Fire in the Jungle
Written and maintained by Dustin Brandt from 2011 to 2015 (but now seemingly abandoned), the site covers a wide range of jungle themed RPG ideas and real life topics,providing a rich resource to mine for background and supplementary material.
Not only is it full of interesting and relevant posts for the Indicara section of UK6 such as "Making Jungle Travel It's Own adventure" and the in-character "Jungle Travel Tips from Sir Kaukonen" that Tikul would have been well advised to heed, it also has links to collections of refined posts in the form of three PDFs, each filled with 16 pages of densely packed inspiration and tools:
All are available via Magcloud (and the PDFs are *free*).

- (Original) Fire in the Jungle Fantasy RPG Supplement (basic jungle material and ideas)
- Across the Wide Dark Jungle (the "Hungry Jungle" material and expansions)
- Jungle Castle Rock Apocalypse (weird, gonzo style jungle)
All are available via Magcloud (and the PDFs are *free*).
There's a review of the first book over at Tenkar's Tavern and another review here, but I can't find any reviews of the other supplements.
I particularly like the concept behind the "Jungle Event System" of exploration, which has elements more in keeping with the "jungle exploration system" from Shadows of Forgotten Kings than the travel rules from the 5E mega-adventure Tomb of Annihilation.
Addit: there's also a fair bit of material written by Dustin to supplement the 1978 boardgame, The Source of the Nile (see also Aaron Marriner's SoTN PBEM site), including an extensive playlog, several proposed expansions, and links to some articles by Gary Gygax with one of the game's co-creators, David Wesley. Taken together, the game provides an alternative early hexcrawl system and randomised jungle exploration approach for expanded jungle campaigns.
