About the book

The Source of the Nile recounts the nineteenth-century exploration of East Africa and the long European search for the origins of the River Nile. The narrative follows explorers through difficult terrain, unfamiliar climates and intense rivalries as they attempted to solve one of geography's great mysteries. Combining adventure, travel and history, the book captures both the achievements and controversies surrounding Victorian exploration.
