A journey from Berbera to Lake Rudolf presents significant challenges and dangers, necessitating meticulous planning and ample resources to address potential issues. Historically, since Sir Richard Burton's initial explorations of the Galla territories, numerous European attempts to traverse the region between Somaliland and Lake Rudolf have failed. Encouragement came from Captain H. G. S. Swayne, who had conducted several expeditions in Somaliland. On his last journey, he reached Ime on the Shebeli River and sought to enter the Galla country but was thwarted. Despite having an escort of forty armed men, the Gallas refused him entry due to past hostilities from previous European explorers, notably Prince Ruspoli and Captain Bottego, who had attacked them with large armed forces. In response, the Gallas united to prevent further incursions by Europeans. This historical context underscores the complexities and risks involved in exploring these uncharted territories. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing significant historical works, utilizing advanced technology to restore and preserve original formats while addressing imperfections in aged copies.
