Bartholomew Diaz
The answer before said yesss. Let me clarify that Francisco Pizarro was the explorer who brought down the Inca empire. I get confused between Bartholomeu Diaz and Vasco da Gama, but your question helps. In 1498, Vasco da Gama rounded the southern tip of Africa.

Vasco da Gama was the first explorer to sail around Africa and across the Indian ocean to India. He was a Portuguese.
The Portuguese called the southern coast of West Africa the Gold Coast. They first arrived in the area in 1471.
A Portuguese explorer by the name of Bartholomeu Diaz was on a voyage to find a passage to the Far East when he discovered South Africa; he sailed around it and landed near Cape Aghulas. This was the first reported "discovery" of South Africa by a European; in actual fact South Africa has been inhabited for thousands of years by the indigenous peoples of the area (Khoi San and other groups).
