Explanation

Bartolomeu Dias was the Portuguese explorer who first rounded the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa in 1488, proving that the Atlantic and Indian Oceans were connected. This was a crucial milestone in finding a sea route to Asia. He was not associated with Victoria Falls or the Nile source - those were explored by others like David Livingstone centuries later.
