Africa was rich in natural resources that Europeans needed.
Reason: European industrial and commercial demands for resources (gold, diamonds, rubber, palm oil, minerals, etc.) drove the "Scramble for Africa." Rivers often blocked interior travel (cataracts), climate/disease discouraged many settlers, and Africa's size was not used to resettle European populations.
