Summary:

Animals are great wanderers, making epic journeys on land, through the air or beneath the ocean. This series follows six individual animals on a maiden voyage in the ultimate travel show. Each film is packed with action and adventure in the most spectacular of settings. A tiny swallow flies from rural England to tropical Botswana, a new-born Caribou calf treks across the Tundra, a Monarch butterfly flutters across North America, an eel swims the depths of the Pacific, and a grey whale makes an annual round-trip through tropical and polar seas. This episode follows a Swallow on its first migration from Southern England, across the Sahara to South Africa - a journey of 6,000 miles which only 1 in 5 birds survive.
