From Wikipedia:

The Livingstone Memorial built in 1899 marks the spot where missionary explorer David Livingstone died on 1 May 1873 in Chief Chitambo’s village at Ilala near the edge of the Bangweulu Swamps in Zambia. His heart was buried there under a mpundu (also called mvula) tree by his loyal attendants Chuma, Suza Mniasere and Vchopere, before they departed for the coast carrying his body.[1] In their party was an Indian-educated African man named Jacob Wainwright who carved the inscription “LIVINGSTONE MAY 4 1873” and the names of the attendants on the tree.[2]
