In the last episode of Season 9 the presenters Zietlow and Hartwich announced that the show would return for a 10th anniversary season in January 2016.

In early August 2015 RTL broadcast a spin-off of the show called "Ich bin ein Star, lasst mich wieder rein" ("I am a celebrity, get me back in"), in which contestants of the nine original seasons competed against each other in order to get a chance to participate in the jubilee season. In total nine episodes and a final were shown, in which three contestants of each season took part. In the final the viewers selected the Queen of the Jungle of the 6th season Brigitte Nielsen to return to the show for the upcoming season. The other contestants were announced in early January 2016.

Some new rules were added to the original procedure. For the first time in the show's history 12 participants were announced to compete. The group of contestants was split into two camps with six participants living in each of the camps. Bushtucker duels took place instead of the original bushtucker trials. The season started off with a special on 15 January. Menderes Bağcı was announced as the winner and King of the Jungle of 30 January 2016.

Changes Participants were not housed in advance of the season together at the hotel Palazzo Versace,Dschungelcamp 2016: Das sind die zwölf Kandidaten in der Jubiläumsstaffel In: rtl.de, retrieved, 8 January 2016. but individually in different ones, simple hostels to avoid arrangements. In the course of the candidate flew independently to Australia, and there were a contactless lock, which prohibits, contact via mobile phone.

Moreover, there were two camps, the Base Camp and the camp Snake Rock in the first three days, which competed in the bushtucker trials every day.
