Exploration was limited because there were no rivers on which to travel into the interior​

Answer 1

Exploration was limited.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unique geographical disposition of South Africa had a large impact on the movements of Europeans that arrived at the southern tip of the African continent.

Since there were no roads or railroads, the explorers generally relied on waterways to navigate and penetrate deep into the interiors of continents. In South Africa this was impossible because of the intermittent nature of the rivers and great size and flow variation between the dry season and the wet season.
