Lauren Miolene
We’ve all been to dozens of kids birthday parties , and we can probably agree they get repetitive quickly. That's why it’s always best to have a fun and exciting theme to make it stand out from the rest. If you’ve ever thought about hosting a safari themed birthday party, take this as your sign to get adventurous!
If your kiddo’s birthday is soon, take a walk on the wild side this year by hosting a safari themed birthday party using creative ideas from The Bash. Start with an outdoor venue, live animals, and of course plenty of safari inspired food and drinks. Use our handy kids birthday party checklist as a guide, so you don’t miss a thing.

Safari themed venue.
You’ll want to establish a home base for this safari themed birthday party. We recommend keeping the festivities outside to enhance the adventurous setting.
Having the safari themed birthday outside just makes sense, so take the party to the park! Visit your local park that has plenty of tables, a pavilion, and a play area to celebrate the guest of honor. The park is also the perfect location so guests have ample space to run around and play.
You can never go wrong by hosting your child’s birthday party in your own backyard with the fresh air and sunlight. Sometimes the comfort of your own home makes the best party venue for everyone. Spend the day outside and easily transition the get-together inside depending on the weather.
If your child is an animal lover, organize this birthday bash at the zoo. Contact zoos in your area to set up a tour with different event packages. Visit different website to read about animal interactions, a private party space, and other fun surprises.
Safari Theme Party Outfit
You’re probably wondering what to wear for a safari themed party, and the answer is all in the details!
Safari Hats
Invite guests to bring their dress up safari hats or take a trip to your local party store to distribute at the celebration. Your child and their friends will love this special touch that will get them into the safari spirit and provide additional protection from the sun. This creative touch also doubles as a party favor!
Animal Print, Camouflage, and Neutrals
Tap into the adventure for this safari theme with animal print, camouflage clothing, or neutral colors. Ask parents to dress their kiddos in these wild prints to help complete the safari aesthetic.
Safari Vests
To feel the part, guests will have to look the part. Stock up on children’s safari vests from Amazon so everyone can look like a wildlife explorer. These vests come complete with badges, patches, and plenty of pockets to keep some extra goodies in.
To complete any safari ensemble, you’ll need a set of binoculars. Of course guests can bring their own pair if they have them, but you can also distribute them in goodie bags so they can be used during the party. Shop binocular party favors on Amazon so everyone can have their own set.
Safari Theme Party Entertainment
These safari theme party entertainment ideas are guaranteed to bring a roaring good time.
Live Animals
This safari party requires animals, we don’t make the rules! Take a look on The Bash for live animals that can make a special appearance at the birthday celebration. Communicate with different animal handlers to decide which types of animals make the most sense for the faux-safari party. Choose from monkeys, reptiles, and much more!
Find Live Animals
Bounce House
The kids will feel like queens and kings of the jungle with an epic bounce house at the celebration. Browse various party inflatables including obstacle courses and waterslides that will match the safari themed birthday party. Jumping like kangaroos all day is the perfect way to release some of their energy.
Find Bounce Houses
Let the kids (and adults) unleash their inner animals by transforming them into their favorites! Face paint artists on The Bash use non-toxic paint to turn guests into safari creatures like lions, and tigers, and bears—oh my!
Find Face Painters
Photo Booth
A photo booth is exactly what this party needs to help create the safari feeling. Rent a photo booth for the day that will provide safari themed backdrops and props for an immersive wildlife experience.
Find Photo Booths
Allow the kids the opportunity to try different foods from various types of carts. From cotton pizza, to snow cones, and even donuts, party guests will love the freedom of choosing their own party food. Book your child’s favorites on The Bash.
Find Food Carts
Safari Theme Party Activities
Incorporate these safari theme party activities that will keep guests of all ages occupied and entertained.
You’ll need some sort of transportation for this safari adventure! Charge up your child’s mini trucks and cars, or shop safari vehicles on Amazon for guests to drive around the yard in. Block off an area with plenty of space so parents can keep an eye on the little ones.
Animal Charades
Put everyone’s acting skills to the test! A few rounds of animal charades is the perfect activity for this safari themed birthday party. Write various safari animals on a piece of paper for guests to randomly choose and act out. Their friends will have a ton of fun guessing and laughing about what animal they are.
Scavenger Hunt
Send the little explorers on a safari themed expedition during the party. Break everyone into groups, give them riddles to solve, and watch as they follow along to find the prize. You can keep this activity safari themed, but any type of scavenger hunt will work.
Outdoor Activities
Hosting your party outside means there will be plenty of space for all kinds of games and activities. Set up stations with things you probably already have like hula hoops, jump ropes, and other fun yard games that will keep everyone occupied.
Safari Theme Party Decorations
Get wild with these safari theme party decorations that will make this birthday extra special.
Any birthday party, especially a kid’s, needs balloons! Balloons are one of the best decor options because they are fairly easy to purchase or even assemble yourself. For this safari theme, use various shades of brown, green, and orange, or any other color you might find in the wild. You can also get balloons shaped like typical safari animals to incorporate. Details like this will help bring the wild theme to life!
Pro tip: Hire an event planner through The Bash that is an expert in assembling unique balloon arrangements.
Stuffed Animals
The key for any event decor is to make use of things you might already have. Incorporate your child's stuffed animals throughout the space to capture the safari theme. Find jumbo size plush animals including tigers, giraffes, and elephants that everyone will want to get a picture with.
One of the best places to incorporate themed decor for an outdoor party is on the tables. Whether you decide on multiple small tables or one large one, incorporate animal inspired tableware for guests to use. Shop animal print utensils , napkins, and tablecloths that will make the celebration pop.
For this safari, you can also use details like vines, pampas grass, and compasses for a wild dining experience.
Any experienced explorer most likely spends the majority of their time in a tent. Play into the safari theme by setting up tents in the outdoor space for a backdrop. Arrange a few blankets, pillows, and small activities like coloring books that will help keep everyone entertained.
Safari Theme Party Food and Drinks
Make sure there is plenty of fuel for the explorers at the safari themed birthday party.
Safari Themed Birthday Cake
You’re going to want to incorporate the safari theme into every party detail, including the cake. Place an order from your favorite bakery ahead of time to ensure there will be plenty of sugary animals, fake vines, and other wild accents on the birthday cake.
Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets
Who says dinosaurs can’t be invited to the safari party? Chicken nuggets are one of the most loved kid’s foods that are easy to make because all you have to do is pop them in the oven! Serve with different sauces, french fries, and maybe some broccoli trees.
It’s important that a safari explorer keeps plenty of snacks on hand that are easy to travel with, for example, trail mix. Make your own by purchasing a variety of nuts, dried fruit, and small candies. You can also set up a trail mix bar including separate ingredients so guests can make their own take home bag.
This dessert is a delicious DIY treat! All you’ll need to do is add crushed Oreos, gummy worms, and candy rocks on the top of a pudding cup to look like mud. If you don’t prepare these beforehand, kids will love decorating and customizing their own.
Ants on a Log
One of the best snacks for kids usually incorporates them being hiddenly healthy. Make a childhood classic of ants on a log that will help fuel the little explorers during the safari themed birthday party. All this classic entails is spreading peanut butter on a celery stick, and topping with raisins. This snack is easy to customize because you can easily swap the peanut butter with hummus in case of any allergies.
“Jungle Juice”
Whip up a big batch of kid-friendly jungle juice to quench everyone’s thirst. Add any ingredients you want; fruit juice, Gatorade, fresh juice, soda, the possibilities are endless. Serve in a beverage dispenser with a spout so kids will be able to easily refill their canteens. For an adults only drink, try adding champagne for a delicious and fruity mimosa.
Animal Crackers
Who doesn’t love animal crackers? Arrange a platter of plain and frosted animal crackers with different types of dessert dip. Guests will enjoy this sweet treat by dipping their cookie in edible brownie batter, cookie dough, and cheesecake dip.
Banana Splits
This safari themed birthday party will make everyone go absolutely bananas! Your child and their friends will love a homemade banana split that is the perfect treat to end the day.
Safari Themed Party Favors
You’ll definitely want to toss a few of these safari themed party favors into everyone’s goodie bags.
Custom Canteens
Once everyone RSVPs and the guest list is complete, place an Etsy order for customized canteens with everyone’s name. Kids will love having their own custom canteen to drink out of and make them feel like they are on a real safari.
Animal Bubbles
Little kids love bubbles, so give them their own to play with! Find animal inspired bubble bottles on Amazon for guests to use during and after the party.
Animal Ears
Once the face painter turns the kids into their favorite animals, give them ears to match. Visit your local party store or place an online order for lion ears, tigers, giraffes, and more. Try to stock up on a variety so everyone can choose what animal they want to be.
1st Birthday Safari Theme Party: Wild One
Turning one year old is wild! That’s why “Wild One” is such a popular first birthday party theme. You can easily incorporate these same safari ideas into this milestone occasion, but you’re not going to want to forget these details.
If you’ve seen kiddos go wild and destroy their gorgeous birthday cake, that’s exactly why smash cakes have become popular. Smash cakes are typically a smaller, homemade cake specially made for the guest of honor. After the proud parents help blow out the candle, let the one year old celebrate their special day with their own cake. It’s completely up to them if they play with it or eat it, but this way it saves plenty of birthday cake for the other guests to enjoy.
Photographer
A first birthday only happens once, so you’re going to want to remember it forever. Hire a photographer to capture every detail: the decor, the cake, and of course all the smiling faces in attendance! Miss no photo opportunity with our helpful 1st birthday picture list for ideas.
Photo Backdrop
You’re only going to be able to host a “wild one” themed birthday for your baby once, so make a photo backdrop for plenty of pictures. Create your own using a safari background, plush animals, and a big metallic “1” balloon. This backdrop will also act as a focal point in the party space.

Go On a Wild Adventure with These Safari Theme Party Ideas
For a little explorer, there’s simply no better way to celebrate than a safari theme party. Whether you’re hosting a 1st birthday party or a birthday slumber party for tweens, it’s a theme that you can really bring to life with impressive decor, styling, and treats.
If you’re ready to host one of the best safari or jungle theme party events of the year, we’re here to help. Get inspiration for your safari theme party with these decor, food, activity, and invitation ideas.
10 Adventurous Safari Theme Party Ideas
Design: Noonday Design
You can really go wild with a safari theme party and transform your space into something magical. Here are some of our favorite safari theme party ideas for decor, activities, food, favors, and more.
1. Make It a Costume Party
If you’re inviting lots of wild ones along to your safari theme party, this is a must-have. Take your birthday party idea to the next level by turning it into a costume party.
Ask your party animals to join you dressed up as their favorite zoo animal or safari creature. Keep it open and let them choose their own costume, or ask people to take an everyday T-shirt and customize it with animal prints or designs to show off their creativity.
2. Host a Safari-Themed Sleepover Party
We love a sleepover or slumber party , and it feels like this is one of those themes that’s perfect for it. Celebrate an animal birthday or safari get-together by asking your guests to stay overnight and stay up late.
Transform your living space or bedroom into a safari camp with beautifully styled mini tents, or ask people to bring along a sleeping bag for a more rustic feel. Add some themed party decor like balloon garlands, strings of faux leaves, or animal cutouts to really enhance the experience.
3. Go Wild with Animal Print
What better excuse than a safari theme party to go a little over the top with animal print birthday party decorations? There’s something fun about layering plenty of prints together to create a zany, unique take on the jungle party theme.
Look for tableware, table covers, party plates, and more safari theme party supplies that heavily feature animal print. Keep it all to one type — like leopard print — or mix in some zebra or giraffe print for a more eclectic look.
4. Transform Your Space into a Jungle
This idea takes a little more planning and plenty of safari party supplies, but it’s well worth it for a special birthday or occasion.
Layer hanging backdrops filled with palm leaves or tree-themed fabric, and hang earth-toned balloons, cutouts, or decorations from your ceiling. Invest in some color-changing bulbs to add a cozy glow or create a sunset effect, and add natural textiles and animal decorations to complete the look.
5. Fill Your Party Venue with Jungle Safari Animals
When it comes to planning the ultimate safari theme party, you can’t go wrong with plenty of jungle animals. Whether you fill the space with them, or hide them around as a fun mini game for the kids, it’s a super fun way to bring the theme to life.
Use animal cutouts to create an adorable photo booth area, or feature tiny toy jungle animals as part of a themed centerpiece or table decoration. How and where you display the animals is up to you, but it wouldn’t be a safari theme party without them.
6. Host a Jungle Obstacle Course
Design: Claudia Owen
If you’re looking for something to tire out your wild ones, a jungle-themed obstacle course is a wonderfully interactive idea. It’s an ideal activity for kids of all ages, and you can tailor it to your theme, group, or event type.
You can create your own obstacle course using everyday objects like couch cushions or hula hoops, or invest in an inflatable obstacle course for a big milestone birthday celebration. However you choose to do it, this is a great way to use up some of that energy ahead of cake time.
7. Set Up a DIY Crafting Area
Create a space where younger guests can relax (and still be creative) with a crafting area. Set up a party table somewhere away from the noise and offer your guests fun ways to engage in themed crafts. Download printable animal coloring pages, or find the instructions and materials for a DIY safari craft for kids . It’s a sweet way to offer a place to calm down while still having plenty of fun.
8. Splash Out on a Safari Theme Birthday Cake
If you’re putting on a safari theme party for a birthday celebration, you’ll need a cake that fits the occasion. Whether you opt for an expertly baked masterpiece or a homemade treasure with an adorable cake topper, it’s sure to be one of the guests’ highlights.
You can take a jungle theme cake in a variety of directions. Choose a simple sponge cake and add a personalized cake topper, or go minimal and stylish with a giant palm leaf design. Think about what the guest of honor would love to see as you all sing “happy birthday.”
9. Give Your Birthday Buffet a Safari Theme Twist
Buffets are great for a kids’ birthday party because people can pick their favorite snacks and treats without too much going to waste. It’s perfect for those picky little eaters who just want to fill a plate with cheese, crackers, or cocktail sausages.
To liven up your birthday buffet, give your foods a safari twist. These monkey sandwiches are adorable, and this giraffe cake dessert board is a gorgeous way to get your guests enjoying lots of fresh fruit. For snacks, a jungle safari trail mix is easy to make and works great as a sleepover midnight treat.
10. Create Themed Party Favor Bags
Your safari theme party is turning out to be epic, so you’ll want party favors that live up to the same hype as your main event. Luckily, you can put together goodie bags that match this theme quickly, easily, and affordably.
Choose a favor bag or box with a safari theme or animal print design, then add in a few classic items like stickers, candy, and bubbles. For an extra treat, send your guests home with a safari animal cupcake or a personalized animal pencil or coloring set.

Or maybe their room looks like a wildlife refuge with all their ferocious stuffed safari animals.

Plan a journey to the wilderness… or to the backyard
You know that a safari theme birthday party would be perfect for your little animal lover—but what exactly does the party planning look like? There are a ton of exciting options to make this next birthday a special one, both at home or out in the wild. Here are some ideas to add a bit of adventure to your safari birthday party.
1. Visit a local zoo or wildlife center
Zookeepers actually make great party hosts, especially when they bring some of their furry (or scaled) friends for each guest to take a look at. Plus, they often have party rooms you can rent out where the explorers can enjoy safari snacks on-site.
2. Create a backyard safari
In many places, it’s possible to hire an exotic animal handler who will visit your home with their menagerie. Your little adventurer will never forget the birthday they hung out with a boa constrictor!
3. Plan a wild dress code
For your safari theme party idea, encourage guests to show up in animal masks, animal prints, or full-on costumes of their favorite beasts.
Due to the *nature* of a safari theme birthday party, there’s a good chance that it includes some kind of outdoor element. But what if the weather isn’t cooperative? Hardy adventurers won’t let a little rain or snow stop them… but it might stop your birthday plans. Luckily, there are plenty of fun safari activities you can plan for indoors.
4. Put on a movie
There are so many fun animal movies to choose from. Might we suggest “Madagascar,” “The Lion King,” or “The Jungle Book”?
5. Play some games
Whether you’re playing Monkey in the Middle or Sleeping Lions , plan some fun kids’ birthday party games to have everyone feeling like a true party animal, indoors or out.
6. Create some safari crafts
With a few simple party supplies, you can set up a safari craft station where your young guests can make their own artistic safari animals.
Safari-themed party supplies are available at Paperless Post Party Shop .
Decorations for a wild safari party.
Whether you’re hosting at home or elsewhere, you’ll want the venue to give off serious jungle vibes for your safari-themed party. Seek out garlands and streamers that look like vines, and balloons in varying shades of greens and browns. Some other decoration options to consider include the following.
7. A fun garland to set the mood
Set the mood by inspiring guests to Party like an animal with this decorative garland , featuring an elephant wearing a party hat.
8. An animal-shaped pinata
Fill this cheeta party pinata from Paperless Post Party Shop with treats for the kids to enjoy.
9. Creature-shaped plates
From animal print plates to plates shaped like animals , themed plates help bring your safari theme to life.
10. Animal-inspired costumes
Get into the safari spirit with safari animal print party hats and lion masks .
11. Delightful safari-themed party favors
Thank your guests for a roarin’ good time by sending them home with safari print party bags filled with trinkets like temporary animal tattoos .
Feeding hungry safari explorers (aka partygoers)
Of course, a day spent exploring will leave your guests licking their chops and circling the birthday cake like it’s a water buffalo. So, what kind of food does one serve at a safari-themed birthday bash? Animals eat all kinds of things, but these explorers will probably have a taste for cakes and treats, above all else.
12. The birthday cake
Maybe it’s shaped like your child’s favorite jungle animal or decorated with a scene from the safari of their dreams. Also, some animal candles make the perfect topper.
13. Cupcake decorating kit
For desserts that can double as an activity, have your guests decorate cupcakes with animal-themed toppers .
14. Animal tail treats
We love this idea of decorating chocolate-covered pretzel rods to look like tiger tails!
15. Veggies… but shaped like a lion
For a healthy snack, you can make a safari-themed veggie tray by using a dip (like hummus or ranch) as a lion’s face and surrounding it with peppers and carrots to form a lion’s mane.
Wording for an adventurous invite
Once you’ve picked out your favorite safari-themed invites , it’s time to invite your child’s fellow adventurers with the perfect birthday invitations . If you’re more of a Tarzan than a Jane and have trouble choosing the right words, consider the below examples for your kids’ birthday invitations to get those creative juices flowing.

10 Unique birthday party theme ideas for kids
P lanning a birthday party for your child can be a fun and creative endeavour. Instead of going with the same old generic themes, why not try something unique and memorable? To help you make your child's next birthday celebration truly special.
Here are ten unique birthday party-themed ideas for kids that will spark their imagination and leave a lasting impression on their friends.
1. UNDER THE SEA ADVENTURE
Transport your child and their friends to an underwater world with an 'Under the Sea' themed party. Decorate with sea creature balloons, blue and green streamers, and ocean-themed tableware.
Encourage costumes like mermaids, pirates, and sea animals. Activities can include a treasure hunt for hidden 'treasures' or creating underwater-themed crafts like seashell jewellery.
2. SUPERHERO ACADEMY
Every child dreams of being a superhero, so why not turn your child's birthday party into a 'Superhero Academy'? Provide capes, masks, and wristbands as party favours and set up obstacle courses and training exercises for the little heroes to complete. You can also have a 'villain' that they must work together to defeat.
3. SPACE ADVENTURE
Blast off into outer space with a 'Space Adventure' theme. Decorate with planets, stars, and astronauts. Organise activities such as a moonwalk (bounce house), a space-themed scavenger hunt, and even a 'build your own rocket' craft. Finish the day with a cosmic cake that resembles a planet or spaceship.
4. ENCHANTED GARDEN
Transform your backyard into an 'Enchanted Garden' for a whimsical and magical birthday party. Use fairy lights, garden decorations, and lots of flowers to create a fairy tale atmosphere.
Set up a craft station for making fairy crowns or gnome homes, and play garden-themed games like a 'flower petal treasure hunt.'
5. DINOSAUR EXPEDITION
Kids love dinosaurs, so why not host a 'Dinosaur Expedition' party? Create a prehistoric world with dinosaur decorations, fossils, and dinosaur-themed games like 'pin the tail on the T-Rex.' You can even hire a dinosaur entertainer to make the party even more exciting.
6. PIRATE ADVENTURE
Set sail on a high-seas adventure with a 'Pirate' themed party. Decorate with pirate flags, treasure chests, and pirate hats. Plan activities like a treasure hunt, pirate ship races, and a 'walk the plank' game. Serve pirate-themed snacks like goldfish crackers and pirate ship-shaped sandwiches.
7. SCIENCE LABORATORY
For the budding scientists in the group, a 'Science Laboratory' party is a fantastic choice. Set up experiments and hands-on activities like making slime, erupting volcanoes, or creating a rainbow with Skittles candy. Provide lab coats and safety goggles for added authenticity.
8. OUTDOOR CAMPING
Host an 'Outdoor Camping' party for adventurous kids. Set up tents in your backyard, complete with sleeping bags and a campfire (safely managed by adults). Tell stories around the campfire, make s'mores, and stargaze. This theme is perfect for a sleepover party.
9. CARNIVAL EXTRAVAGANZA
Bring the excitement of a carnival to your child's birthday with a 'Carnival Extravaganza' theme. Rent carnival games and rides, set up a popcorn and cotton candy station, and have a clown or magician for entertainment. It's a guaranteed hit for kids of all ages.
10. SAFARI EXPEDITION
Take your child and their friends on a 'Safari Expedition' to explore the wild. Decorate with animal print balloons, binoculars, and plush animals. Organize a 'safari scavenger hunt', where kids search for hidden animal figures, and serve snacks that resemble animal food, like 'monkey bananas' and 'elephant peanuts.'

31 Cocktails Named After Animals
Raise a drink to your favorite animals, including dogs, cats, and birds..
- Updated: Apr 28, 2020
- Collections
There is plenty of vision, originality, and talent in the world of cocktails and mixed drinks. From recipe ingredients, to drink presentation, and yes—even to drink names—creativity and inspiration abound.
While quite a few drinks sport quirky, fun, and inventive names—such as the Paper Plane, Hanky Panky, and Suffering Bastard—there are a surprisingly abundant number of cocktails named after animals. Everything from classics like the Lion's Tale, Grasshopper, and Moscow Mule to new concoctions created at bars around the country.
To give these animals—and drinks—their due, below we rounded up a bunch of cocktails named after animals. Break them out for your next animal-themed party, sporting event, or any other occasion that calls for drinks named after dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and even a dragon.
