I dunno, but there's at least one neck on the line if you get it wrong.

in an open air limo

1) "It takes three-to-six months to plan any large animal move, but at 16’ tall, adult giraffes add a new dimension of difficulty. Normally, giraffes are moved when they are young so that their incredible height is less of a factor, but this is not always possible. Even though Jasiri is only one-and-a-half years old and shorter than a full-grown giraffe, she still needs extra leg and neck room that is not available in a typical plane or trailer. So, an expert with an extra tall trailer was brought in for a serious road trip. Ground transports require specialized and experienced partners, too. And giraffes have very specific limo requirements! Jasiri’s ride was truly something to behold, with a movable ceiling, a slip-proof floor, lots of ventilation, extra bedding and leafy food treats to make the tall animals comfy. The giraffe also requires enough space to allow them to turn, lay down, and fully stand. But experienced drivers and navigators are not enough---lots of planning went into the giraffe’s trip from the Chaffee Zoo in California. Their road trip route was scrutinized for low overpasses (many are too low for the truck to pass under) and zoo trees were trimmed to give the big rig access to Jasiri’s new home in Habitat Africa: The Savannah!"

Road transport (according to the South African Standard SANS 10331): Use crates specially designed for the transportation of giraffe. Giraffe should only be transported by competent and experienced capture teams."

Transport options for taller giraffe are by road or by sea or often both.  All giraffe being transported will require a custom built transport crate or trailer.  Crate training and familiarization, will reduced stress on the traveling animal.  Additional stress during transit must be kept to a minimum; this may involve avoiding excessive noise, lights, unfamiliar visitors and stable temperatures.  Giraffe should not be transported in extremes of heat or cold, the use of crate covers and tarpaulins can help prevent cold draughts.  Checking of respiration rate during transportation is a good indicator of stress levels, and ruminating is a good indicator of a relaxed giraffe."
