Professor Axelson outlines the main events in the Portuguese exploration of the coasts of South and East Africa. He writes of the founding of trading and marine stations, and of the early penetration by the Portuguese into the interior of the continent, up the Zambesi and into the lands of the "emperor" Monomotapa (Mwene Mutapa) in search of gold.
