Passing the Canary Islands on July 15, the fleet reached São Tiago (Santiago) in the Cape Verde Islands on the 26th, remaining there until August 3. Then, lớn avoid the currents of the Gulf of Guinea, da Gama undertook a long detour through the South Atlantic before attempting khổng lồ round the Cape of Good Hope. The fleet reached Santa Helena cất cánh (in modern South Africa) on November 7. Unfavourable winds và the adverse current delayed the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope until November 22. Three days later domain authority Gama anchored in Mossel Bay, erected a padrão on an island, and ordered the storeship khổng lồ be broken up. Sailing again on December 8, the fleet reached the coast of Natal on Christmas Day. On January 11, 1498, it anchored for five days near the mouth of a small river between Natal & Mozambique, which they called the Rio vày Cobre (Copper River).

On March 2 the fleet reached the Island of Mozambique, the inhabitants of which believed the Portuguese lớn be Muslims like themselves. Da Gama learned that they traded with Arab merchants & that four Arab vessels laden with gold, jewels, silver, and spices were then in port; he was also told that Prester John, the long-sought Christian ruler, lived in the interior but held many coastal cities. The Sultan of Mozambique supplied domain authority Gama with two pilots, one of whom deserted when he discovered that the Portuguese were Christians.
The expedition reached Mombasa (now in Kenya) on April 7 và dropped anchor at Malindi (also now in Kenya) on April 14, where a Gujarati pilot who knew the route khổng lồ Calicut, on the southwest coast of India, was taken aboard. After a 23-day run across the Indian Ocean, the Ghats Mountains of India were sighted, and Calicut was reached on May 20. There domain authority Gama erected a padrão khổng lồ prove he had reached India. The welcome of the Zamorin, the Hindu ruler, of Calicut (then the most important trading centre of southern India), was dispelled by domain authority Gama’s insignificant gifts & rude behaviour. Domain authority Gama failed to lớn conclude a treaty—partly because of the hostility of Muslim merchants & partly because the trumpery presents and cheap trade goods that he had brought, while suited khổng lồ the West African trade, were hardly in demand in India. The Portuguese had mistakenly believed the Hindus khổng lồ be Christians.

After tension increased, da Gama left at the end of August, taking with him five or six Hindus so that King Manuel might learn about their customs. Ignorance and indifference to local knowledge had led domain authority Gama lớn choose the worst possible time of year for his departure, & he had to sail against the monsoon. He visited Anjidiv Island (near Goa) before sailing for Malindi, which he reached on January 8, 1499, after nearly three months crossing the Arabian Sea. Many of the crew died of scurvy. At Malindi, because of greatly reduced numbers, da Gama ordered the “São Rafael” lớn be burned; there he also erected a padrão. Mozambique, where he mix up his last padrão, was reached on February 1. On March trăng tròn the “São Gabriel” và “Berrio” rounded the Cape together but a month later were parted by a storm; the “Berrio” reached the Tagus River in Portugal on July 10. Da Gama, in the “São Gabriel,” continued lớn Terceira Island in the Azores, whence he is said to lớn have dispatched his flagship to Lisbon. He himself reached Lisbon on September 9 và made his triumphal entry nine days later, spending the interval mourning his brother Paulo, who had died on Terceira. (Out of da Gama’s original crew of 170, only 55 men had survived.) Manuel I granted da Gama the title of dom, an annual pension of 1,000 cruzados, & estates.
