Discovering Africa - Dr Livingstone

As one of the first medical missionaries to arrive in southern Africa, the first in central Africa, Dr Livingstone was frequently the first European the tribe’s people met. Their trust was won as he was a healer and medicine man and his reputation spread so far he had to restrict himself to treatment of those with only serious illnesses.

These worksheets look at Dr Livingstone travels to Africa, the students discuss what they would have packed to take with them, how they would have traveled there and the discoveries made there and how they would have helped the British Empire.
