A giraffe is gearing up for a road trip as it embarks on a journey across the border to her new home.
Iniko the giraffe will hit the roads on Friday morning as she makes her way from Africa Alive near Lowestoft to Banham Zoo.
The move will see the giraffe loaded into a trailer and, with the assistance of some experienced keepers, moved across the region.
Iniko is the first of three giraffes making the move, with the other two joining her after she has settled in.
Deborah Harris, animal manager at Banham Zoo, said: "We are so extremely excited and looking forward to the arrival of Iniko the giraffe to Banham Zoo.

"We are hoping for a smooth move keeping Iniko as happy and as less stressed as possible with keepers and the animal team on hand to assist.
"It will be sad to see Iniko leave Africa Alive and the departure I’m sure will cause a sense of sadness for a little while, but this move is all about the future and the excitement of what’s to come at ZSEA."
