Lions and Tigers and Zebras! Oh my! Throwing a safari party can be great
fun. It is also a party that will appeal to children of all ages.
How to host a Safari Party.
You will want to fill your home or party location with animals. Get your
children involved and make animal cutouts from paperboard. Or purchase
inflatable animals. Don’t forget the plastic snakes. Hang green crepe paper
from the ceiling to simulate the tree canopy of a rainforest.
Set up an activity station for the guests to make animal masks or enlist
someone to paint faces. For a simple party favor pass out disposable cameras
for the children to go on photographic safari with.
Plan a treasure hunt and call it going on safari. Hide clues around your
yard or home. If children are too young to read, have an adult read the
clues aloud. They will have to figure out the clues to find the next clue.
You could place a treasure at each clue or have a big treasure chest at the
end filled with goodie bags.
Some favor ideas suitable for a Safari Party are: pith helmets, binoculars,
magnifying glass, compass, anything camouflage or animal print, and little
plastic animals.
Make a banner for over the food table that says “Water Hole.” Have tent
cards for each dish with themed names: Gone Bananas Bread, Jungle Juice
(punch), Grass Lands Salad, Wild Pigs in a Blanket, Buzzard Bait (chicken
wings), and Prairie Pasta Salad. For the cake, use white frosting and
sprinkle crushed vanilla wafer cookies on top for sand. Frost a small
section blue to create an oasis. Then place some plastic trees and animals
around the cake.
Hopefully these ideas help you in planning a fun Safari Party. The
possibilities are endless and your guests would be lion if they said they
didn’t have a great time.
