Lex Barker returns for what was billed as the first Tarzan movie to be filmed in Africa although most of the production was in California. The cast also included Virginia Huston (the ninth Jane and her only Tarzan film) and Dorothy Dandridge as Melmendi, Queen of the Ashuba. The film was also exhibited in Great Britian under the title Tarzan and the Jungle Queen and there was a brief recreation of a scene being filmed in the 1999 television movie Introducting Dorothy Dandridge.

Plans to make the movie in Technicolor were discarded when footage was ruined while on location in Africa. Regarding the location filming, Lex Barker recalled: "We just were not prepared for location conditions. Local natives were rounded up, and the first time I appeared in my loincloth, they burst out laughing. It was demoralizing."
