John Cairo? Antonio Xavier Mogadishu?

Probably in the western part of Africa someplace. I am going to guess Brazzaville...but I am not familiar with European Explorers outside of big ones like Da Gama and Cabral and Magellan and those guys.

You can have Brazzaville then and I will guess Windhoek. For Heinrich Windhoek maybe.

Fair - I thought I'd carved it out by specifying explorer but it's named after a voortrekker/settler so maybe not specific enough :hmm:

Edit: (I was obsessed with capital cities as a kid and have a weird amount of residual useless trivia :lol:)
