Speke and Grant John Hanning Speke (1827-1864) James Augustus Grant (1827-1892) John Hanning Speke, who had already fought in the British army in India, first became an explorer in 1854, when he joined Richard Burton on a voyage of exploration to Somaliland and eastern Ethiopia. When in 1856 Burton was again sent out to Africa, this time to search for the source of the Nile in East Africa, he again chose Speke as his second-in-command. Together they discovered Lake Tanganyika, and while Burton lay ill, Speke on his own discovered Lake Victoria. For more on these voyages, see Richard Burton Speke was back in England before Burton. Although Speke had promised Burton not to publish anything about their discoveries until the latter had arrived as well, Roderick Murchison, the chairman of the Royal Geographical Society , gave out a press conference immediately after Speke's arrival, and when Burton reached England, Speke had already made their voyage famous, and had been appointed the leader of a new expedition to the area. Burton was bittered, especially because Speke proclaiming that Lake Victoria was the source of the Nile, while Burton himself believed that there was a whole series of lakes which all were sources of the Nile. The new expedition was prepared carefully. Speke chose James Augustus Grant, a friend from his army days, as his companion, while John Petherick, the British consul in Khartoum, was ordered to send ships upstream the Nile to Gondokoro to aid the explorers in their voyage back home. Speke and Grant left England in April 1860, and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to Zanzibar, where they arrived in August. On October 2 they started their voyage to the inlands of Africa.

Related Resources Exploration of Africa Even in the 18th century, much of the interior of Africa was unfamiliar to Europeans. Rather they limited themselves to trade along the coast, first in gold, ivory, spices, and later slaves. In 1788 Joseph Banks, the botanist who'd sailed across the Pacific Ocean with Cook, went as far as to found the African Association to promote the exploration of the interior of the continent. What follows is a list of those explorers whose names went down in history. Ibn Battuta (1304-1377) travelled over 100,000 kilometres from his home in Morocco. According to the book he dictated, he travelled as far as Beijing and the Volga River; scholars say it's unlikely he travelled everywhere he claims to have.

In 1854 he made his first voyage, joining the already famous Richard Francis Burton on an expedition to Somalia. Despite hardships, the two managed to reach the 'forbidden city' Harar. In 1856, Burton was asked to make a voyage to East Africa, to find the sources of the Nile. He again chose Speke as his companion. The two travelled inland from Zanzibar and discovered Lake Tanganyika. They heard of a second lake in the area, but Burton was too sick to make the voyage. Speke thus went alone, and found the lake, which he christened Lake Victoria. Source: Wikipedia Project Gutenberg: The Discovery of the Source of the Nile by John Hanning Speke film

GPS waypoints You are here: Home > History: Mountains of the Moon HISTORY: THE MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON (1844-1889) The beginning of the colonial era in East Africa is not clear cut. The region started to fall under British influence since the first alliances of the Muscat sultanate with England, reinforced afterwards by Seyyid Said and prolonged during the Zanzibar sultanate. Apart from that ephemeral first British protectorate from 1824 to 1826, the European powers cultured their commercial relationships with the sultan. Both England and France attempted to dominate the trading routes with Asia. Since the Suez channel project was envisioned and forecasted to be the major highway for this trade, locating the Nile source meant controlling the river, and hence, the channel, reason why Uganda became a paramount objective. The channel would be opened in 1869 under French control, but in 1881 England would acquire most of the shares from an Egyptian citizen. These economic and political interests found their counterpart in others, less tangible. For some, the exploration of Africa also posed personal challenges, being of epic or religious nature. Pioneers over all pioneers, the first Europeans to penetrate the unexplored inner lands of East Africa were two German missionaries serving the

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.
