What does it take to relocate a herd of wild giraffes in Africa? One man, his family and a band of enthusiastic helpers are about to find out.

That’s because these are no ordinary giraffes, they are in fact the world’s rarest. Any mistake could be costly, not only for the giraffes being moved but also for an entire species. Watch online.
