Sidi Mubarak Bombay (a.k.a. Mbarak Mombée, 1820?-1885) by Racoon(m): 1:38pm On Aug 15, 2023 |
Sidi Mubarak Bombay, one of the most extensive travelers in sub-Saharan Africa in the 19th century, was honored for his assistance to British explorers and adventurers. Bombay, of waYao/Bantu ethnicity, was born in the Ruvuma Region of southern Tanzania around 1820. Separated from his parents at age 12 and taken into slavery by Arab slavers, he was eventually transported to Gugurat, India. After spending two decades enslaved in India, the death of his owner freed Bombay and allowed him to return to his African homeland.https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/sidi-mubarak-bombay-a-k-a-mbarak-mombee-1820-1885/ nlfpmod

It has been estimated that as an explorer Bombay tallied more than 9,600 land miles through the interior of Africa and possibly sailed a greater number of nautical miles in the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and waters along coastal Africa. 1 Like |
