The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama rounded the southern tip of Africa, known as the Cape of Good Hope, and reached the Indian port of Calicut in 1498. This voyage was significant as it established a sea route to India, allowing Portugal to access the lucrative spice trade. Da Gama's journey marked a key moment in the Age of Exploration, enhancing European maritime power and facilitating global trade networks. His successful expedition paved the way for further Portuguese exploration and colonization in Asia.
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.
