Yes, there have been notable African explorers throughout history. Some examples include Mungo Park from Scotland who explored West Africa, Ibn Battuta from Morocco who traveled extensively across Africa and beyond, and Wangari Maathai from Kenya who was a prominent environmental activist and explorer in her own right.
European explorers often exchanged goods with local African traders along the coast of Africa, at trading posts established by the Europeans. Key trading posts included those in West Africa along the Gulf of Guinea, such as Elmina and Cape Coast Castle in present-day Ghana.
The plural of "explorer" is "explorers."
European explorers were primarily attracted to Africa by the potential for wealth through the trade of valuable resources such as gold, ivory, and other goods. They were also interested in expanding their empires, establishing new trade routes, spreading Christianity, and gaining knowledge about the cultures and territories of the African continent.
Explorers had a complex impact on Africa. On one hand, they brought new ideas, goods, and technology to the continent. However, they also contributed to the exploitation and colonization of Africa, resulting in the loss of autonomy and resources for African societies. Their activities profoundly transformed political, economic, and social structures across the continent.
National Geographic's website has a section dedicated to explorers that provides information on famous explorers from around the world, their expeditions, and their contributions to history. It's a great resource for researching explorers.
I don't think they "desired" African slaves. At first many explorers brought back people from places they had visited on their voyages, but most of them died before the explorers could get the new slaves back to europe. So i don't think the African slaves were really targeted, it was just from where the explorers sailed to.
