The Adventures of Three Russians and Three Englishmen in South Africa (French: Aventures de trois Russes et de trois Anglais dans l'Afrique australe) is a novel by Jules Verne published in 1872.

[1] Three Russian and three English scientists depart to South Africa to measure the 24th meridian east.

[2] As their mission is proceeding, the Crimean War breaks out, and the members of the expedition find themselves citizens of enemy countries.

Interestingly, the travelers, on their homeward journey, reach Victoria Falls on 25 May 1855, thus anticipating the discovery by David Livingstone by nearly six months.

[3][4] In 1874 it was also published as the first half of a two-part volume entitled, Stories of Adventure along with Journey to the Center of the Earth.
