The Heart of Darkness was a high-security prison for "vivimancers" in German East Africa from 1902-1918.

It was established by German Reichskommissar Gustav Adolf von Götzen and American President Theodore Roosevelt, both of whom were huge fans of the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Both had an interest in storing dangerous individuals far away from the cores of their empires, primarily those who were interested in giving sentience to non-human animals, plants, and fungi.

It was dismantled by mid-1919 by the new British government of Tanganyika led by Sir Horace Byatt, who thought sentient animals would be "jolly good."
