Today the group will leave Moshi and civilization behind. They will enter Kilimanjaro National Park and check in at the Londorossi Gate located on the western side of Kilimanjaro. Their trek today will be along a little used track through the Montane forest. In places the vegetation is so untouched that it grows right across the trail. Perhaps Brian will get heckled by a Colobus Monkey? Kevin is probably complaining after brushing up against one of the stinging nettle plants. Their first camp is in the rain forest at Mti Mkubwa (Big Tree).

I have heard from a very good source that the reason this trail is over grown etc. and not used very often it because of the many many snakes in that area. As a side bar I have also been told that snakes don't like the cold and so at night try to get in the sleeping bags.
