  Andersson, an Anglo-Swedish naturalist, and one of the great travellers and explorers of Africa, set out in 1850, with Francis Galton, to follow Livingstone’s trail to Lake Ngami. Unlike Livingstone they approached from the west, across what is now Namibia, through unexplored Ovamboland and back to the coast. In 1853 Andersson tried again, this time alone, and successfully reached Ngami through Bechuanaland. Continuing on he attempted to reach the Okavango, but was again prevented by tribal disputes, and finally succeeded on a later expedition. He later became deeply involved in the tribal politics of south-west Africa, as champion of the Damara people. He was also an expert on South African birds.

  Mendelssohn I, p115: “Mr Bent made a careful examination of the remains of the ancient buildings in Mashonaland, and was of the opinion that they were erected by Arabians, a race of North African explorers, whose civilisation must have been of a high order; and he expressed great admiration for the beauty, solidity, and intricacy of the masonry. It is stated that although these ruins have been commented on by various authors as far back as the sixteenth century, they all seem to have been written from hearsay, with the exception of Carl Mauch, who visited them in 1871. The author investigated the habits and industries of the Mashonas, and the work not only deals with Mr Bent’s archælogical researches, but serves as a pioneer book on Mashonaland under the Chartered Company.”

  This expedition was undertaken to survey and chart the south-east coast of Africa, Madagascar and the west coast of Africa. The book holds exceptional interest for these areas, but also for South Africa, Mozambique, whaling, slave trade, Zambesi, Seychelles, Mauritius, Congo, Old Callabar, Cameroons and Sierra Leone. There are good descriptions of the Cape and Port Natal, a disastrous sub-expedition to survey part of the Zambesi, and finally the expedition to survey the west coast.

  “One of the cleverest volumes of fabricated travels ever produced. The details are so circumstantial, and the mixture of fact and fiction is accomplished with so much skill, that it is not uncommon to find people who do not know that the account of the travels is nothing more than a well-contrived literary deception. Much of the compilation is evidently based on Le Vaillant, as far as South Africa is concerned, and the author quotes liberally from his works, and is bold enough to contradict some of the statements contained in these volumes.” Mendelssohn

  The classic book on Mount Kenya. This was the first full account of any expedition to the mountain, despite the fact that its summit had been conquered several years previously, by H J Mackinder. By this time the summit had been reached again by P Wyn Harris, E E Shipton and G A Sommerfelt and public interest had already been aroused so much that Dutton foresaw a day when “the mountain will be invaded by tourists...already an attempt is being made to drive a motor road through the forests”. This record thus serves as an account of the mountain when it was still necessary to go on foot.
  The work is enhanced considerably by magnificent photographs by J D Melluish, and by Hillaire Belloc’s humorous introduction.

  This expedition had a number of objects, one of which was to furnish the late Mr Cecil Rhodes with such information...as might be of assistance in the selection of a route for the projected trans-continental railway - more especially with reference to the crossing of the Zambesi.
  “Captain Gibbons hunted in Barotseland for about ten months, and he gives a full description of the regions of the Upper Zambesi, together with an account of the Marotse, Matoka, Mashikolumbwe, and other subjects of the Marotse king, Liwanika. The volume contains many views of the country, and of the Victoria Falls, together with illustrations of many hunting scenes. There is a map of the kingdom of the Marotse, and the appendices contain some excellent chapters on the characteristics, climate, prosopects, and fauna of the country.” Mendelssohn

He arrived in Addis Ababa in 1915, after a journey through the rugged hinterland of the country. On one excursion to the forested region near Mount Marsabit, he hunted rhinoceros and elephant. “I had a horrible sensation of utter helplessness, as I realised that even with a .600 express it is impossible to stop an elephant at close quarters.” Mountain nyala were also hunted in the Chilalo Mountains, though none were bagged - the author was using a new rifle that he had not sighted on!” Czech

  “Jameson joined the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition as naturalist, under the direction of Stanley and was left as second-in-command of the rear column in Yambuya. In May 1988, whilst visiting the Riba Riba settlement, he expressed the view that cannibalism was believed to be ‘travellers’ tales’, or lies. Presently a young girl was killed and dismembered in his presence, until the last moment, he could not believe they were in earnest and was horrified and sickened by the sight. After his death, Stanley reported the story in ‘The Times’, reporting that Jameson had almost directly invited the girl’s death. But his loyal determination to carry out Stanley’s orders at all risks and the endurance of hunger, toil and illness, go far to counterbalance the incident that marred his fame.” DNB.
