The title here gives it all away: this is a depiction of the human slave trade in east Africa around the time it was becoming abolished (according to the narration), circa 1884. This picture followed in the wake of the phenomenal "Roots" TV mini-series of '77, along with other international productions of the period, such as "Ashanti." It's not very well known by this time and barely seen anywhere, an example of exploiting the slavery angle prevalent during the seventies, but seemingly based on historical fact. The movie utilizes well-known actors who have been around for a long time (Trevor Howard, Ray Milland) and TV's Tarzan (Ron Ely) as the nominal hero, who starts out as a typical bigot of that era but progresses to sympathetic status near the conclusion. Most of the plot has to do with competing slavers fighting over the dwindling slave trade; this trade is technically outlawed by this point, but continues under those unwilling to give it up (it's highly profitable, after all). There's a central set piece of a slaver's home base invaded by servants of a competitor, for example, resulting in some bloody violence.
