I love monkeys, but the Red Colobus monkeys on Zanzibar are the cutest I’ve seen in the wild – non-aggressive and playful, with vivid red backs and plenty of feisty youngsters tumbling through the branches. The second troupe we came across got really curious and gradually moved towards us, until one of the teenagers got so close as to touch my umbrella. The best part of the first encounter we had – at that stage accompanied by a huge group of Brit tourists – was watching the monkeys nonchalantly relieving themselves on the tourists below. No, that ‘dripping’ is not rain…
