Birds hold cultural memory.

Some of them move thousands of miles every year.

We set out to listen to the knowledge, traditions and stories birds inspire across continents.

And we connected with as many people as we could.

Birds show us the way, and we follow. We created many experiences on location, so people could understand why we were there and experience what we'll bring anywhere we go.

What is a flyway?

A flyway is a road in the sky: the route millions of birds follow between where they breed and where they spend the winter.

Wonder Across Continents

The last stretch · 2027 · Angola · Namibia · Botswana · South Africa, to Cape Town

In February 2026 malaria and dengue stopped Axel in Angola, just before one of the great crossroads of migration. Down there, flyways meet: birds from other continents share the sky, alongside some of the most extraordinary cultures and wildlife on Earth.

We’re going back to finish the journey. Through Namibia’s Zambezi Region, the former Caprivi Strip, into Botswana’s Okavango Delta, and down the full length of South Africa to Cape Town.

We set off again in January 2027.

Which birds will we find? What stories will they lead us to?

We need to finish it to have the full picture.
