' the Most part of geographers knows, that before opening of lake Ngami and that plentifully irrigated area in which there live tribes makololo, the belief dominated, that the considerable part of internal Africa represents desert where flow and in which sand the rivers are lost. I during the travel from ocean to ocean through a southern tropical part of continent have found out 1852-1856, that all this area actually is well irrigated, that in it there are big territories with the most fertile, covered woods soil, and also fine grassy valleys in which there lives the considerable population; and I have found out also one of zamechatelnejshih falls in the world. After this it was possible to find out features of the physical device of Africa. It has appeared to the raised plateaus which are a little going down in the centre and with crevices on each side on which the rivers will run to the sea.
