He had to contend with innumerable difficulties -- the blocking of the river by sudd, the bitter hostility of officials interested in the slave trade, the armed opposition of the natives -- but he succeeded in planting in the new territory the foundations upon which others could build up an administration.

 Samuel Baker - Wikipedia
Samuel White Baker (Londra, 8 giugno 1821 - Sandford Orleigh, 30 dicembre 1893) fu un esploratore britannico.
Il successo della loro spedizione fece pensare a Baker che nulla era rimasto da fare per la sua spedizione, ma i due esploratori gli diedero sufficienti informazioni per permettergli, dopo essersi diviso da loro, di scoprire quello che egli stesso chiamò poi il Lago Alberto.
Baker vide per la prima volta il lago il 14 marzo 1864 e esplorando le sue vicinanze, dimostrò che esso veniva attraversato dal Nilo; tuttavia si fece una idea sbagliata delle dimensioni del lago, che riteneva essere molto più grande di quanto in realtà non fosse.
