Mount Longonot Expedition: Pilot Adventure Marks a Pulse Havens Good Start

A Successful Expedition at Mount Longonot Marks the Birth of Pulse Havens Tours

“Give us Lon­gonot 1.2…” that’s what every Pulse Haven’s Group client would tell you again and again. The mem­o­ries of 1^st March 2025 trip to the moun­tains was not only inter­est­ing but also mem­o­rable, thanks to friend­li­ness of the par­tak­ers. When Pulse Havens Group organ­ised the pilot adven­ture, every­one would fore­see an inter­est­ing year ahead. Need­less to say they’d want more and more of those. 

Between being a night owl and a morn­ing per­son, tour orga­niz­ers would tell you to be both, or none at all. Actu­al­ly, you don’t have a choice. We would make our way to pick up point in town, only to wait for clients for an hour or more. The sched­uled depar­ture from town aboard sin­gle-deck Toy­ota Coast­er was 6.30 am, though you know we’d leave town one and half hours lat­er. Well, I’m not real­ly com­plain­ing but do peo­ple real­ly keep time? 

Jour­ney along Waiya­ki Way will have you do fre­quent stopovers (Sal­ly and Queen will most cer­tain­ly want to see West­lands). It doesn’t end there- the organ­is­er also for­got to car­ry a nation­al iden­ti­ty card and would pick it along the way, save for protests from the trav­ellers. I don’t real­ly under­stand their wor­ry since View Point was mov­ing any­where. 

The real adven­ture began at Rift Val­ley View Point where breath-tak­ing views would be the first high­light of the day. For peo­ple who had not changed their pro­file pic­tures for a year and more, this was a per­fect oppor­tu­ni­ty. Nature is so beau­ti­ful: I can’t under­stand why you aren’t explor­ing yet. Oh, don’t get lost, we were head­ed to Mount Lon­gonot so let’s see how the day would go. 

Any slight trav­el out­side Nairo­bi gives you some relief, explor­ing nature makes it very per­fect and this is exact­ly why Pulse Havens Group is here to serve you. Our touch­down at Mount Lon­gonot Game Reserve was just slight­ly before 11a.m. By this time, every­one was dying to chal­lenge their fit­ness lev­el. This doesn’t apply to Dex­ter though. He runs in the city (not run­ning the city). 

In a marathon, there are pac­ers and chasers but in a hike, there are peo­ple yearn­ing to get to the top while oth­ers want to enjoy the expe­di­tion. You are either in the first cat­e­go­ry, or sec­ond though you’ll find Grace Gath­oni and Pamela in a dif­fer­ent cat­e­go­ry alto­geth­er. Go ahead, we’ll meet at the sum­mit. Eli­jah and Moses prob­a­bly thought there would be a con­fig­u­ra­tion. That’s why they had a per­fect climb- not so fast, not so slow.

Get­ting to Kilele Ngamia is not much of a has­sle (every­one does). Going around the rim is where things start to fall apart. Charleston talked about fin­ish­ing in three hours – well improb­a­ble yet there was belief. I won’t men­tion Farb did the round in almost four hours, and would bare­ly walk on the jour­ney down. 

If I have to give more details on the jour­ney down­hill, Queen will most def­i­nite­ly claim I told lies… Well, she had the most mem­o­ries. Imag­ine going on a hike then end­ing up being car­ried on the back? Tell me what that is if not prop­er cus­tomer ser­vice. Despite all that, the great­est moti­va­tion was food. That’s why Gerald’s patience grew thin­ner and thin­ner. 

In every class, there is that one qui­et stu­dent. Coun­sel Har­ri­son met the descrip­tion.  I don’t know if Coun­sel Muso­ma did too (he wasn’t qui­et, just tired). Hav­ing a lawyer say a few words is wor­ry­ing and Coun­sel Robert read the script. He occa­sion­al­ly sang along a fan­tas­tic playlist to keep every­one enter­tained. Event­ful adven­ture would come to an end as Nairo­bi was beck­on­ing once again. You might be won­der­ing why I did not men­tion the loud­est client Ian. He was every­where to give first-hand expe­ri­ence. Need­less to men­tion Simwa’s wor­ry­ing silence. 

The day view of nature is very beautiful…but have you tried a night view? When every­thing is qui­et except the hoot­ing by impa­tient dri­vers? Our own Sam­son Main­gi wasn’t one though. His ded­i­ca­tion in ensur­ing our safe­ty was befit­ting. One more view of the view point, but this time at night would sure­ly draw us clos­er to the city. By the time every­one alight­ed the Toy­ota Coast­er, so many mem­o­ries had been cre­at­ed. Our pio­neer adven­ture was an indi­ca­tion of a suc­cess­ful run, as Pulse Havens would set its foot into the adven­tures busi­ness forth­with.
