<P> Henry Morton Stanley , who had in 1871 succeeded in finding and succouring Livingstone ( originating the famous line `` Dr. Livingstone , I presume '' ) , started again for Zanzibar in 1874 . In one of the most memorable of all exploring expeditions in Africa , Stanley circumnavigated Victoria Nyanza ( Lake Victoria ) and Lake Tanganyika . Striking farther inland to the Lualaba , he followed that river down to the Atlantic Ocean -- which he reached in August 1877 -- and proved it to be the Congo . </P>
