"A Swingin' Safari" is an instrumental composed by Bert Kaempfert in 1962. It was recorded by Kaempfert on Polydor Records and released in the United States on Decca Records, but failed to chart. It was then recorded by Billy Vaughn that same year, and Vaughn's cover reached number 13 on the Billboard charts in the summer of 1962. The song was a title track of an LP consisting of orchestrations of the South African kwela style of penny-whistle music popular in the 1950s. In 1971, the song was used as the theme music to the Blue Peter Royal Safari.
