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.

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."

It's common to feel apprehensive about flying or other means of travel. Fear can be a powerful barrier, holding us back from exploring the world.
Stepping out of your comfort zone and facing your travel fears can bring immense joy, new friendships, and a deeper connection with nature, enriching your life in ways you never imagined.

It's easy to tell ourselves we're too busy to travel. Work, responsibilities, and daily routines can make it seem impossible to carve out time for adventure. But if you think about it, our time on this planet is short, and we need to make the best of it.

Traveling to Africa and experiencing the journey you've always dreamed of shouldn't be postponed.

Don't let the excuse of being too busy hold you back. Make the time, and you'll find that the experiences and memories are worth every moment spent away from your routine. 🌟🌍🦁

Often, the fear of travelling alone can disguise itself as the excuse, "I don't have anyone to travel with." This excuse can hold us back from starting incredible adventures. But travelling solo offers unique opportunities to grow and connect.

We often let fear disguise itself as practical excuses, stopping us from seeing the world. "It's too pricey," "I’m too busy," or "Maybe one day" are common refrains. But these barriers prevent us from realizing our dreams and discovering the wonders beyond our comfort zone.

Going to Africa and living the adventure you’ve always dreamed of shouldn’t remain a far-off fantasy. The vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and extraordinary encounters with wildlife are within your grasp. Stepping into the unknown, forging new friendships, and connecting deeply with nature are experiences that enrich your life in ways you never thought possible. 🌍✨😊

The cheetah, the fastest land animal, embodies spe

The cheetah, the fastest land animal, embodies speed and grace. With its sleek, slender body and powerful legs, it can reach speeds of up to 60-70 miles per hour in short bursts. This incredible velocity helps the cheetah hunt its prey with precision and agility.

Did you know Cheetahs are classified as "vulnerable" on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species? This means they face a significant risk of extinction in the wild. Their survival is threatened by habitat loss, prey reduction, illegal trade, human conflict, and low levels of genetic variation.

I once had the incredible opportunity to hug a cheetah at the Nairobi Orphanage. To my surprise, her fur was thick and coarse, and she was purring like a cat! Despite being so close that I feared she might rip off my face, she was actually very friendly and gentle.

In Nairobi, we have an animal orphanage where vulnerable animals are kept safe. Now is no longer possible to get too touch wild animals.

I strongly discourage anyone from having a wild animal as a pet or touching them in the wild. Let’s appreciate and respect wild animals by observing them in their natural habitat, doing what they do best: being wild. 🐆🌍

We often hold ourselves back from experiencing the world with excuses that mask our fears. "It's too expensive," "I don't have the time," or "Maybe someday" are common refrains.

But these excuses keep us from truly living our dreams and exploring the wonders that await us

Don’t let fear hold you back. Embrace the unknown, break free from the excuses, and embark on a journey that will leave you with memories, knowledge, and friendships.

One of the most profound experiences during our safari is the connection we form with local communities. We have the privilege of meeting the Taita dancers and witnessing the mesmerizing Mwazindika performance. This traditional ceremony serves as both a celebration and an exorcism, creating a truly immersive experience.

Participate in the dance, learn to play their drums, and feel the magic as the bells on the main performers' legs ring out. As the drums resonate with your heartbeat, the ceremony's power is said to drive away demons.
It's a genuine and unforgettable experience that celebrates the rich culture and traditions of the Taita people.

Experiencing the awe-inspiring lions in the wild i

Experiencing the awe-inspiring lions in the wild is a moment that will forever be etched in your soul. As you venture into the savannah, anticipation builds, and then, there they are—the kings of the wild, regal and powerful. These magnificent creatures are indifferent to our presence, vehicles, and cameras, moving with a grace and strength that commands respect.

The ultimate thrill? Hearing their deep, resonant roar echo across the plains. It's a sound that shakes you to your core, a primal call that connects you to the raw beauty of nature. This unforgettable experience is the epitome of what makes our safari so extraordinary. 🌅🦁

One of the highlights of our Ukulele Safari is the opportunity to visit several schools around Kenya where we've donated ukuleles over the years. Seeing the joy on the children's faces as we play songs together and teach them new chords is truly heartwarming.

Join us as we spread the love of music and connect with these incredible kids. Together, we can make a positive impact and share the universal language of music.

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
