Meet the Chui Ukulele, born from a collaboration b Meet the Chui Ukulele, born from a collaboration between Ukulele Safari and @ukulelemotu In Swahili, Chui means leopard. Like the leopard, this little ukulele may be small, but it is powerful, agile, and impossible to ignore. Its strong voice and bold character make it stand out wherever it goes. Even better, every Chui Ukulele purchased helps make music accessible to children in Kenya. For each Chui sold, we will either donate a ukulele or provide music lessons to a child. A big thank you to Sylvain from Motu Ukulele for believing in this project and helping turn this dream into reality. Get one today!

I love Elephants. Their gentle hearts, deep wisdo I love Elephants. Their gentle hearts, deep wisdom and quiet strength give me peace. There is something magical about these creatures. I could watch them for hours. Which chord progression would you play for an Elephant? #ukulelesafari #eleohantlove #wildrhythms #struminthewild #ukuleleretreat #ukuleleinkenya

Hidden quietly inside the photo hide in Samburu, w Hidden quietly inside the photo hide in Samburu, we found ourselves just meters away from a herd of elephants — so close you could hear the splash of water, the rustle of ears, the soft rumbles of communication. Look at the young one, carefree and full of joy, playing in the water like it was the best day of its life. And maybe it was. During our Ukulele Safari 2025, we’ll visit not one, but two incredible photo hides — one in Samburu and one in Lumo Conservancy. This is where music begins — not in a studio, but in the stillness of nature, in the joy of a baby elephant, in the magic of the wild. Let's make this happen. Again. 🎶✨ #UkuleleSafari #SamburuMagic #PhotoHideWonder #ElephantsAndMelodies #MusicInTheWild #KenyaUnplugged #InspiredByNature
🎶 "Imagine a guitar… imagine a piano…" That’s how 🎶 "Imagine a guitar… imagine a piano…" That’s how music was being taught in some public schools in Kenya — not with instruments in hand, but with words and imagination alone. Can you picture that? No strings to strum. No keys to press. Just dreams. But dreams are powerful. Thanks to Ukulele Safari, and our incredible supporters over 105 children now hold real instruments in their hands. They're not just imagining music — they’re making it. Feeling it. Living it. Let's make this happen again. #UkuleleSafari #MusicForChange #InstrumentsNotImagination #KenyaMusicEducation #GiveThemMusic #HopeInHarmony #magicalkenya #ukuleleretreat #travelwithpurpose

We will cook their traditional meal, transform Sisal leaves in ropes and join them in the vibrant Mwazindika ceremony, dancing to the hypnotic rhythm of the drums.

Lions are apex predators, second in size only to t Lions are apex predators, second in size only to the tiger (not found in Africa...). They hunt a wide range of prey but Their primary targets are medium to large-sized hoofed animals like wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes. While lionesses in open savannas typically do most of the hunting, Males are also skilled hunters, especially in scrub or wooded areas, and nomadic males hunt for themselves. Here this male lion in Samburu is eating a Warthog. #UkuleleSafari #Samburu #Kenya #TravelAfrica #MusicTravel #SpecialFive #AdventureTime #magicalkenya #ukuleleretreat2025 #ukuleleimprovisation

This year we're heading to Samburu National Reserv This year we're heading to Samburu National Reserve, where lions rest in the shade and wildlife moves through open spaces. During the day, we spend time in nature, watching and listening. In the evening, we gather under the stars with our ukuleles, letting the day’s moments guide our music. It’s a quiet mix of travel, nature, and shared creativity — a simple way to connect with the land and each other." #UkuleleTravel #ukuleleretreat #UkuleleSafari #UkuleleAdventure #TravelWithUkulele #UkuleleCommunity #UkuleleLife #UkuleleInNature #MusicAndTravel #KenyaSafariExperience #PlayUkuleleEverywhere

      Many schools in Kenya offer music lessons, but children have no instruments. We have created this Ukulele Safari line to raise funds to purchase Ukuleles for these children or pay salaries to music teachers. Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn and enjoy music. Stay tuned! Dismiss
