Sudan, 1827. Maki, a young boy, lives under the rule of a French slaver named Moreno. One day, Maki manages to escape. Pursued, he is saved by a giraffe who dies after being shot by Moreno. Her baby, Zarafa, now an orphan, is captured by Hassan, a Bedouin charged with finding a baby giraffe for the Viceroy of Egypt. Maki follows the hunter and eventually wins his sympathy. When they arrive in Alexandria, the Viceroy asks Hassan to take the baby giraffe to France to give as a gift to the French king in order to seal an alliance between the two countries. Hassan and Zarafa fly to Paris in a balloon. Believing he’s left Maki behind, the hunter realizes the child is on board a pirate ship that's following them. After much discussion, Hassan and Maki land in Paris, but their adventures are far from over. ----- Sous un baobab, un vieil homme raconte aux enfants qui l’entourent, une histoire : celle de l’amitié indéfectible entre Maki, un enfant de 10 ans, et Zarafa, une girafe orpheline, cadeau du Pacha d’Egypte au Roi de France Charles X. Hassan, prince du désert, est chargé par le Pacha de conduire Zarafa jusqu’en France mais Maki, bien décidé à tout faire pour contrarier cette mission et ramener la girafe sur sa terre natale, va les suivre au péril de sa vie. Au cours de ce long périple qui les mènera du Soudan à Paris, en passant par Alexandrie, Marseille et les Alpes enneigées, ils vont vivre mille péripéties et croiser la route de l’aéronaute Malaterre, des étranges vaches Mounh et Sounh et de la pirate Bouboulina...
