Exploration ideas for Ethiopia?

[Shinkuro Yukinari]

Empty land around it if you conquer southwards, you can explore into Africa and conquer the technologically inferior nations there, is it a good idea to take Exploration for Ethiopia?
I am considering it after Defensive and Religious

That, and securing East and South Africa for yourself before heading to Indonesia.

 

[Bouchart]

It's better to use Exploration to get into South Africa and Indonesia first. It takes a long time before anyone bothers with the interior of Africa.

The Zanzibar trade node is extremely valuable and you'll want to direct trade there, and control South Africa so not so much trade leaks out.

I guess, Exploration is only worth it if you head for Soth America first to spawn Colonialism for you. Since Iberians often fail nowadays and the British need more time, you have good chances to spawn it in your realm. Means also, European nations, including Otto, will have a serious tech hit due to it. Tested this with Ming before, at one time some european nations will get their own CNs, but until it reach eastern Europe, it's quite some time.
