Devastating bushfires are currently raging in Australia.

This is one of the reasons why some people don't really want to believe that the jungle camp is actually filmed in the jungle, but in a studio. Burning forests and houses as well as dying animals - we see these terrible videos and photos again and again, and many people are wondering whether there is even room for such a program in such a situation.

But back to the original question: Is the 2020 jungle camp perhaps not taking place in Australia, but in the Tropical Islands?

No. This claim has been around for years, every season of camp. Even if, according to Tropical Islands, it would be possible due to space. Our fact check here .

The filming location is really in the jungle!

At least on the edge of the jungle, 120 kilometers from Brisbane. The filming location of the jungle camp is private property and is rented by the producing companies so that the respective camps can take place there

The jungle camp 2020 will take place despite criticism.

Several politicians are currently calling for the RTL jungle camp, which runs from January 10th. will take place until January 25th, 2020, but RTL will still broadcast it. The filming location will not be moved either because the bushfires are hundreds of kilometers away.

The only upcoming change is that there will no longer be a campfire due to the severe forest fires. Instead there will be a gas-powered fire. Smokers are only allowed to smoke in the middle of the camp, and cigarette butts must be thrown into a lockable box. In addition, for the first time, no live animals will be eaten during the jungle tests!

Dr. Bob, the “doctor” in the camp, is affected by the forest fires himself!

The popular camp doctor from the jungle camp revealed to RTL that he had to evacuate his home in Kangaroo Valley.
Since all he can do now is wait and see, he is already looking forward to the upcoming jungle camp. A note at this point: Robert McCarron aka. Dr. Bob is not a real doctor, but rather a paramedic, wildlife biologist and nurse.

These twelve candidates will move into the jungle camp in Australia on January 10th, 2020:

  • Sonja Kirchberger (actress, “The Venus Trap”)
  • Sven Ottke (boxing world champion)
  • Anastasiya Avilova (“Temptation Island”)
  • Claudia Norberg (Michael Wendler's ex)
  • Markus Reinecke (“The Super Dealers”)
  • Elena Miras (“Summer House of the Stars”)
  • Antonia Komljen/Toni Trips (DSDS candidate)
  • Daniela Büchner (widow of Jens Büchner, “Summer House of the Stars”)
  • Günther Krause (former Federal Transport Minister, CDU)
  • Marco Cerullo (“Bachelor in Paradise”)
  • Prince Damien (DSDS winner from 2016)
  • Raul Richter (ex-GZSZ actor)

RTL also spoke up about this. TZ.de writes:

“We are closely following the dramatic situation in Australia,” said a spokesman for the station when asked by the German Press Agency. “The area where the jungle camp is located in Australia is not affected by the bushfires. It is also almost impossible for the fires to reach the jungle camp area.” The show, which starts on January 10th, will therefore be able to take place as planned – just without a campfire and without candles.
