The Europeans had a hard time looking for the source of the nile river in africa. The explore name was John Speke and Richard Burton came to africa in 1854 looking for the source of the nile . The reason is that the europeans did not know what the inside of africa looked like. They first came to africa around at 1854 and they landed in the Somalia. From there , they went inland and there they had many problems. The faced dangerous tribes and there were almost killed.
