Arnot crossed the watershed between the Zambezi and Congo basins in 1884, identifying the source of the Zambezi.

In 1884, Arnot traveled over the height of land separating the Zambezi and Congo watersheds and identified the source of the Zambezi.

The exact date is not specified beyond the year 1884.
