Als der junge Reporter Henry Morton Stanley 1869 von seinem exzentrischen New Yorker Verleger ins Pariser Grand Hotel bestellt wird - wo er seinen Chef im Schlafanzug vorfindet -, ahnt er nichts vom gigantischen Ausmaß des abenteuerlichen Auftrags, der sein Leben verändern wird. Seine Mission, koste es was es wolle: von Sansibar aus an der Spitze eines hundertköpfigen Suchtrupps ins Innere des »Schwarzen Kontinents« vordringen, um den verschollenen Afrikaforscher David Livingstone zu finden. Der Gewaltmarsch durch Dschungel und Savanne fordert seinen Tribut: ein Großteil von Stanleys Begleitern desertiert, meutert oder fällt Tropenkrankheiten zum Opfer. Nach acht lebensgefährlichen Monaten findet er am 10.11.1871 im kleinen Dorf Ujiji am Tanganjikasee endlich den von vielen bereits Totgesagten. Stanleys trocken-ironische Begrüßungsformel - »Dr. Livingstone, nehme ich an?« - geht in die Geschichte ein. Der junge Reporter rettet dem berühmten Afrikaforscher das Leben und dank Livingstones Einfluss entwickelt sich Stanley später selbst zum renommierten Afrikaforscher. Egal ob man heute Stanleys Route auf der Suche nach Livingstone folgt oder die vielen Stationen von Livingstones Expeditionen entdeckt - überall findet man atemberaubende Natur, deren einzigartige Schönheit in Natur- und Nationalparks gewürdigt und geschützt wird. Von den von Livingstone entdeckten Victoriafällen in Sambia - heute UNESCO Weltnaturerbe - bis zu den Nationalparks - Gombe-Stream und Mahale Mountains - am Tanganjikasee: traumhafte Natur pur.

Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), the Welsh-born explorer famous for his 1871 meeting with the missionary David Livingstone, travelled widely in Africa. First published in 1898, this is a compendium of letters written by Stanley during his travels to Bulawayo, Johannesburg and Pretoria, which lend a unique insight into colonial South Africa in the late nineteenth century. Focusing on the country's culture and commercial development, he recalls his impressions of industries such as railways, farms and gold mines, social issues such as immigration and poverty, and the contentious relations between the Boer peoples and the British colonists which led to the Second Boer War. Through his passionate exposition, we learn of his adversity towards President Kruger's policies, and his compassion for the people who he claims were left to starve because the government's priorities were military. His memoirs provide a revealing snapshot of an important period in South Africa's history.

Published in 1886, My African Travels is a succinct record of British American explorer Henry Morton Stanley's adventurous African expeditions during 1871-1884 and the results of his travels.

Stanley describes his journey through the forests and rivers of Africa and his encounters with the African wildlife, tribespeople, and Arab settlers and traders amidst the variegated beauty of places such as Unyamwezi, Usagara, Ukawendi, and Tanganika districts. Ranging over events such as Stanley's historic rescue of Livingstone to Livingstone's death and Stanley's further expeditions in Africa and his exploration and development of the Congo state, My African Travels is the saga of a passionate explorer with graphic descriptions of the vicissitudes of an African journey.
