While a secondary source, Lovers on the Nile (about the Bakers) is well worth reading. |

Not a memoir, but "David Livingston and the Victorian Encounter with Africa" might be worth a look. |

"The diary of A J Mounteney Jephson" ,edited by Dorothy Middleton. This is indeed a diary with daily entries including such things as unusual things he ate (boiled ants with salt and pepper) and the steerability of native canoes (poor). Jephson was a pretty typical Victorian explorer who accompanied Stanley on the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in 1887-89. |
