Frederick Stanley Arnot reaches the Zambezi source region

Background. Frederick Stanley Arnot, a British missionary born in Glasgow, worked in regions now known as Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 1884, he left Bulozi to seek medical attention and escape a brewing rebellion against Lewanika. That same year, he traveled over the height of land separating the Zambezi and Congo watersheds and identified the source of the Zambezi.

Geographical Context. The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa, rising in Zambia. The watershed between the Congo and Zambezi basins is a distinct belt of high ground running east-west. Arnot traveled over this height of land, which falls abruptly to the north and south, to identify the river's source.

Journey and Identification. Arnot's 1884 expedition involved traveling over the height of land between the Zambezi and Congo watersheds. He identified the source of the Zambezi during this journey. The event is associated with Kalene Hill, though the specific date of identification is not explicitly stated in the provided passages beyond the year 1884.
