European Expedition
In this period Europeans in Darcest Africa are mostly explorers or big game hunters, rather than the commanders of a conventional military expedition.

Arab Expedition
During the 19th century, Arab expeditions penetrated East Africa from two different directions. The Zanzibaris come from the east coast, while Egyptians and Sudanese moved down from the north. The Zanzibaris had a bad reputation as slave raiders, altough most of their victims were in fact captured for them by native allies. They also engaged in more legitimate trade, especially in ivory. The Egyptians were even more rapacious, as they were mainly interested in seizing recruits for the Egyptian army, and carried no goods for peaceful trading.

Native Kingdom
This list covers those large, well organised Central and Eastern African states which were run along traditional lines, usually headed by an autocratic ruler whom Europeans described as a king. These states typically consisted of a centrally controlled core area surrounded by a ring of vassal territories, the strength of whose allegiance varied inversely with their distance from the capital. They could often call on relatively large numbers of fighting men. Native Kingdoms could include: Uganda, Unyoro, Rwanda and Burundi in the Great Lakes region; the Azande states of the Nile-Congo watershed; the Luba, Lunda and Kuba kingdoms of the southern Congo; the Hehe of Tanganyika; and the Bemba and Lozi of what is now Zambia.

Tribal Herdsmen
Some African societies in the drier savannah regions rejected farming, and lived mainly from the products of their cattle. They tended to be very warlike, conservative, and convinced of their own superiority over both farmers and hunters. The most famous ex-ample from East Africa are the Masai, but similar herdsmen dominated most of the southern Sudan. The Ngoni, who migrated into East Africa from the south early in the 19th century and brought with them the military system of the Zulus, may also be placed in this category. A popular pastime among the warriors of these tribes was stealing cattle, from the farmers or each other. They fought very effectivly against other traditio-nal Africans, but their rash courage, and their tendency to despise guns and skirmishing tactics, made them terrible vulnerable to modern firearms.
