We couldn’t leave out the King.
Meet Simbass, a fusion of Simba (lion in Swahili and Bass)
This portable U-bass delivers the same deep, powerful tone as the king of the Savannah.
The difference?
It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, making it easy to take anywhere and conquer every stage with confidence.

You never forget your first love. The Tembo Ukulel

You never forget your first love.
The Tembo Ukulele, named after the Swahili word for “Elephant” was the first in our collection and still my favourite. Easy to carry, easy to play and with a unique look you’ll never forget.

Meet the Dik Dik.

Small enough to fit in your palm. Loud enough to fill the room.

Just like the real dik-dik, one of Africa’s tiniest antelopes, this ukulele defies its size. Dik-diks stand barely 40cm tall, yet their alarm call cuts through the entire savannah.

Ours does the same to a room full of silence.
And here’s the best part: dik-diks mate for life, never straying more than a few feet from their partner.

This ukulele is built for the same kind of loyalty, the one instrument that stays by your side, wherever the road takes you.
Tiny. Fierce. Always with you.
Dik Dik, the ukulelino that never leaves your side

A leopard doesn’t need to roar to be noticed. It moves with confidence, curiosity, and a quiet kind of beauty.

That’s exactly what the Chui ukulele reminds me of. Light, elegant, and full of character, it’s an instrument that stands out without trying too hard. Like its namesake, it has its own unique personality and leaves a lasting impression.

I’m happy to share that the Chui is now available on the Motu website. If you’ve been curious about it, now is the perfect time to take a look.

With every purchase one ukulele or one music lesson is shared with children in Kenya helping music grow where it begins.

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 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

This year’s Ukulele Safari – the special “Birthday

This year’s Ukulele Safari – the special “Birthday Edition” – took us on an unforgettable journey through the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Nairobi National Park, Kitengela Glass Factory, Soroi Lions Bluff Lodge, and Ol Pejeta.

Incredible company, inspiring places, and the perfect way to celebrate my half-century – in the wild, doing what I love most.

Thank you all! See you next year for more music and adventure!

On our next Ukulele Safari, we’ll have the honor of visiting this incredible place — carrying music into the heart of conservation. 🎶🌿

If you could play just one song for the elephants, what would it be? 🎵💭

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.
