As Africa is the cradle of humanity, logically it was always know - it was the rest of the world that was unknown. However form a European viewpoint (much later in human history), while north Africa was known the heart of Africa was an 'unknown', uncharted area. This was the case for most European recorded history until the period of the Victorian explorers and the start of colonisation.
