Decorations:

Transform your party space into a wild and immersive safari setting. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Safari Backdrop to hang up in the Party Space. It would be a fun Picture Backdrop for the kids. You can purchase this Backdrop and all of the other decorations I used for this Party here.

Balloons are always a fun way to add COLOR to any party or event. You can make Beautiful Balloon Bouquet’s or fun Balloon Arches and Garlands. Below are pictures of the different ways to use the Balloons.

Safari Training Camp:

Upon arrival, turn your backyard or party area into a Safari Training Camp where young explorers can gear up for their wild adventure. Here are some engaging activities to include:

• Provide binoculars and safari hats for each child to wear during the party. If you would like to put the children’s names on their hat’s like I did, you can edit and print the tag I used here.
• Set up a station where kids can decorate their own safari hats with fun paper and the name tags you created for them. It will be so fun for them and something they can keep and take home.
• Party Favor Gift Bags are also fun to give to the Children as they leave the Birthday Party. You can find the one’s I used here.

Animal Encounter Game:

Bring the safari to life by incorporating interactive animal encounters into the party. 

• Set up a safari-themed scavenger hunt where kids can search for hidden animals and clues leading to a special surprise. I just printed off different animal images and hid them all around my yard. You can print the images here.
