Challenge4ACause 2013 – In Photos

The Reunion Ride

Our team of 18 intrepid riders have just returned from this year’s Challenge4ACause. They came back beaming – not just because they’d made it unscathed but because the Namibian desert really is a place of beauty.

Thanks to their sweat, tears and achy muscles, we’ve managed to raise money for Save The Rhino Trust and other charities. It’s not too late to make a donation to help conserve Africa’s animals! Read more about this year’s event here.

When not in the saddle, the riders managed to snap some shots of their epic desert adventure – take a look below. Click to enlarge. You’re sure to want to see it up close and for yourself though….!

The team spotted plenty wildlife en route, including antelope, zebra, giraffe, oryx and elephant. They heard hyenas close to their campsite at night, but saw no predators. The big cats must’ve been on lunch…
