Jungle/ Safari Party

Lion King Birthday Box

Whether you take your party to the outdoors or keep it inside your home, party guests can still get a safari experience of a lifetime.

Party Setting

In the piles of stuffed animals that your child has, there might already be some hidden party decorations. If there are any plush safari animals, place them around different areas of your house, where you can later take the children through a safari tour. Hang green and brown streamers from your ceiling to give the effect of long tree branches and willow trees. This will make it very fun for the kids to walk through.

If you pass Safari hats or masks out to the kids at the beginning of the party it will really get them into the right jungle spirit.

Party Tunes

If you can find an animal sound CD to be playing throughout the party that’s perfect, but if you want to go for themed music, consider Dr. Doo Little’s “Talk to the Animals” or the Lion King Soundtrack.

Party Refreshments

Animal Crackers and animal shaped sandwiches are a given. How about some kid friendly jungle juice? Have fun naming the food items after jungle creatures.

Don’t forget to decorate your table with jungle creatures and these adorable placemats.
