Wildlife Art Prints Black & White Safari — Elephants, Birds & Zebra

Bring the raw beauty of the wild into your home with these wildlife art prints — a set of three black and white photographic-style pieces that together tell a quiet, powerful story of nature. On the left, a tender close-up of a mother and baby elephant drinking at a waterhole, their wrinkled skin and trunks rendered in rich, detailed grey tones. In the centre, a flock of birds — some dark, some pale, with the faintest hint of soft lilac-purple — scatter upward across a light, hazy sky. On the right, a strikingly graphic close-up of zebra stripes fills the entire frame in bold, high-contrast black and white. They work beautifully as a trio.

What I really love about this set is how the three images complement each other without being matchy. The softness of the elephant print balances the graphic punch of the zebra stripes, and the birds in the middle give your eye a moment to breathe between them. They sit perfectly above a fireplace — the strong horizontal arrangement fills the wall with confidence, and the monochrome palette means they work with almost any colour scheme.

How to Style Wildlife Art Prints Above Your Fireplace

I'd hang all three prints in a straight horizontal row at roughly eye level, with an even gap between each one — around 4–6 cm tends to look just right. Above a fireplace, that neat line of three carries real presence without feeling cluttered. Because the palette is pure black and white with just the softest hint of lilac in the birds print, these sit happily on warm white, cool grey, charcoal, or even a deep navy feature wall. If your room has any natural textures — rattan, linen, reclaimed wood — this set will feel right at home alongside them.

Safari and wildlife decor is having a real moment right now, and it's easy to see why — there's something grounding about having the natural world on your walls. If you want to lean further into the look, pair these prints with a woven jute rug, a dark wood mantelpiece, or some simple ceramic pieces in muted tones.

Choosing the Right Size and Style for Your Wall

Before you pick your size, think about the width of your fireplace or chimney breast. A wider wall calls for a larger set — if each print is too small, they can look a little lost above the mantel. As a rough guide, the total width of all three prints together should be at least two-thirds the width of your fireplace opening. If in doubt, go one size up — it's a far more common mistake to go too small than too large.

For the paper finish, I'd personally lean towards Museum quality if you want the deepest blacks and finest detail in the elephant and zebra close-ups — the photographic-style images really reward a high-quality print surface. Luster art paper is a fantastic choice too, with its gentle sheen keeping colours true without glare. And if you want something with real texture and depth, the wrapped canvas option gives these prints an almost gallery feel.

The monochrome colour palette here is genuinely versatile, so don't overthink it — these prints will earn their place on almost any wall. Scroll down to see how each size looks above a fireplace before you decide — there's a size-guide image below showing every option in that setting.
