Giraud

In 1882-1884 the French naval lieutenant Victor Giraud proceeded by the north of Nyasa to Lake Bangweulu, of which he made the first fairly correct map.

Teleki

Count Sámuel Teleki de Szék (November 1, 1845 – March 10, 1916) was a Hungarian explorer who led the first expedition to Northern Kenya. He was the first European to see, and name, Lake Rudolf (Lake Turkana), though the existence of the lake was known in Europe long before Teleki arrived at the scene.

The map accompanied a report published in Revue francaise de l'etranger et des colonies et Exploration, gazette, Volume 11, which included and article covering the Voyage of Captain Trivier to Equatorial Africa, Congo and Mozambique, based upon correspondence from Kassongo dated April 1889 and Mozambique dated December 1889.
