This seven-part global television event that begins airing November 7 takes viewers on the arduous journeys millions of animals undertake to ensure the survival of their species.

Every spring in Botswana, one of Africa’s largest mass animal movements takes place. Approximately 25,000 zebras leave the lush Okavango Delta (the largest inland delta in the world) to make an imperative voyage into the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Family by family, the stallions lead their mares out of the Delta’s Eden, to make the 150 mile trek into the Pans so their bodies can take in much needed minerals. Their journey includes hundreds of stops at water holes, eventually bringing the zebras back to where they began their pilgrimage in the Okavango Delta.
