Into Africa: The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone Free Audiobook Download by Martin Dugard


"In 1871, Stanley set out to find Livingstone, a determined explorer who had left Britain two years earlier and was rumored to be on his way to East Africa. They met in November 1872, and the reunion was so spectacular that it captured the imagination of everyone around them."

About four hundred miles from where Stanley began his explorations, Livingstone has just arrived. He is looking for an area of rich soil to plant his sweet potatoes, but he needs to get past the tribesmen who are guarding the region.

It is a story of adventure, exploration and discovery. It's the true life story of Henry Morton Stanley and John Hanning Speke, two men who set out to find the source of the Nile. They were both men without borders and without limits.

Into Africa: The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone tells the true story of how two men, the famous explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley and missionary David Livingstone, met on the fateful trip when Stanley's steamboat stopped in Zanzibar.

In 1871, the biggest challenge of Stanley's life was to cross Africa. He had no idea what was in store for him. He never thought he would be faced with such dangers and hardships. But this is what made his story even more astonishing and remarkable as he pushed forward despite all odds of not succeeding in his goals.

Stanley and Livingstone were two of the most important explorers of all time. They were rivals in many ways, but they did have one thing in common -- they both had a passion for exploring Africa. Stanley and Livingstone's paths crossed more times than either could recount, but their rivalry never came with violence or disdain. Their stories are both true to a fault about their lives, their convictions, and even death.
