  • This is his journey eastwards down the Zambezi from Caprivi to the coast.
  • He decided to travel on the north bank of the Zambezi under the impression that Tete, the farthest Portuguese inland station, was on that side (it wasn’t). Accompanied by Chief Sekeletu of the Makololo, Livingstone headed downriver by canoe. Soon after leaving, the chief asked Livingstone: “Have you smoke that thunders in your country?” He pointed at columns of vapour rising into the blue sky, their summits seeming to mingle with the clouds. Livingstone soon heard a dull roar, and the boatmen brought them to an island in the middle of the river “on the very edge of the lip over which the water rolls”. They stood and stared at the boiling torrent below them.

      Here the Author wrote about the first time David Lingstone saw the Great Fall which is now known as a Vicoria Falls.

  • In his travels, the missionary almost always noted and respected local names of rivers, mountains and areas. But when he beheld the great falls on the Zambezi, he was so awestruck he departed from this policy and named them after Queen Victoria.
  • Livingstone was a marvellously perceptive ethnographer and naturalist. Plodding down the river, he took time – sometimes days – to question people about their customs, or to note species, often drawing them with meticulous care

      As I could not annotate the document I wrote here. This is a monograph by David Livingstone who is the famous explorer of Africa, he wrote this document to the English Government about his expedition to the Zambezi River. David explained in detail about his discoveries which one of them is the "Mosi-oa-Tunya" which is now known as Victoria Falls. He described it in detail and it appearance, we have seen that on page2 where he stated that " when the water is 300 or 400 feet higher, they loss their steam and become dark like "smoke" and descend like a shower". however, he did not just explain about the river or Victoria Falls, he also gave detail about the country that he was in which was occupied by the Portugues, about how the inhabited were like and how the country was. Lastly, he also spoke about Slave trade, which he was against it we saw that were he said slave were unhappy people who were deprived time to see their families. All of this was the evidence of his exploration. Basically he was exploring Zambezi and its tributaries

      Here we see that Zambesi, was not only explored by Dr. Livingstone only but even other explorers did explore it. Which were Livingstone who is Charlse Livingstone, Dr Livingstone brother and Mr Bainer who was also an explorer.
  • The Zambesi has been examined five times over from between Tete to the sea, and Dr. Livingstone's conclusion is, firstly, that a navigable entrance has been determined by Captain Berkeley, of H.M.S. Lynx, up the Luabo, and by himself up the Kongone. Secondly, that a large vessel could be taken up to Tete at any time between January and April. (This is the unhealthy time of the year; but the Zambesi fever has hitherto appeared a far less formidable illness than wasfeared.) Thirdly, that in a season of unusual drought there were found to be only three crossings, from one deep channel to another, over which his little steamer had to be dragged. These were from 24 to 18 inches deep, and from 100 to 150 feet long. The force of the current of the river averages 2? knots, but never exceeds 4; and Dr. Livingstone considers that a vessel, literally drawing no more than li feet water, could plyat all seasons for the first 300 miles of the Zambes

      The Great Fall that the author stated was the Victoria Fall, which was seen by Dr Livingstone on his expedition to Zambesi. We have seen that in his monograph where he was describing the "great fall" appearance stating that its water descended like a shower, and they appeared as a smoke. Here the author is telling us that by the time Mr. C. Livingstone and Mr. Bainer explorered Zambesi this great fall did not seem so intimidating and impressively as Dr Livingstone described it.

In this monograph he explained in detail how was the Victoria Falls, about the countries in Zambesi such as Tete how they lived and how the country was, and he also mentioned the Slave trade since he was against it.
