  • Stanley was also the first European to circumnavigate Lake Victoria and the man responsible for opening parts of central Africa to transportation. Stanley's discoveries answered some of the main questions about the geography of Africa's interior waterways. His observations became the foundation for Belgian King Leopold's violent Congo Free State and inspired a period of imperialism whose effects continue today.
  • Henry Morton Stanley's first African expedition was in 1871, on assignment for The New York Herald to find Livingstone, who was assumed dead. Stanley's famous question upon finding him, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" made Stanley a household name in the explorer frenzy that followed Livingstone's journeys.
  • While Stanley was traveling toward Nyangwe, British explorer Verney Lovett Cameron (1844-1894) had already arrived. He, too, had planned to uncover the Lualaba/Congo mystery; he suspected that the Lualaba was a river that fed the Congo.

  • The expedition reached a pool, which Stanley named the Stanley Pool, during this period of continued tumultuous travel. At this point the team counted a total of 32 battles with hostile, allegedly cannibalistic, tribes. The remaining tribes that the expedition encountered from the Stanley Pool until the end of the journey were peaceful, but the river was not. The Congo, as Stanley had now surmised that the Lualaba and the Congo were the same river, would have nearly 200 miles (320 km) of the most severe rapids he would encounter.

  • Life-giving streams fertilized and watered lower mountain slopes, providing an ideal environment for early man to develop from nomadic hunter-gatherer to settled farmer, building villages and developing a cohesive society. Apart from a few stone bowls, you will find no traces of these early settlements on trek tours of Kilimanjaro.

      Early man thrived in this ideal environment as he transitioned from a nomadic hunter-gatherer to a sedentary farmer, creating villages and a coherent society. Life-giving streams fertilized and watered lower mountain slopes. On Kilimanjaro trek excursions, you won't see any remnants of these early communities except than a few stone bowls.

  • In 1849, missionary Johann Rebmann, published an account that was not believed. Kilimanjaro became part of a German Protectorate in 1885. Hans Meyer was the first European to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to reach the summit of Kibo in October of 1889. At this point, it was actually described as “The highest mountain in Germany”! The German colonial government made Mount Kilimanjaro a game reserve together with its surrounding forests until it was allocated to the British as a Protectorate under the League of Nations until Tanzanian Independence in 1961.

      Johann Rebmann, a missionary, published an unverified report in 1849. In 1885, the German Protectorate annexed Kilimanjaro. In October 1889, Hans Meyer became the first European to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro and reach the peak of Kibo. It was literally referred to at this point as "The highest mountain in Germany"! Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding forests were designated a game reserve by the German colonial administration before being given to the British as a Protectorate under the League of Nations until Tanzanian Independence in 1961.

      The Wakonyingo were described as Bantu dwarf pygmies of mythical proportions, with tails, big heads, magical abilities, and the capacity to live near heaven at the tops of mountains. The Wakonyingo may have vanished because the Umbo tribe, whom they had driven from the Usambara Mountains, was to blame.
  • The Chagga now form one of Tanzania’s largest, richest, best refined and most powerful ethnic groups, possibly because of the fertility of their homelands combined with their contact with early German colonialists and missionaries whose travel in Africa provided the Chagga with education and opportunities to embrace the Western culture.

      katlegomodiba on 26 Apr 23
       
      The Chagga are currently one of Tanzania's largest, wealthiest, most civilized, and powerful ethnic groups, perhaps as a result of the abundance of their native lands and the early German colonists and missionaries who traveled through Africa and gave the Chagga access to education and opportunities to adopt Western culture.
  • edicine men practiced animal and even human sacrifice with elaborate rituals for purifying people who had been the target of curses or malicious magic. They practiced circumcision, puberty rituals, elaborate levels of burial rites depending on the status of the deceased, and brides were coached to put on appropriate weight before carrying them to their husbands.

      The Chagga people are reach/wealthy because of their plantations. And i think it is good that they do not accept barter payment as in a way bartering was not a good thing.

    This image was taken in 1870 during Henrey M. Stanley`s expedition. this symbolizes exploration and it shows a mutual relation between Africans and the Europeans / Westerns. This is seen as an African man (telling from his attire) pridefully waving an American flag. and the other Africans are holdings guns, which were new to the African society.

    In the eighteenth century towards the nineteenth century, the Zanzibar stood out for being the main slave market in Eastern Africa due to its strategic location in the Indian Ocean. The provided picture below depicts the enslaved people [natives] at the East African slave market in the port of Zanzibar.

    Based on the text provided, the letter is from Captain Playdierks to the Earl of Derby, reporting his return from the Seychelles and providing information he collected about the training and education of African children who were captured by her majesty's cruisers and landed at the Seychelles. The letter mentions that there had been concerns about the suitability of the Seychelles for the purpose of training and educating the liberated Africans, as no provisions had been made for their proper maintenance/support and many had fallen into moral decay. The letter reports Captain Playdierks' efforts to rectify this situation, including holding a personal conference with Chief Civil Commissioner Mitre to discuss the role of Christian missions and missionaries in helping the children.
