Anthropologist and modern day African explorer Julian Monroe Fisher announces
a five year - seven expeditions - Ethnographical research project deep in the
heart of Africa. Entitled, ‘The Great African Expedition’, Fisher will conduct a
21st century Ethnographical documentation of specific regions of Africa related
to the 19th century Victorian age of exploration. The project will follow the
African expeditionary routes of the famed Victorian explorers to include Speke,
Grant, Burton, Baker, de Brazza, Wissman, Cameron, Stanley and Livingstone. For
the journeys Fisher will implore the use of dugout canoes, camels, donkeys,
horses, feluccas, ferry boats and on foot.

The objective of ‘The Great African Expedition’ will be to compare the 19th
century Ethnographical research documentation of the African tribal kingdoms
along the rivers and lakes gathered during the expeditions of the Victorian age
explorers with the realities of 21st century Africa. Phase one and two of the
project will begin in March, 2012, with Fisher travelling alone on an overland
journey up the Nile River from Cairo, Egypt to Khartoum, Sudan. He will then
cross the world’s newest nation of South Sudan to Lake Albert in Uganda.

Julian Monroe Fisher is a Fellow of The Royal Geographical Society in London
and an International Fellow of The Explorers Club in New York City. Between 2007
and 2011 Fisher had the honour of carrying the Explorers Club Flag on five
consecutive research expeditions to the African continent. In 2008 he and his
team were accredited by The Ugandan Wildlife Authority for establishing a new
route in the Rwenzori Mountains. In 2011 the explorer walked large portions of
the African continent between the Indian Ocean coast of Mozambique and the
Atlantic Coast of Angola.
