If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the famous lions in the trees. The park is very narrow, wedged between the lake and the cliffs of the Rift Valley.

  9. DAY 9: ZANZIBAR ISLAND

    Free day on the beach of Zanzibar.

    There are plenty of activities on offer: diving, kite surfing, snorkelling, boating, quad biking, etc.

    Zanzibar certainly conjures up images of the legendary spice trading post of yesteryear. Arab merchants, and in particular the Sultan of Oman, were quick to see the potential of its fertile land and advantageous geographical location.
    Ivory and slaves from the African continent also made this trading post rich.
    Today, Zanzibar is best known for its white sandy beaches, dolphins and comfortable hotels. Tourism has developed a great deal, especially in the last 15 years, but Zanzibar and above all its inhabitants still live at a pace and in a culture completely different from the rest of the world.
