Lego® creator review & alt-build: 31116 safari wildlife tree house.

Alice Finch ( @bippitybricks ) returns as our guest reviewer again today, with LEGO® Creator 31116 Safari Wildlife Tree House in her sights. She examines each of the 3-in-1 models before designing a 4th of her own! Buying this £29.99 / US$29.99 / 29.99€ / AU$49.99 set? Consider using our affiliate links, New Elementary may get a commission: UK LEGO Shop | USA LEGO Shop | Australia LEGO Shop , for other countries 'Change Region'. The products in this article were provided by LEGO; the author's opinions are not biased by this.

31116 Safari Wildlife Tree House is in the LEGO® Creator line and features an animal, a vehicle or structure, and at least one colourful bird in each of the three models. Seeing as most of us are still staying close to home, taking a trip on a LEGO safari is a welcome departure from the living room, office or wherever you have been spending the last year.

1- Lion and Biplane

The first model built is the lion and biplane. The first step in all three of the instruction booklets is putting the minifigures together. 

The lion made good use of many of the small 1x1 brackets and multiple colours of cheese slopes to shape the head. The legs and head are all hinged with plates with clips and handles, and the first instance where I wished there was a ball and socket joint to allow the head to do more than nod. The lion has a leafy shrub to provide it with shade to lounge, swat flies, and eat. 

A partial skeleton under it suggests a recent meal of an ungulate, perhaps a springbok. The skeleton is a wonderful storytelling detail that is cleverly built with only a few parts for the head and clips as a row of ribs.

The shrub itself uses standard techniques- slopes as the roots, arches as branches. It uses a newer technique for securely attaching the leaves on 1x2 plate with bar arm up (6261358 | 4623) so that the branches can move and still stay attached. 

The first of several clever bird builds is perched on the top of the bush. This particular bird is straightforward with a 1x1 with 4 studs as the base, tooth plates for wings, and cheese slopes for shaping the head and body. On its own it isn’t particularly remarkable, but as part of a collection of four different bird builds in this set, it is nice to show options for how to use a few simple parts to build a variety of species. 

I do find it slightly amusing that of the three models, this is the only one where the child minifigure is not with the adult high in the tree house, on the boat, or in the cockpit of the plane (where there isn’t room for a passenger). Instead, on the instruction cover, the child is on their own, in close proximity to the lion, which is focused on the child’s camera, making it look like a dog with a wagging tail, waiting for its ball to be thrown and fetched. This one may be a friendly lion- it is hard to see it as too ferocious with those googly eyes. 

Now on to the biplane, with a typical open cockpit, and effectively uses the dark brown cylinder halves as the engine cowlings. The overall use of colour is a strange mix with both bright and dark colours, but that is to be expected in a Creator 3-in-1 when parts are being used for multiple purposes. This part efficiency is demonstrated with the windows as the struts for the wings and two pillars and door frame for the cockpit. The effect is a bit chunky, but it works.

2- Catamaran and crocodile

The second build is the catamaran and crocodile. Let’s address the question that I know everyone is asking- is it a crocodile or an alligator? Even though the shape of the head is not detailed enough to differentiate, there is a simple way to prove it is indeed a croc. Alligators are found in the US and China and not in Africa. Since the name of this set includes the word “safari,” safari = Africa, and therefore also = crocodiles. As it turns out, the Nile crocodile is found in freshwater environments all over Africa and is considered the most dangerous after Australian saltwater crocodiles. Good thing the child is on the boat for this wildlife encounter!

The croc puts the white clips from the skeleton to great use as teeth, sandwiched between a pair of 2x16 plates (6331218 | 4282), now available for the first time in olive . Even though I’m thrilled to have yet another part in olive, this was the second time I wished for a ball and socket joint to make the croc have some kind of flexibility like an intimidating swishing tail. Right now, it looks a bit like a log. 

Pictured earlier sitting by the croc is another bird, which might be a plover as that has a symbiotic relationship with crocodiles: the plover cleans the croc’s teeth and the croc doesn’t eat the bird. This makes for another great storytelling moment as the rigid form of the croc can now do more than slink along the banks of the water, watching and waiting for the catamaran to capsize. 

The catamaran features a single sail, a raised deck, and makes effective use of dark blue 10x1 curved slopes (6251378 |  85970) to shape the 2 parallel hulls. Even though catamarans originated in Oceania and Asia, and are not particularly connected with the waters of Africa, we’ll assume it is just a modern craft, out for a pleasure cruise, in crocodile infested waters. 

The hulls use all of the x4 white and x12 orange headlight bricks, and since they are all covered, it made me wonder, why orange? So far, this is the only set produced in 2021 that uses them in orange so it doesn’t seem to be a need for production efficiency. Maybe something in the third model specifically needs them to be orange. 

Besides the bird, the other little detail in this model is the telescope built from a clear bottle. Without it, the catamaran would seem plain. The potential for exciting storytelling helps make up for it.

3- Treehouse and Giraffe

The third build is the namesake tree house with a giraffe and flamingo. This is by far the largest and complex of the models, as there were only the extra small parts left over, compared to what looks to be about half the parts left after the first build.

Again the booklet begins with the minifigures, but this time with one small change. The adult now holds a green flower, a prompt for her to feed it to the giraffe. At the San Diego Zoo you can buy pellets and feed them to the giraffes. It is quite an experience to hold out your hand and have the elegant creatures amble up to you, then flick out their amazingly long prehensile tongues and collect the pellets from your hand. 

The giraffe has quite a few details that make it look distinctly giraffe-like, even without the spots. Starting from the top, the Round 1x1 with Bar and Pin Holder (6186673 | 20482) are perfect for the horns, which are not actually horns. They are ossicones, made of cartilage that hardens, or ossifies, into bony tissue and are covered in skin. Both females and males are born with ossicones, but they lie flat and are not attached to the skull to avoid injury to either mama or baby at birth. Similar to the bones in human skulls, they fuse later in life. 

A row of black 1x1 round plates mimic the fringe down its long neck, which, by the way, has the same number of vertebrae as you and me. The tail, which in real life has a tuft of long dark hair, useful for keeping biting insects at bay, is made out of a carrot top. Even though the long legs lack a knee joint, they are suitably awkward when posing it upright or bent over as if it were drinking water. And lastly, the BB-8 heads more formally called cone 1 ½ x 1 ½ x ⅔ truncated (6199468 | 33492) make up the hoofed feet.  

Now onto the treehouse, which uses those 2x16 in olive, plus a couple 4x8 half round plates to create the base for the ladder and the tree. The tree again uses a variety of brown slopes to represent the roots. On top of the roots is the black 4x4 turntable base (4517986 | 61485), which at first I thought meant that the trunk would be able to rotate, but instead looks to be, in combination with the axle that goes through the centre of the trunk, a secure way of attaching the vertical part of the tree to the base. The ladder pieces, attached to a rocky base with clips at the bottom and the platform at the top, secures the tree firmly so that it does not budge. The rest of the tree, with its arch branches and green leaves is standard and symmetrical and makes for a rigid base.

The viewing platforms and walkway are all protected with railings built from the x24 tan 1x1 cones, and makes for good spots to feed or photograph the giraffes. The structure itself uses the 4 red pillars to frame a space for the two features of the treehouse: a white couch and a tiny bathroom. 

It is slightly odd, but not completely unexpected to find a toilet and a sink as one of the defined interior spaces of a LEGO building. I wondered about the questionable plumbing for the toilet, but only until building the cute sink using the new Cylinder Half 1x2x1 (6311384 | 6801), so far available in only 3 other sets, all of them large and expensive. 

The singular 1x6 brick in light aqua is also used here, although it is completely covered by the couch on one side and  is only barely visible from the bathroom side. As nice as it is to have a brick in this colour, I wish you could actually see it. It is available in 9 other sets, most of which are the heart shaped boxes from the LEGO Friends line.

The walls of the bathroom are built using the red windows, this time with glass, various medium nougat bricks, and those orange headlights I was waiting to be significant. I can’t say I’m convinced that the use here necessitated them being orange. The combination of brown, medium nougat, dark tan, red, orange, and dark red makes for quite a garish combination. Exchanging the orange headlights for any one of these other colours would have helped significantly, and how nice it would have been to have them in medium nougat or dark red, colours that would have worked well in either of the other models. 

The structure is effectively roofed with the dark blue curved slopes and has just enough exposed studs for yet another variety of bird to perch on. The spinning weather apparatus in dark azure is another nice detail. 

Under the tree are two smaller plants built primarily in sand green. The teeth plates used on a previous iteration of a bird and as the crocodile’s feet now form a plant reminiscent of a succulent, with a single dark pink blossom. And making excellent use of x4 sand green sausages (6258159 | 33078) is another plant, reminiscent of nothing in particular, but that is of little importance since I now have x4 sand green sausages, plus an extra, which is more than any other set. 

And last but not least, the best bird of the bunch, a flamingo. Even though they do actually have two legs, it is a perfect excuse for using only one antenna for the visible leg they perch on while resting. The heart tiles make perfect wings to complement the other dark pink and magenta parts making up the rest of the bird. 

Alice Finch’s alternate build of 31116 Safari Wildlife Tree House

Seeing as this is a Creator set, it seemed only proper to build an alternative, keeping the basic structure of the three models in mind- a structure or vehicle of some kind, an animal, and a bird.

The structure, in this case, is the safari park entrance, featuring the printed tile and the four red windows as the fence, where the child is throwing food pellets to the springbok.

The animal is an attempt at a springbok, which was inspired by the skeletal carcass in the lion model. 

I found it extremely challenging to build with the parts available. Even though the colours were a good match, the parts availability made it tough. It turns out there are very few basic plates in the set. And for the third time, I wished for that ball and socket joint so that the head or neck could more freely rotate. The tail is up as a warning to others to beware of the humans in the vicinity. 

I also tried to build a different kind of tree. The same brown slopes, cylinders, arches and leaves used in the set are now built upside down. I used the same axle through the middle of the trunk technique to connect the down facing studs of the trunk to the up facing studs of the branches. The sausages are used for the long acacia tree thorns that giraffes skillfully avoid.

And finally, the bird. Since all the other birds seemed to only have one leg, I made sure this one had two. It wasn’t inspired by a particular species, only by an attempt to use the available parts in a different way than in the other birds from the set. 

There are a few things that recommend this set as worth getting. The large parts of the builds themselves are not particularly instructive, but there are good parts and enough clever uses in the animals to make it a fun set to build.

There are lots of great little parts in a variety of colours and in enough quantity to be useful. As a group, the birds are probably the most creative use of all these little bits. The birds also offer good prompts for storytelling during play. And lastly, I appreciate the fact that this is a set based somewhere other than Europe or North America, and includes animals that may be common in zoos but are actually native to Africa, the only proper place for a safari.

Nice review, the part selection seems great and vast enough to make a bit more models with it, I'll be sure to give it a go

Good review! You may have been bothered by the orange headlight bricks but personally, I think that even if they aren't "realistic", the splash of sunset-y color they add to the third model is nice and livens up the look of it more than a "realistic" brown or nougat would. By contrast, the catamaran (which doesn't use the brighter reds or oranges of the other two models visibly) winds up looking maybe a little drearier despite its interesting build. The little anemometer on the top of the treehouse is also a great touch!

Hmm, could that lion-dog perhaps be a Chinese Guardian Lion that somehow strayed off to Africa? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_guardian_lions

This is one of the most informative, interesting, and humorous reviews I have ever read. I love all the bits about the animals and plants, and comments about the safety of the child. This delightful article makes me want to buy 3 no, 4 sets so I can build all of them. Also, the green sausages!

"...just a modern craft...in crocodile infested waters." Not as inconceivable as you might think. :) Thanks for the insightful review!

Thank you for helping me figure out what the skeleton was. Much appreciated. I also thought the lion was a dog as it was alone with the kid while the adult flew the plane. The little birds are indeed great to build.

Safari Wildlife Tree House

REVIEW: LEGO 31116 CREATOR 3-IN-1 SAFARI WILDLIFE TREE HOUSE

Times change, pandemics come and go, but LEGO remains timeless and releases a new Tree House every year.

That’s what I thought when I saw the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Safari Wildlife Tree House 31116 that I received from The LEGO Group and Brickcentral for a review.

Right away I was in love with the theme. I simply love safari pictures and wildlife. And what kid (and kid-at-heart) doesn’t like tree houses?

This set will be released on March 1st and offers fans the chance to build three different models: a tree house with a giraffe , a catamaran with a crocodile , and a biplane with a lion .

I built all three and took some pictures, which I will show you in this review. I’ll also share some behind-the-scenes that explains how I tried to create some convincing wildlife scenes with it.

The wildlife safari tree house

Let’s go with the first model, the Wildlife Safari Tree House, which uses all the parts.

This one is nicely built, with a mixture of colors (sand green, olive green, dark orange, etc) that we do not see often in such sets. The house is mounted on a baseplate assembled with olive green plates, and has an access ladder and guardrails. On one side there’s a white couch where characters (at least the ones with movable legs, too bad kiddo) can sit, and the other side is the entrance to the house with a bright orange door.

I appreciate the small details, such as the exotic flowers underneath (one bloomed, one closed), the rotating weather station on top and the picture frame with the elephants . And the giraffe (I’ll come to that below).

What’s in the “house”? Don’t get your hopes up. It is very narrow , and only has room for a sink and a toilet . I would dare say it’s more a WC than a house if it wasn’t for the sad fact that a minifigure can’t even sit there with the door closed (helloooo, privacy?) Well, one could fit something else in there. I tried, successfully.

Speaking of which, two brick-built birds are offered in this model: a king fisher (one of my favorite birds) and a flamingo . Simpy adorable.

One very positive feature is the brick-built giraffe . It looks convincing and is the star of the set. Looking at it, I couldn’t help but wonder if we’ll ever get other wildlife brick-built animals (elephants, hippos, tigers, lions). Anyways, I did some shots in the same style as the picture frame, a silouhette against a sunset . An easy classic.

Minifigures

The minifigures surely represent a mother and her son and are meant to stay as such throughout the different models. We get to follow their adventures in the wildlife.

The mother comes with a smiling face and a laughing one with eyes closed; the son is an amateur photographer who seems the happy shy type, but also mildly annoyed by his mom. Or something else. Otherwise, why put such a sad face on a kid in a beautiful setting surrounded by giraffes and birds?

The river catamaran

To answer this, let’s have a look at the second model, the small catamaran .

This model uses some clever SNOT techniques for the floaters. The boat is again very convincing, has room for the two minifigures and has a rotating sail. If it wasn’t for the fact that we lose the giraffe when building this, it would be my favorite of the three models.

In terms of fauna (it is a wildlife theme), this model comes with a small water bird and a crocodile . The first is as nice as the previous models, but the crocodile is simply built by sandwiching some white and brown parts between two long olive green plates. The mouth does not open and the legs are stiff too. It takes some imagination to make this one jump into action.

This crocodile is probably why the designers saw fit to give the boy an annoyed second face, as you can see from my shot. Or is it really mainly because of what his mother makes him go through?

The biplane

Speaking of which, let’s check the third model: the small monoplace biplane .

This plane comes with a cute and well crafted lion but also a very crude tree hiding the skeleton of a dead animal (a deer? Seems like antlers on top…) Honestly, this last part left me wondering who would like to play with this, but it kind of sets the tone for a wildlife decor so I take it.

The plane, a double-wing model, is cleverly built and has a rotating propeller , which can even spin when blowing at it. The use of the red pillars and door frame in a SNOT manner was satisfactory and I am sure will give ideas to young LEGO fans.

Sadly there’s only one place in the cockpit so that kid will have to hang on tight for dear life (here again a good reason for the frowny face).

As for most Creator 3-in-1 sets, the alternative builds do not use up all the parts and leave almost 200 leftover parts . This is acceptable for allowing different age and experience levels to build them. More experienced fans will surely have fun trying to beef up the official models with the spare parts, as is clearly intended for this theme.

Behind-the-scenes

I will show you here the two small scenes I crafted for the sunset house shot and the river shot . Both use slightly similar lighting setups, but differed in the color grading.

Look at the image above for some clarity. The setup was done on a glass table with cardboard paper covered using a mixture of large rocks, granutaled cork, fake moss of 4 colors, vivarium branches and plastic leaves.

For both shots I used a semi-transparent wrapping paper (1) (this came with furniture, perhaps IKEA glass cabinets), which I hung on a studio background support . I lit up a desktop lamp with a RBG LED bulb , which was set to dark orange (2) . I then supplemented lighting on the hairline of some elements (house, people’s heads, the giraffe) using a powerful LED flashlight (3) fixed to the background support suing a Small Rigs clamp. This was aligned to more or less the line of the desktop lamp, slightly above not to appear in the picture frame.

I then used a cool-white LED panel bounced back to the scene with a piece of paper (4) .

For the safari tree house picture I used the glass table as a water pond , which offered some reflection when the point of view was set at the proper angle.

I also used a small nano led inside the lamp (5) to provide some practical lighting. It really served its full purpose for a night shot (see below).

For the river shot , I laid some plastic food wrapping paper (6) for simulating water and wrinkled it to make it look like the boat’s trail. I added another one behind the crocodile to replicate water splashing out (poor kid).

For both pictures (and a lot presented here), I took several shots at different focal points throughout the scene (characters, giraffe, flamingo for the house shot; both characters and crocodile for the catamaran). I shot at f/5.6 on a 100mm lens , trying to keep ISO below 400 with a proper exposure, and merged the different frames using focus stacking in Photoshop. This allowed me to focus sharply on the main elements throughout the scene while blurring out most of the background.

Conclusions

Overall, the 31116 Creator 3-in-1 Safari Wildlife Tree House offers three cute little models, all of which involve a few non-conventional building techniques that will please younger fans who like challenges. Color schemes are perfectly suited for the wildlife context.

The designers managed to provide several brick-built animals, some simply superb (the giraffe, the lion and the flamingo), other lack luster (the stiff crocodile). I enjoyed the house, despite the lack of real functionality (it’s a toilet with a terrace!), but largely preferred the boat. I am sure people will occasionally switch between models to have the best of both worlds.

Overall Score: 8/10

31116 Creator 3-in-1 Safari Wildlife Tree House has 397 pieces. The set retails for €29.99/$29.99/£29.99 and will be available on March 1st. Thanks to LEGO and Brickcentral for providing this set.

The review represents my personal point of view.

We’d been eyeing the cabin for quite some time and were never disappointed with our stay!

It was a perfectly splendid getaway for me and my husband despite the rainy and cool winter weather – already dreaming of coming back!” – Elena, November 2021

This magical Redwood Treehouse is located in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains.

It is completely kitted out with a kitchen, full bathroom, and even a cosy hot tub.

Guest review : “Mary Jane was easy to communicate with.

The treehouse is absolutely delightful.

The walk in the woods to arrive at its door is perfect for releasing the tension of the city.

It was one of my favorite parts!

The hot tub was great, especially loved enjoying a soak while the sun rose through the lush forest.

The location was great.

We loved Blossoms Farm Store and Cafe on Freedom Blvd and the hundred year old nursery across the street.

There is a great market nearby and lots of state parks!

We will definitely return and can’t wait….Sandy and Art and Joey from Sacramento” – Sandy, January 2022
