Invitations

First decide whether you want to print the baby shower invitations cards or make them by yourself. If it's a small family get together, make these cards at home.
But for a large crowd, it is always wise to design and print them. Since it is a safari theme, you need to portray different jungle elements in it. These days baby shower invitation templates are easily available on Internet and you can download one such template that suits your theme.
Find out beautiful templates that contain various jungle animals, like tiger, lion, giraffe, monkey, etc. You can have these animals wearing diapers on the card. Use simple yet sweet invitation wordings like, We invite you to celebrate the arrival of the King/Queen of the Jungle. Be ready with your binoculars and safari hats.

Decorations

To bring in the mood of safari, decorate the party venue in jungle style. Use table clothes with animal drawings on them.
Place indoor plants in corners and decorate them with plastic green and brown vines. Hang some stuffed animal toys, like monkeys, birds, and other animals on these indoor plants. Ask the guests to bring some as well, and then put all these stuffed toys together at the center of a table.
You can also place all the gifts presented by the guests there, and cover them with a mosquito net. Also use other safari supplies, like binoculars and compasses, and place them on tables. Decorate the walls of the party venue by hanging various jungle maps.

Favors and Games

With a safari themed baby shower, you can have various creative party favors. You can give soaps in shape of animals. Or you can simply present the guests with stuffed animal toys.
You can also present some books that provide information on the jungle safari. Else give chocolates and candies wrapped in green and brown colors. Games like the scavenger hunt and name the baby animal name, make great games to be played at baby showers with this theme.

Food
