Behobeho,

Game
Reserve,
Tanzania,
2001-2004
An expedition was undertaken in 2001 to retrace the route of
the RGS East Africa Expedition of 1878-80 from Zanzibar to Behobeho and
locate the grave of cartographer/explorer Keith Johnston using GPS and
GIS resources. In April 2002 the route from Behobeho to Lake
Nyasa
was successfully undertaken. A further unsuccessful attempt was
undertaken
in October 2002 to rediscover the gravestone of cartographer
Keith
Johnston at Behobeho. A further expedition took place during 2003
to Behobeho which generated new information and evidence on the
location
of the Behobeho villages. The search area has been narrowed down
to approx. 1/2 square kilometre. A further expedition took place
during October / November 2004.

TANZANIA 1985-93 - Cartographic Training Programmes
As part of a British Council funded Link Programme between the
Universities
of Glasgow and Dar es Salaam, I have undertaken 3 visits to Tanzania as
a technical expert in cartography. This has involved a review of
cartographic
facilities, cartographic training of staff and data collection for map
publication. This link also resulted in the production of several high
quality map publications in collaberation with Tanzanian cartographers.
These include a Visitors' Map of Dar es Salaam, map of Kilimanjaro
Region,
and campus maps of the University of Dar es Salaam, the Ardhi Institute
and the Muhimbili Medical Centre. On a lighter note I even managed to
climb
Mt.
Kilimanjaro, the "Roof of Africa" in Tanzania.
