In Zarafa, a little boy and a giraffe embark on a worldwide adventure. Under a tree, an old man tells a story to the children around him. It’s the story of the everlasting friendship between 10-year-old Maki and Zarafa, an orphaned giraffe, intended to be a gift from the Pasha of Egypt to the King of France. When Charles X. Hassan, Prince of the Desert, is instructed by the Pasha to deliver Zarafa to France, Maki makes up his mind to do everything in his power to stop him from fulfilling his mission, and to bring the giraffe back to its native land – even if it means risking his own life. During an epic journey that takes them from Sudan to Paris, passing on the way through Alexandria, Marseille, and the snow-capped Alps, the boy and giraffe have many adventures, crossing paths with an ambitious aviator, a pair of unusual twin cows, and a pirate queen.
