A massive inscribed stone at Mugere commemorates the journey of David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley along Lake Tanganyika.

The memorial at Mugere marks the spot where missionary David Livingstone and journalist Henry Morton Stanley stayed together during their expedition around Lake Tanganyika. Known locally in French as La Pierre de Livingstone et Stanley, the site overlooks the water south of Bujumbura, giving travellers direct access to historical landmarks outside the former capital.

Local tradition often associates the grounds with Stanley speaking his famous greeting to Livingstone, although historical records place their original meeting elsewhere. Visitors reaching the perimeter find a quiet hillside setting that contrasts with the busy urban core of Bujumbura, making the location a standard stop for anyone researching regional colonial history.
