About This Book

The account traces the creation and operation of a Belgian-sponsored effort in Central Africa, from the founding of an International African Association under royal patronage through an expedition that left via Zanzibar toward the inland lakes. It describes routes and logistics, encounters with caravans and local rulers, the establishment of a station at Karema near Lake Tanganyika, the hardships and deaths among officers and carriers, surveys of geography and natural resources, and reflections on commerce, anti-slavery aims, and the region's possible future development.
