Ideas For Safari Decorations
What is your idea of a safari?
It will depend on how you interpret the word.
Safari is a Swahili word that implies journey or travel. This typically means journey for survival’s sake or travel to scour for areas of habitat. Nonetheless, since the earliest exploration of the African safaris and the inevitable bloom of the industry, safari became correlated with leisure travel amidst the wild. It may also be viewed as exploration of nature with the limit ascribing to the safaris alone.
At a glance, safari may present endless arrays of wild creatures, some only having their residence in the safaris while many can be found in other locations like the jungles or the forests. Some 500+ birds are found in the safari, not to mention the insects, bugs and the preys and predators.
Safari does not only have its focus on the wild. It mainly concerns culture and the interactions of people with the original settlers of the safaris- the lowly creatures.
With these ideas established we can now decide on what safari decoration to use. Let us give our focus on a room them.
The target room for which the safari decorations will be used must be themed primarily with woods or savanna concepts. The wallpapers or the wall paints can appear in shades of cream with touches of high grasses or visions of trees. It may also be that some display of safari activities is seen on the wall. However, be keen not to over-emphasize the decorations.
Now, on your furniture. Having a safari themed room would be more expensive than having it plain and conventional. Nonetheless, safari decorations are relatively more appreciated since they offer novelty and uniqueness. You may start with your wood furniture.
There are many resources where you may find concepts of safari furniture. One of which may be of tribal theme. But you may choose to have it simple with the use of plain wood home furnishings.
The key in safari decorations is to make every idea connected with the big picture. If you have wood furnishings then you might as well accessorize them with articles that you have bought from your recent safari trip. However, if you have nothing of these stuffs, you may choose to seek items from local home furnishing shops.
On top of these, add a touch of Africa with a painting that depicts the life found naturally in its realms. There are many concepts to choose from. Only, secure to it that all will merge as one big concept once you’re done with decorating your room.

Get your guys with trucks to go around borrowing everybody’s mothers’ potted plants, asking when they were last watered. Water those that need it AFTER you place them, to avoid the weight water adds. Organize a phone campaign to arrange times most convenient to the mothers, with each boy making notes as he picks hem up, with the woman’s phone number and address, for prompt return.
Borrow binoculars to hang here and there, borrow summer hats, sunglasses, backpacks.
Be meticulous about each return.

Hi Lesha Christine, I like Dinah and Jaque’s thoughts. Ask the kids/siblings, if they have any stuffed animals, sunglasses etc… to "donate" for the night. These would look great on the tables! Next, I would grab my garden shears and start cutting any "large" leaves in my neighborhood. Apartment complexes are a great source. If you can afford some "raffia" (it’s very cheap) tie several leaves together and cluster small groupings on tables w/stuffed animals placed randomly. You could also get some cardboard boxes from your local grocer and cut-out some "jungle mask" shapes and decorate them w/colored felt-pens, beads, paint, feathers etc…How about some broom/mop handles with a cardboard cut-out of a "spear" wrapped in aluminum foil? These could be hot-glued/taped on. And, last but not least…wouldn’t it be great if you could get some kids to "record" their own voices on a tape/CD(?) of them making "jungle" noises IE; monkey sounds, Tarzan calls, rustling trees etc…Good Luck!
