11 Creative Safari Baby Shower Ideas (2024)

Looking for some absolutely adorable safari baby shower ideas? If you love wild animals, the outdoors, and adventure, then hosting a safari baby shower is a no-brainer! This fun theme allows you to show off your and your growing baby’s “wild side”.

Before you get too far into your planning, though, ensure you have the perfect space picked out for your baby shower! Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for event spaces and makes it easy to find the ideal safari-themed baby shower venue for your party.

From our search of safari-themed spaces on Peerspace, we found these 11 amazing safari baby shower ideas that you can incorporate into your own party. We can’t wait to see which ones you choose to show off during your event!

1. Host the baby shower outdoors in a lush, tropical setting

One of the best safari baby shower ideas is to take the party outdoors – in a setting that conjures up a real sense of adventure!

For example, check out Emuna Events, a lush tropical oasis in North Tustin. It is the private backyard of a home that provides you with one acre of land that boasts a pool, gazebos, a fountain, and lush landscaping. Be sure to look at the photos on the venue’s Peerspace listing so you can see all the possibilities here! For example, you could have the food laid out inside a tent and host fun safari-themed baby shower games on the lawn – complete with beautiful views!

2. Fill the space with ferns to enhance the safari vibes

Ferns are a must-have decoration for a safari baby shower! This fun, natural decor piece will make you feel like you’ve been transported to the jungle.

For example, check out how the ferns in this cozy Huntington Park, South Los Angeles, event space really make it pop! It is a stylish indoor and outdoor space that already fulfills the decor obligation for a safari-themed baby shower. The fact that the venue is called THE FERN is no coincidence!

3. Mix in some pinks and blues for an elegant take on a safari baby shower

No matter if you are welcoming a baby girl or boy into the world, why not celebrate with a fun “pink or blue” safari theme? It doesn’t have to become a cheesy baby shower cliche when you book the right venue, like The Pink Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, FL.

It is a gorgeous Mediterranean-inspired villa with indoor and outdoor spaces that have serious safari inspiration and adorable, chic touches of pink and blue. We love it here, and we think you will, too!

4. Unleash your wild side and decorate with stylish animal prints

A list of safari baby shower ideas wouldn’t be complete without a shout-out to some gorgeous animal prints! Animal print rugs, wallpaper, decorations, and fabrics will really bring your theme together.

For example, check out how the multiple animal print rugs and lush decor really pull together the safari theme in this unique large DTLA penthouse with maximalist jungle decor in Los Angeles, CA.

5. Sip on tropical drinks in an adorable and colorful outdoor space

Tropical drinks are definitely in order when it comes to celebrating a safari baby shower! On Peerspace, you can find venues that offer bartending services and spaces, like this Chicago outdoor patio that even offers all-natural frozen drink pitchers. You can also bring your own booze or just go for the virgin options of tropical drinks like margaritas, mojitos, pina coladas, daiquiris, and more!

6. Include a fun safari-themed photo wall to encourage plenty of photo-taking

Get creative with your safari baby shower ideas, and consider having an awesome photo wall to take all your baby shower pics! The lush neon jungle set in this multi-set Miami production studio is a perfect example of just such a photo wall.

We love the idea of having a couch in front of your photo wall too, so you can get reaction pictures sitting and opening your baby shower gifts, as well as some adorable pics with all your guests.

7. Hang out with safari animals at an animal sanctuary

Don’t just settle for a safari theme during your baby shower — enjoy a full-blown safari! This Peerspace venue in Temecula, CA comes with its very own animal sanctuary. Nestled in this 26 acres of southern California land, you’ll find zebras, goats, reptiles, and more!

8. Choose a venue with plenty of natural light and safari vibes

No matter the theme, no matter the event, beautiful natural light is always a must. Ample light at your baby shower will keep the mood light, airy, and positive. For example, look how well the safari theme pops in this beautifully lit condo in Atlanta! It is a 900+-square-foot venue chic and airy space with modern safari decor that will provide a welcoming haven for the mom-to-be.

9. Send out safari-themed baby shower invites

When you are planning your safari baby shower, don’t forget about those invites! A fun idea for invites would be to do a maternity shoot in a safari-themed space and include those pics on your baby shower invitations. One beautiful, upscale setting with a wink to the safari theme is this artfully designed West Bottoms studio in Kansas City, MO.

A Peerspace user who booked a maternity shoot here shared the following review: “Shannon is an amazing host with an incredibly well put together studio! This place is way beyond expectations with an ambiance you have to see and experience for yourself. I would 100% recommend this studio to anyone looking for a place to shoot some intimate scenes/looks and will be booking again soon!”
