Zarafa (A Giraffe) died in 1845, her extraordinary journey came to an end.

Zarafa is famous for her grueling trek from what is now southern Sudan to Paris, along the way becoming the first giraffe to set foot on French soil. As the crow flies, this is a distance of almost 5000 km. But Zarafa’s itinerary was far from straight-forward, being carried on the back of a camel, sailing down the Nile to Alexandria, then across the Mediterranean in a larger vessel, before walking from Marseille to Paris.
