The film features nature cinematography during a year at East Africa's Serengeti plain. The Serengeti is a huge area of grassland in Tanzania. Once a year, in time of drought, animals travel north in order to survive. This "great migration", an event in which millions of wildebeests, zebras, and antelope travel several hundred miles across the plain, while lions and other dangers await them along the way, is considered one of the great wonders of the world.[1]

Hans Zimmer, composer of The Lion King (where Jones lent his voice to Mufasa), contributed to the film soundtrack. Casey followed this film with another nature documentary, Alaska: Spirit of the Wild.
