Classic playing card games
Safari Pals Classics are multi-game playing card packs that will provide hours of family fun and will encourage and develop an interest in wildlife. Each pack comes with instructions for five great family and wildlife games but more game rules and variations are being added to this website all the time.
What makes Safari Pals cards special is the arrangement of the animal cards into fun sets; in the Classic they have names like 'Creepy Crawlies', 'Horny Beasts' and 'Chirpy Chappies'. This gives traditional games like 'Go Fish' and 'Happy Families' a real wildlife twist.
