About Sámuel Teleki
Count Sámuel Teleki de Szék was a Hungarian noble and explorer who led the first expedition to Northern Kenya. He was the first European to see Lake Turkana and to explore above the snow line of the peaks of Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. Several geographical features in East Africa are named after him including Teleki's Volcano at the southern end of Turkana, and Teleki's valley on Mount Kenya. A number of plant and animal specimens were collected on his expedition and many new species were named in his honour.
