The Livingston-Stanley Monument in Kanyosha, Bujumbura Rural, Burundi, marks the historic meeting between explorers David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley. This significant landmark can be accessed via a short drive from Bujumbura, the country's largest city, making it relatively easy to reach either by private car or local taxi. It is advisable to visit as part of a guided tour to gain insightful historical context and ensure a smooth experience. The monument is best visited during Burundi’s dry season, from June to September, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor exploration. Allow about 1-2 hours for your visit, which can often be combined with nearby attractions. Entrance fees are generally minimal, but additional costs may apply for guided tours. Be sure to check the local situation concerning travel advisories or necessary permits before heading there.
