Explorer Costumes

Explorer and Safari Costumes for Children and Adults

A jungle to explore, animals to observe and perhaps even hidden treasure waiting to be found. At Costumalia, you’ll discover explorer and safari costumes for children and adults who are ready to set off on their next expedition.

Explorer clothing usually mixes beige, green and brown with safari-style shirts, waistcoats, trousers or dresses. From there, it’s up to you to choose the mission: study wild animals, investigate an ancient civilisation or track down a long-lost relic.

Children’s Explorer Costumes for Boys and Girls

With a boys’ explorer costume, a school event or nature-themed activity can quickly become a jungle expedition. Give young adventurers a pair of binoculars and they can follow tracks, discover imaginary species or organise a treasure hunt with their friends.

A girls’ explorer costume might include trousers and a waistcoat or come as a safari dress. Whichever style you choose, a children’s explorer costume should allow plenty of freedom to move, especially if there will be games, dancing or a school performance.

This theme is also great fun for groups. Combine a safari costume with lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants and monkeys to create a full expedition with friends, siblings or classmates. One half of the group can explore the jungle while the other half brings it to life.

Adult Explorer Costumes

Adults can join the expedition too. An adult explorer costume works brilliantly for Halloween, hen and stag dos, themed fancy dress parties or jungle-inspired group celebrations.

Men’s explorer costumes often feature the familiar clothing of classic expeditions, including shirts, trousers, belts and waistcoats. A women’s explorer costume may come as a dress or a multi-piece explorer outfit. Both can be combined with hats, boots, maps and other accessories, whether you’re venturing out alone or teaming up with a fellow adventurer.

Famous Explorer and Archaeologist Costumes

Few film adventurers are as recognisable as Indiana Jones. An Indiana Jones costume comes down to four distinctive elements: the hat, shirt, whip and unmistakable air of an archaeologist who’s only moments away from uncovering a lost relic.

Young fans can choose a Tad the Lost Explorer costume for children’s parties, World Book Day and other fancy dress occasions. Planning a memorable duo? Pair Tad with a Mummy costume from Tad the Lost Explorer, and you’ll have two characters that fans will spot straight away.

An archaeologist or adventurer costume also gives you the freedom to invent your own story. A group might include map experts, treasure hunters, researchers of ancient ruins and wildlife explorers. Who says everyone has to be chasing the same discovery?

Accessories to Complete Your Explorer Costume

Accessories do much of the storytelling. An explorer waistcoat suggests pockets filled with useful tools, while a safari hat and binoculars place the character right in the middle of an expedition.

You could also add a compass, neckerchief, torch or backpack, but there’s no need to carry the entire expedition kit. A hat and binoculars are enough to give a safari costume its adventurous character, while a map and backpack add an extra touch to an archaeologist outfit.

Choose the accessories that suit your adventure, gather your team and get moving. The expedition is about to begin.
