Congo Bongo

Description:

There's trouble in the jungle!.

Safari Sam a fearless explorer, seems to have met his match in Bongo, a shrewd ape.
Bongo's favorite pastime is trying to bonk Sam with coconuts, and our hero is mad!.
While Bongo is getting his kicks, Sam tries to get in his licks as he mounts an expedition for revenge !.

Sam's first encounter with Bongo is at Waterfall Pass.
Here, the coconut-flinger is at the top of a series of dangerous cliffs.
Sam's got to climb these cliffs, cross a rickety bridge and jump a treacherous chasm to put a stop to this nonesense !.
There's plenty of monkeying around as clever chimps try to slow Sam's progress.
He's got to jump hard to shake them off !.
Whem Sam reaches Bongo, that wily ape takes off for another part of the jungle: Rhino Ridge.
At Rhino Ridge, sam is confronted with ferocious charging rhinos.
The only way he can avoid them is by jumping over them or ducking into mole holes.
When at last he climbs to Bongo's retreat, Bongo makes tracks for lazy Lagoon.

Lazy Lagoon is Bongo's last defense.
Sam's work is cut out for him; in order to reach Bongo, he's got to cross the Lagoon by any means available.
He must hopscotch his way across, jumping to and from lily pads, small islands diving hippos and biting fish.
When he reaches the opposite bank, there are more charging rhinos to be avoided.
If Sam can make it to Bongo this time, the playful ape gets his just desserts !.

There's danger and adventure aplenty for spunky Sam, and loads af laughs for you as you help him make his way to Congo Bongo,
the jungle adventure with charm and challenge !.
