Parenting is a wild ride, full of unexpected twists and turns, making a safari theme adorable and fitting for your little explorer’s space.
With options ranging from soft drapes and plush animals to bold wallpapers and natural wood accents, you can create a nursery that’s as unique as your baby!

Add in some whimsical touches and creative accents, and you’ll have a nursery that’s ready for all the wild and wonderful moments ahead.
Soft Safari Nursery
Long drapes, a floor length crib canopy and even a fabric or textured lighting fixture on the ceiling give this safari nursery a soft feeling.
If you’re trying to create an enticing nursery with an inviting and relaxing vibe, adding soft textiles, plush animals and even a cuddly crib mobile will help you put the look together!
Bright Airy Safari Nursery
Beige and bright white pair perfectly together in this nursery look to make a light and airy feeling room. The wicker detail in this room on the ceiling light and wall mirror are a golden color that match the spots on the giraffe plush, they add interest without darkening the space.
Whimsical Safari Nursery
A bold wallpaper print, dark furniture and cute wall accents give this nursery an adventurous feeling. To give your nursery an even more organic atmosphere, add some plants (they’re good for air quality as an added plus!)
Sage and Safari Nursery
The color sage is perfect for a safari nursery. You can use a couple different shades of this earthy green color for variety and pair it with cream or white. You’ll notice a lot of these safari nurseries have a giant stuffed giraffe as part of their decor. These huge plushies are great for decoration and also awesome for pretend play later as your baby grows.
Nursery with Safari Details
You don’t have to go totally wild to pull together a subtle safari nursery theme. You’ll notice this nursery has no crazy wallpaper or intense decorating scheme. The giraffe themed changing station and safari themed toys are enough to look cute but not too bold.
Safari Nursery with Pampas Grass
Pampas grass is another natural element you can add to your safari themed nursery to give it an earthy atmosphere. This is such a sophisticated and modern look with the touches of brass throughout the room and natural wood furniture.
Natural Wood Safari Nursery
Using natural wood in your safari themed nursery will make it look more organic! You can use natural wood elements in so many pieces of your furniture like the dresser, crib, shelves and rocking chair.
How cute is this lion wall lamp?! It’s the perfect fit for your little king of the savannah.
Safari Nursery with Wainscotting
Adding an accent wall to your baby’s nursery is totally on trend right now. Wainscotting is a simple way to create an accent wall that won’t break the bank. Grab some thin pieces of wood trim and paint to make this vision come to life.
Some other great ways to create an accent wall are with wallpaper, a gallery wall, board and batten, limewashing, or even by using mural art.
Modern White Safari Nursery
Want to upgrade your style with a modern chic look? Check out this ceiling fan with its industrial, rugged design. The brass on the lighting fixture matches the safari animal handles on the dresser.
You can totally DIY this dresser look. Remove the handles that come with your standard furniture and order some cute brass animal handles from Etsy to replicate this idea.
Neutral Safari Nursery
When you’re thinking of a nursery, colorful books and toys might immediately come to mind. But there is something so gorgeous about a classic, crisp white nursery!
A neutral palette like the one above is perfect for an effortlessly styled space. The rug, wall art and plant add plenty of interest to the space, along with the cozy pieces like the throw blanket.
Simple Safari Nursery
A bold safari wallpaper print with a white background is definitely eye-catching! Everything in this photo adds so much character and interest to the space, and the elements also work together to create a sophisticated look.
Have you ever thought of painting your ceiling a different color? Instead of going with a classic white ceiling, it can give your room a feeling of warmth and comfort.
Trendy Safari Nursery
How many wall colors can you spot in this picture? If you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and paint, you can achieve this unique look in your own nursery with just a few different shades.
Taupe, beige, charcoal and brown can all work together to form a neutral color palette for your dreamy safari nursery.
Small Safari Nursery

Who says a small space can’t make a BIG impact? Even if you’re tight on space you can still make a sophisticated, stylized nursery just like the photo above.
Instead of using wainscotting or bead-board to create a dual-tone wall color, paint can have the same striking effect. Going with a darker color like green on the bottom half of your wall will give you a unique look while still allowing the lighter wall color on top to brighten up your space.
Blue Safari Nursery
You don’t have to stick with the classic green to pull together a cute safari nursery look! Light blue is another great accent color option for your little boy’s space.
The grey color of an African elephant actually pairs amazingly well with light blue, so incorporating these colors into your decor can create a soothing effect.
Where The Wild One Sleeps – Safari Nursery
Do you like the idea of a catchphrase or quote to help inspire your nursery theme? How about ‘where the wild one sleeps’? Newborns might look sweet and innocent but just wait until they start crawling…
This nursery showcases how you can use different neutral tones to put together a cohesive look. If you’re not a fan of bright colors, stick with the classics!
Bold Print Safari Nursery
Wallpapering your WHOLE nursery with a bold print might be a bit much, but you can see how exciting this vibrant look is when you apply a print to one wall. You’ll end up with a mural-like effect on your feature wall.
You can even choose a wall in your nursery that already features other objects like windows or doorways so that you’re not using an overwhelming amount of wallpaper.
Neutral Bead Board Safari Nursery
Put together your own slat-board or bead-board wall for this sophisticated look! The natural wood with grey tones in this example are a simple and classic recipe for creating a fabulous nursery. You can give your baby’s space an instant upgrade with a lovely accent wall like this one.
Feminine Safari Nursery
Between the feathery light fixture and the safari animal prints decked out in florals, this safari nursery theme achieves a feminine look. The safari nursery theme is a great neutral choice for a nursery but by adding a few girlie touches, you can easily make it perfect for your little princess too.
Blush pink, beige and white are a winning combination for this look. Even subtle details like the crystal at the end of the curtain rods add some cute feminine energy to the space.
Safari Bunting Banner
You don’t have to go overboard with your nursery theme to have a strong impact! Keep things simple by adding a few small touches like this elephant bunting banner and an African animal crib mobile.
A fabric banner like this is a cute retro-inspired detail that’s perfect for adding classic nursery charm to your space!
Earthy Safari Nursery
Natural details like wood, raffia, and rattan are perfect for an earthy safari-inspired room. You could easily add plants for a stunning addition that would totally fit the vibe.
Forest Green Safari Nursery
Although most of these safari nursery looks have been less colorful, there’s nothing wrong with a bold color like forest green to complete the nursery of your dreams.
This room has a laid-back and eclectic feel with some boho-vibes that you can tailor to fit your personal style.
Wicker and Wood Safari Nursery
This rattan accented dresser is the perfect addition to your safari nursery. Combine your design with wainscotting on the bottom half of your wall for a classic (and functional) look. The wainscotting can actually help protect your walls from damage as your little one grows into a whirlwind.
If you’re thinking of adding a mirror to your nursery, try a round one! The round shape adds a soft, organic element to a space, contrasting with the often angular lines of furniture.
Final Thoughts
From soft, inviting textiles and whimsical wall accents to bold wallpapers and natural elements like pampas grass and wood, there are countless ways to bring this adventurous theme to life. Whether you prefer a minimalist look with neutral tones or a vibrant, eclectic style, a safari nursery can be tailored to fit your personal taste and create a comforting, inspiring environment for your little one.
With thoughtful details like plush animals, organic accents, and creative use of colors and textures, you can craft a nursery that is both functional and enchanting, making it the perfect place for your baby to grow and explore.
