Tarzan was the son of a British Lord and Lady who were marooned on the West coast of Africa by mutineers. When Tarzan was a year old, his mother died of natural causes, and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe into which Tarzan was adopted. Tarzan's tribe of apes was known as the Mangani, Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Kala was his ape mother. Tarzan (White-skin) was his ape name. His English name was John Clayton, Lord Greystoke.
As a young adult, Tarzan met a young American woman, Jane Porter, who along with her father and others of their party were marooned at exactly the same spot on the African coast where Tarzan's parents were twenty years earlier. When she returns to America, he leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. Tarzan and Jane marry and he lived with her for a time in England. They had one son, Jack, who took the ape name Korak ("the Killer"). Tarzan become contemptuous of the hypocrisy of civilization, and he and Jane returned to Africa, making their home on an extensive estate that became a base for Tarzan's later adventures.
With all the tall trees and the vines, can’t you just picture Tarzan swinging through this part of the jungle? Cache has been approved and permit is on file with park staff. Good luck!
