  David Livingstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Livingstone returned to Africa as head of the "Zambesi Expedition", which was a government-funded project to examine the natural resources of southeastern Africa.
The Zambesi river turned out to be completely unnavigable past the Kabrabasa rapids, a series of cataracts and rapids that Livingstone had failed to explore on his earlier travels.
The Zambesi Expedition was castigated as a failure in many British newspapers of the time, and Livingstone experienced great difficulty in raising funds to further explore Africa.

On the opposite or south bank of the Zambesi we saw the remains of a wall on a height which was probably a fort, and the church stood at a central point, formed by the right bank of the Loangwa and the left of the Zambesi.
From this point the merchants had water communication in three directions beyond, namely, from the Loangwa to the N.N.W., by the Kafue to the W., and by the Zambesi to the S.W. Their attention, however, was chiefly attracted to the N. or Londa; and the principal articles of trade were ivory and slaves.
It is probable that frequent freshets, caused by the rains on this side of the ridge, have prevented the Portuguese near the coast from recognizing the one peculiar flood of inundation observed in the interior, and caused the belief that it is flooded soon after the commencement of the rains.
