Mungo Park (11 September 1771 – 1806) was a Scottish explorer of West Africa. After an exploration of the upper Niger River around 1796, he wrote a popular and influential travel book titled Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa in which he theorized the Niger and Congo merged to become the same river. He was killed during a second expedition, having successfully traveled about two-thirds of the way down the Niger. With Park's death, the idea of a Niger-Congo merger remained an open question although it became the leading theory among geographers. The mystery of the Niger's course, which had been speculated about since the Ancient Greeks and was second only to the mystery of the Nile's source, was not solved for another 25 years, in 1830, when it was discovered the Niger and Congo we

Seine beiden Reisen (1795–1797 und 1805–1806) führten ihn über den Fluss Gambia an den Lauf des Nigers.

Sein daraufhin veröffentlichter Reisebericht Travels in the Interior of Africa war damals schon ein Bestseller und gilt noch heute als Klassiker.
