Reviews

The story of Zarafa is an engaging historical account of African-European encounters that should activate the reader's love of the giraffe and help save this incredible, endangered animal. This well-researched book by Olivier Lebleu contributes to our efforts to support global understanding of how wildlife such as the giraffe and people may thrive together. -- Derek Lee and Monica Bond, Wild Nature Institute, Tanzania
