Majestic River

Mungo Park and the Exploration of the Niger

Charles WJ Withers

For two millennia only the central section of the River Niger was known to Europeans, through the trade route to Timbuktu; the rest of its course remained a mystery. This account tells how the Scottish explorer Mungo Park established its direction of flow in 1796 but died attempting to discover its destination a decade later, and traces the efforts of his successors in locating its delta in what is now Nigeria.
