David Livingstone died in Chief Chitambo's village in present-day Zambia in 1873, and his heart was buried there under a mpundu tree before his body was carried to the coast for shipment to Westminster Abbey — a journey of roughly 1,500 miles on foot. Tanzania's interest in commemorating him is geographic rather than sentimental: much of his later exploration, including his search for the Nile's source, was conducted across what is now Tanzanian territory.
