As a child, did you ever wonder what life would be like living in the jungle, swinging from branch to branch to reach your treetop hideaway? Thanks to book and movie offerings - think Tarzan and The Jungle Book - you probably did.

Check out these incredible jungle escapes that are on your doorstep.
