1836–1925
A botanist and ethnologist with a taste for difficult journeys, this 19th-century explorer is best remembered for traveling deep into East Central Africa and writing vividly about the people, plants, and places he encountered. His work helped widen European knowledge of the region at a time when much of it was still poorly documented in the West.
