The journey for the 8 Rothschild giraffes who were being held in a  holding pen for two weeks  finally came to the end yesterday. They were loaded in a lorry  at around mid night  for around five hours  of travel to Roberts’ camp for loading into a boat. Four giraffes were again loaded into a floating vessel propelled by two fibre glass boats on two sides for about an hour to the Ruko island where they will be held in a huge pen for monitoring just before release into their final home. The current holding pen is the true picture of where they will stay as their natural habitat and it is plenty with acacia trees .The giraffes will also be supplied with lucern and water as they get used to this new environment.
