Summary "Durch Massailand zur Nilquelle" by Oskar Baumann is a detailed travel account written in the late 19th century. The work documents the author's travels and explorations during the Massai Expedition, organized by the German Anti-Slavery Committee in the years 1891-1893. Baumann's narrative focuses on the previously uncharted territories between Kilimanjaro and the Victoria Lake, shedding light on both the geographical conditions and the cultural interactions he experienced during his journey. At the start of the account, Baumann recounts his arrival in Tanga, where he prepares for a significant expedition into the largely unexplored Massai regions. He emphasizes the importance of meticulous planning, such as selecting a competent team and acquiring proper supplies. The narrative reveals Baumann's sense of adventure, as he interacts with varied characters, from local informants to fellow travelers, and faces challenges such as recruitment of crew members and establishing provisions for the long journey ahead. The opening segment showcases his observations of the vibrant landscape and foreshadows the trials of traversing through unknown lands populated by unfamiliar and often dangerous tribes.
