The first of Livingstone's three major expeditions, in which he
followed the Zambezi, discovering Victoria Falls in the process,
as well as the Shire and Ruyuma rivers, ranging from Angola in
the west to Mozambique in the east. During these years he explored
vast regions of central Africa, many of which had never been seen by
white men before.
Livingstone is considered to be one of the greatest
humanitarian's in his efforts to abolish the African slave trade.
