After the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, a young David Attenborough ventured into entirely new regions of the world.
From Madagascar to New Guinea, the Pacific Islands, and Australia's Northern Territory, Attenborough and his cameraman set out not only to capture the local wildlife but to explore the customs and traditions of the indigenous peoples in these areas—traditions unfamiliar to most of the British audience at the time.
The journey took them from the Pentecost Island land divers and New Guinea’s sing-sings to a Royal Kava ceremony in Tonga and the ancient rituals of Australia's Northern Territory. Along the way, they discovered rare wildlife, including paradise birds, chameleons, and sifakas, in some of the most extraordinary environments on Earth.
Written with Attenborough's trademark warmth, wit, and enthusiasm, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is a one-of-a-kind adventure through unique cultures, remote places, and some of the planet's most fascinating animals.
