The mind behind it

Founder · Ukulele Safari

Michela

The person bringing the wildlife, music and people of Ukulele Safari together.

How it began

Ukulele Safari grew from a simple idea: what if a safari had a soundtrack of its own?

By day, we explore Kenya’s wildlife. In the evenings, we pick up our instruments and turn the day’s moments into music — a shared musical safari diary.

I want everyone to feel welcome, whether you’re learning your first chord, bringing years of music with you, or coming along for the love of nature and good company.
