A council of the Geographical Society was now convened to ascertain what projects I had in view for making good my discovery by connecting the lake with the Nile, as also what assistance I should want for that purpose. My motive for deferring the journey a year was the hope that I might, in the meanwhile, send on fifty men, carrying beads and brass wire, under charge of Arab ivory-traders, to Karague, and fifty men more, in the same way, to Kaze; whilst I, arriving in the best season for travelling (May, June, or July), would be able to push on expeditiously to my depots so formed, and thus escape the great disadvantages of travelling with a large caravan in a country where no laws prevail to protect one against desertions and theft. Moreover, I knew that the negroes who would have to go with me, as long as they believed I had property in advance, would work up to it willingly, as they would be the gainers by doing so; whilst, with nothing before them, they would be always endeavouring to thwart my advance, to save them from a trouble which their natural laziness would prompt them to escape from. This beautiful project, I am sorry to say, was doomed from the first; for I did not get the £2500 grant of money or appointment to the command until fully nine months had elapsed, when I wrote to Colonel Rigby, our Consul at Zanzibar, to send on the first instalment of property towards the interior.

At the Zoo: The Snorting Gazelle by Debra Solomon In spite of the cloud surrounding Speke's claim, his discovery was quickly confirmed after his death. But finding the source of the Nile wasn't the only legacy Speke left. He also left his mark on the names of several East African animals he was first to describe to the West, including Speke's weaver, a small bird, and Speke's gundi, a rodent. One of Speke's most graceful "finds" was Speke's gazelle, four of which recently arrived at the National Zoo, where they now live at the Cheetah Conservation Station. Small and delicate, Speke's gazelles are brown, dog-sized antelope with white patches around the bases of their tails and on the backs of their thighs. They are found in the wild on the dry open plains of Somalia and Ethiopia. Adapted to a desert climate, they feed in the morning and evening, when leaves hold the most moisture, and lie around during the hottest times of the day, conserving precious water.

In 2003 the UPDF had about 40,000 troops. The size of the army rose in the late 1990s due to Ugandan military involvement in rebellions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Military service is voluntary. The military has had great influence on the political process since it took over the government in 1986.

King Arthur Lives Font Size: Explorer, Scholar, Soldier, Spy By Kenneth Silber Published E-Mail Bookmark Print Save TCS Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was, in his own words, "a blaze of light without a focus." He was a soldier, undercover agent, and diplomat for the British Empire, an explorer who sought the sources of the Nile, a scholar who translated the Arabian Nights and the Kama Sutra , and the first Englishman to enter the Islamic city of Mecca . His travels and postings brought him to far-flung parts of Africa, India and South America . He spoke some 29 languages, and could pass for various nationalities. Burton 's remarkable life deserves to be better known to Americans partly for its historical interest and sheer adventure, but also because it exemplifies certain qualities vital to American military, intelligence, diplomatic and economic success in the world today. These include a strong interest in foreign languages and cultures, a capacity for physical bravery in dangerous times and places, and an intellectual boldness suitable for the defense and promotion of liberal democratic civilization against its avowed enemies.

Contact Us Front Page Adventure Nile River Rafters Draw Closer to Epic Run Stefan Lovgren for National Geographic News May 4, 2004 After John Hanning Speke in 1858 encountered a magnificent sheet of water in the heart of East Africa, the Scottish explorer announced that he had found the source of the Nile. The world's longest river, Speke declared, originates in the lake he named Victoria, and ends 5,584 kilometers (3,470 miles) later in the Mediterranean Sea. Speke may have solved one of the greatest mysteries in 19th-century geography. But in the 136 years since his discovery, no one is believed to have ever traveled the whole length of the Nile river, which snakes its way through some of the most rugged and remote terrain on the planet. Now, an international rafting team could soon join the select few to navigate the Nile from source to sea. The seven rafters left Bujagali Falls in Jinja, Uganda, on January 17. After negotiating their way through rebel territories and down raging cataracts, they recently left Sudan and crossed into Egypt. Now down to six people, the rafters expect to reach the Mediterranean Sea later this month. The voyage is more than just an adventure. Sponsored by the aid agency CARE, the explorers have been visiting humanitarian projects en route. They hope their journey will draw attention to the plight of people living in war-shattered areas along the Nile River.

Journey to the Source of the Nile Back to Reviews - Main Page "The great prize for Victorian adventurers was the discovery of the geographic source of the Nile. In 1858, John Hanning Speke was generally acknowledged to have won the race when he became the first white man to cast eyes on Lake Victoria. In Journey to the Source of the Nile , author and photographer Christopher Ondaatje retraces the journeys of explorers who searched for the great river's roots -Speke, Burton, Grant, Baker, Livingstone, and Stanley. Along the way, he offers insights into the lives and personalities of these remarkable and tenacious adventurers and makes the claim that, in fact, Speke had it wrong. Lake Victoria, he writes, is not the source of the Nile, but merely one of two reservoirs (the other being Lake Albert) of the true source: the rivers Kagera and Semlikl, which drain the watershed of the Mountains of the Moon. He is not the first person to come to this conclusion, of course, and it is not the real strength of the book. It is the portrait he paints, in both words and superb images, of this magnificent region of the continent. There is also much here about the sad legacy of artificial borders drawn by European powers, the "hangover" of colonization, the growing influence of Islam and the tragedies and terrors of the area's gradual reversion to tribalism."

Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton: explorer, adventurer, scholar, mystic, stud. As an officer in the Honourable East India Company, Burton traveled extensively throughout the world in the capacity of a secret agent. He traveled incognito, disguised as a wanderer, throughout the Near East and Africa. As a master linguist and as an expert practitioner of various world religions, he was able to become the first Westerner to enter the forbidden African city of Harar. He traveled to the holy cities of Medina and Mecca as a Muslim. He introduced the words pajamas and safari to the English language. He wrote numerous books detailing his travels. He discovered and translated the Kama Sutra and The Perfumed Gardens, and translated the Arabian Nights. He was the co-discoverer of Lake Tanganyika in Africa, and laid the groundwork for Speke and Grant's discovery of the source of the Nile, Lake Victoria. Born in Torquay, Devonshire, England in 1821, Burton became an Oxford man. But do not be mislead! Here was no effete, fey, whiny, pencil-necked, wimpy, 90-pound, pansy, classical-music listening, "fag-" smoking poetry-reading, badminton-playing, crochet-knitting, girlie-voiced Englishman of the typical ilk, nowadays embodied by wimpy actor Hugh Grant. No, he was a man's man! Described as tall, dark, romantic-looking and with "gypsy eyes," Burton was a strapping, robust man, whose physical strength would serve him well throughout his years of adventuring.
