A Scotsman, an explorer and an evangelist/ missionary.

He "discovered"* parts of Africa in his quest to find the source of the Nile River.

*Discovered is used loosely, as the indigenous peoples of the area were already living in most of the areas he explored; more correctly he was the first European explorer to visit these places, record and report back on his findings.

He wanted to stop poverty and slavery in Africa. He thought he could do this by introducing Cristianity and encouraging them to trade with Europe. He ended up exploring Africa's interior and discovering the Victoria Falls. He also attended to their medical problems, as he was a doctor. He treated thousands of Africans against Polio.
