The site where the immortal words, ‘Dr Livingstone, I presume?’ were uttered by Stanley on meeting Livingstone in 1871 is commemorated by a stark grey, half-collapsed monument inside a chain-link fence. The two mango trees here (two others died) are said to have been grafted from the original tree that shaded the two men during their encounter.
Down below, and part of the same complex, the Livingstone Memorial Museum holds little more than a few prints about the East African slave trade, a few paintings by local artists and papier-mache replicas of the two men. The steep admission fee makes the complex only worth a visit if you really love the Livingstone and Stanley story.
