Jungle tribe visits Britain
In 2006, Donal travelled the world visiting remote tribes to learn about cultures far removed from our own (for his forthcoming series, 'Edge of Existence').

In Papua New Guinea, Donal encountered the Insect Tribe of Swagap, who live deep in the jungle, far from civilisation. The tribe have a fascination with Britain and the West, and wanted to experience our world at first hand. Now they visit Britain for a fortnight to see a way of life quite unlike their own.
