I will probably be shooting in dark places and even at night.

I'd go for something light, durable and versatile - in other words, a "super compact" like my Canon S3is, or the newer S5is.
They're not waterproof, but they're well constructed and have excellent lenses - 12x optical zoom in both cases, image stabilization, great movie mode. A lot of power and features in a very small package.
If you're going to be shooting in the jungle - even at midday - it's going to be very dark. The newer S5 has a hotshoe (S3 does not). You could add a Canon 430 flash and be prepared for just about anything.

You'll either want a fully waterproof camera or one that Ike Lite or Sea & Sea or Ewa Marine offers a waterproof housing for.
Even then you'll have to be aware of possible condensation inside the housing. You'll also need a waterproof flash for dark areas.
