This monument, known as the Livingstone Rock is located just 8 miles outside Bujumbura, capital of Burundi.
According to www.burundi-tourism.com this rock is to remember the famous meeting between explorer Dr Livingstone and reporter Stanley in 1871. The latter spoke the famous words: "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”.
But others sources state that the famous meeting took place a little earlier that year in Tanzania. Described clearly in Stanley's book "How I Found Livingstone".
