African Locust Game

Sadly, Namibia in south Africa is well known for its locust swarms with African migratory and red locusts regularly invading devastating crops and irrigation systems severely impacting on the wellbeing of already impoverished rural communities. When the locusts arrive (and even a medium size swarm has about a thousand million locusts) they devour crops like mahangu almost instantaneously and worse, lay their eggs so that more swarms appear as the eggs hatch in just ten to twenty days with each female laying around 50 eggs at a time.

In this African locust game you are a villager in a Namibian village and have to escape the swarm. Full instructions on how to play are contained on screen.
