Memories are precious moments created in space and time.

Ukulele Safari it s not just a trip to Africa.
It s an immersion into nature and culture, it s a bonding experience connected by our love for life and music.

What an amazing morning we had observing this big Elephant.
He made clear to us who was in charge and we quietly moved away.

This song is all wrong.
Lions in fact, like the majority of cats, sleep during the day.
Also I m not sure there are lions in the jungle as they live in the savannah. 😅

During our safari, we encountered many lions, some sleepy, some very much awake.

Admiring lions in their natural habitat is one of the most interesting things I have ever experienced. And their call is so deep and magical that it literally shakes your soul!

Have you ever been close to a lion roaring? 🦁

After a delicious picnic breakfast we played a song 🎵 with this spectacular view of endless savannah, we decided to stop when a buffalo 🐃 in love with our music appeared in the background 🤣

My students (the teachers) performed with the kids their song.

It was truly emotional.

I look forward to some more random songs, possibly animal based.

Armed with a slingshot and seedballs our daily adventure in Lumo Conservancy brought us to open plains where we could launch our seedballs.

Seeds are coated in a nutrient rich clay shell that protects them until conditions are right for germination.

What a surprise to discover that Paul, one of my students from Mwashoti School has created a song to welcome us.

No words can describe how proud I felt.

We had given some ukuleles with the first Ukulele Safari and brought some more this year, together with School supplies and soccer balls.

Thank you again for your generosity.

We are deeply grateful to all the generous donors

We are deeply grateful to all the generous donors who contributed to our campaign, allowing us to purchase ukuleles for children in Kenya.

Our first stop was the Assured Knowledge Academy, where we had the privilege of donating 20 ukuleles – 10 for the students there and 10 more for the Brilliance School Academy, where Mr. January also teaches.

The children's joyful performance of a song touched our hearts, and we were delighted to conduct a small workshop, teaching them the amazing composition crafted specially for them by Boris. It was a truly heartwarming experience.

If you were one of the kind souls who participated in our fundraising effort, please leave a comment below.

Your support made this incredible initiative possible, and we cannot thank you enough for your generosity.

Monkey business.
Even if we got warned about the monkeys I did not expect such elaborate plan.

I watched this video 10000 times and laughed every time.

The Arrival!

Tremendous Emotions!

Though I've met Angela, Melinda and Boris before, it's always such a wonderful feeling seeing them again.

Next...the monkey business and the giraffe tongue.

Stay tuned!

Thank you to everyone who has purchased Tembo.🥰💜

This is my first time teaching ukulele and my stud

This is my first time teaching ukulele and my students are the amazing teachers of Latika Primary school and Mwashoti school.

The goal is to give them enough knowledge to pass on the power of music to their students.

It's been full of challenges. Most have never held an instrument before, they lack practice time at home and don't have access to computer or internet.

But their commitment shines through!

Every week they faithfully come to my workplace to learn a few new chords!

Now I want to motivate them even more, and that's where YOU come in! 😀

I m inviting you to join our musical chain.

Film yourself singing and playing our song and share it online with #joyfulstrings and tag @ukulelesafari

I ll edit all the videos together to show my students tangible proof of music's power! 🎵🎶

Follow my video to keep the same timing or, if feeling inspired, do a solo version, rock, spanish, fingerstyle, rap, anything goes!

However you contribute let's flood social media with uplifting sounds.

With every voice we ll spread more joy through music's unmatched power.

Who is with me? #joyfulstrings 🥰
