Livingstone Memorial, Memorial in Chitambo District, Zambia
The stone monument stands 6 meters high, constructed from burnt brick with cement plaster and features four bronze plaques at its base.
Built in 1899, the memorial marks where explorer David Livingstone died in 1873, with his heart buried beneath a mpundu tree by his attendants.
The memorial represents the intersection of European exploration and African history, with inscriptions in multiple languages documenting this cultural exchange.
Visitors can reach the memorial via a 30-kilometer gravel road from the Serenje-Samfya highway, with a guestbook available at the village health center.
Four bronze plaques adorn the monument, including one added in 1973 commemorating a centennial gathering led by Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda.
