Two friends who cycled for four months across Africa said it had been the adventure of a lifetime.
Robin Hutchinson, 24, and Cam Wheeler, 31, who live in Suffolk, set off from Ethiopia in early December heading for South Africa.
They travelled south for more than 10,000km (6,200 miles) through eight other countries as they encountered herds of elephants, welcoming local people and beautiful scenery.
Finishing their adventure in mid-April in South Africa, they raised almost £8,000 for St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich, which had supported Wheeler's brother, as well as a Kenyan cycling initiative, and now both were eager to get back cycling again.
Both men had experience of cycling in Africa and across the world, but had never cycled this far.
