No stranger to the thrill of epic challenges, Sean is a seasoned adventurer who has explored oceans deep as a diver and landscapes wide as a cyclist. But, the best adventures are roadmaps to greater purposes; exactly what Sean and Rocky hope to accomplish in Namibia.
“This journey is about more than just the physical challenge; it’s about making a difference,” says Sean on behalf of the duo.
With his own dog by his side, the pair’s desert adventure is guided by a goal to raise R50,000 for Kloof and Highway to help make a lasting impact on the lives of countless animals. The plan is for the funds to be used to sterilise, treat and vaccinate animals in disadvantaged areas.
Every twist and turn of the way is being documented via Instagram @RockysRide. From battling brutal headwinds and thick sand to encountering the otherworldly beauty of the Namib Desert and all the warthogs chased in between (which might’ve been Rocky’s favourite part)—man and his best friend are embracing absolutely all of it.

Already, Sean and Rocky have completed a whopping 830kms.
“The road from Sessriem to Beta has been brutal but spectacularly beautiful,” Sean reflects. Mileage is hard won with the many natural elements at play, but the motivation to push forward continues with each supporter of the cause.
“This has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life,” the adventurer adds. “But the outpouring of support from strangers, the beauty of the Namib Desert, and the cause we’re riding for keeps us going.”
