A Safari/Jungle Animal theme. Decorations can include Trees made of art paper taped to the walls and animals made of art paper peaking the heads out to watch the party. Some
real or fake indoor trees can also be placed around the party area with blow up animals lurking about.
Add some jungle noises in the background with the lights turned low for a complete effect.
