At eleven years old, Martine is orphaned and sent to live with her grandmother on a game reserve in South Africa.

But she has an ally in Tendai - one of the keepers on the reserve, from whom she learns the lore and survival techniques of the bush, and in Grace - who instantly senses there is something special about Martine.
There are secrets about Sawubona Game Reserve just waiting to be revealed, and rumours about a fabled white giraffe.

Above all it's a heart-warming story, full of charm, atmosphere and Martine's sheer delight in her giraffe friend and the fantastic landscape which is theirs to explore.
