Nature always finds a way to keep things on an even keel, regardless of how difficult it might seem to balance certain ecosystems. Although it is not always pretty and a lot of death must be part of the equation as well, every creature starts with a fair chance of survival, as long as the environment doesn't suffer any immediate and unexpected changes.

Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa is a game that allows you to emulate mother nature and toy with the fragile ecosystems that are part of the African Serengeti, by populating the savannah with a wide range of wild animals. You can also influence the environment directly, by making sure the creatures have enough food and water to survive, as well as the proper numbers to reproduce at a constant rate.

To start things off, you are given the task of populating a watering hole with zebras and flamingos, two of the most iconic animals that live in the African savannah. This tutorial mission also has the role of teaching you the basic mechanics of the game, by showing you how to create the animals and how to gather jewels, which are required in order to be able to add more special objects, such as food or water.

Although hares, zebras and flamingo may not need too much beside a watering hole and a few patches of grass, the game also puts a wide array of other animals at your disposal, which are not that easy to please. Lions, as an example, take their dinner in the form of zebras, which in turn forces you to make sure the ecosystem is always balanced in such a way that both species have enough food and can spare the occasional death.

Since the game requires you to keep an eye on the entire area, the camera features a classic bird-eye view and it allows you to zoom in and out of the action, as well as move anywhere on the map with a simple click. Alternatively, the “Be the Animal” mode provides you with a first-hand look through the eyes of an animal, in order to witness a day in the beautiful Serengeti, along with the dangers every creatures has to face in order to survive.

In the end, Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa is designed in order to keep you playing for as long as possible, especially since the free mode has no time limits. The fact that you always have to take into consideration a wide range of factors when you are populating the savannah gives you plenty to think about, as well as a healthy exercise for your mind.
