African Jungle Games

Jungles cover about 6% of the entire world's landmass and are home to over half of all its species. Taken from the Indian word 'jangala', the term 'jungle' commonly refers to the more impenetrable areas of rainforests such as those in Africa, India, Thailand, China and South America. Millions of animals live in the Africa jungles from leopards to Jungle Elephants, Okapi, the Grey Parrot and Crowned Eagle, chimpanzees, gorillas, Mandrills, baboons, Colobus Monkeys to fish such as the Tiger Fish and other water based wildlife like the Rock Python, Nile Crocodile and several species of poisonous snakes. One of the largest jungle areas in the world is in Madagascar with its spectacular scenery flanked by Madagascan rivers with their huge crocodiles and other wildlife such as the bright red Tomato Frog. The jungle of Madagascar is also home to furry Fossas, the Flying Fox, and the Black Lemur.

Today, the jungle areas of Africa are under threat as the rainforests are being felled for wood, fuel and construction projects. On this page we showcase a number of jungles games designed to give children an awareness of the earth's jungles and encourage them to later explore what the destruction of the jungles and rainforest mean to our planet.
