Mungo Park undertook this journey in 1795 on behalf of the African Society in London.
He traveled from Gambia to the interior of the continent, was captured by the Moorish King Ali in 1796, but managed to escape and, with great danger, reached the Niger, from where he returned to the coast with a slave transport in 1797
