Tarzan is a fictional character, so it's not possible to actually become an ape man in the jungles of Africa. If one wished to try, they would have to arrange being raised from late infancy by apes. In West Africa. In the late 19th century.

There have been purported cases in Europe and India of abandoned children who were at least partially raised by wolves (the most famous being Victor, the French "Wild Boy of Aveyron), but they were generally reported to be mentally deficient and unable to truly learn human language.

Jane Goodall has stated in interviews that the Tarzan stories were her earliest inspiration for traveling to Africa and working with apes. She could therefore be considered the only person to have some success in becoming Tarzan, as she was eventually generally accepted by the chimpanzees she was studying, and lived in close proximity to them for years.
