May 1858 CE
The expedition will lead to the establishment of the Central Africa Mission and is under the command of Dr. David Livingstone, who will become famous for his journeys into the interior of Africa.
However, the Zambesi will turn out to be completely impassable to boats past the Cahora Bassa rapids, a series of cataracts and rapids that Livingstone had failed to explore on his earlier travels.
