Yes Catrynn, this is the monument and memorial, where they have buried Dr. David Livingstones heart under a tree after he had died there in the Bangweulu Swamps, while searching for the source of the river Nile. He did not know that he was wrong there, because the Bangweulu Swamps are part of the headwaters of the river Congo. Thank you for your reply to the photo!
