First Footsteps in East Africa is Richard Francis Burton's 1856 account of his 1854-55 expedition to the forbidden East African city of Harar, Somalia. As a pioneering European traveler, he disguised himself as an Arab merchant, documenting the difficult journey through the interior, hostile encounters, unique cultures, and the landscape of the Somali coast. The book offers a detailed historical and ethnographic record, providing valuable insights into the region's geography, flora, fauna, and the complexities of 19th-century East African life.
