Francis Harold Watson aka Frank 'Zambezi' Watson (1854–1905) was a British traveller, hunter and trader.[1]
Watson's first expedition to 'Zambezia' was in 1873 and he subsequently made other journeys to the region, as trader and hunter. He formed a close friendship with Frederick Selous on these trips, and became a business partner of a certain George Westbeech. On an expedition to the Victoria Falls in 1891, he took the first known photographs of the falls and gorges.[2] These photographs are now stored in the Zimbabwe State Archives.[3]
