Military men in Togo take my camera 🇹🇬 |S7E58|

- Опубліковано 19 сер 2023
- In this episode I am exploring the mountains of Togo, West Africa. It's a beautiful area and the motorcycling is amazing here. The rainy season has started though, so I need to find some shelter to hide from a storm, but after that I continue to go and see a waterfall. A few kilometers before the waterfall, there is a roadblock and they do not like my helmet camera.

As tense as the interaction with the military men was, the highlight of the video was her discussion with the lady in the wheelchair. Noraly has such a gentle soul.
I agree. Quite a contrast.
Well said.
I love the dress that lady was wearing too, such beautiful colours. Sometimes a simple conversation with someone can brighten anyone's day, we should all try to do that wherever we are :)
wtf!
Exacto, es una dama especial
Sometimes the best (and safest) way to visit some of the exotic places is through the lens of Noraly's camera .
Agreed. I would have been shot by now. Not that I would deserve it either, just my luck with hostile territory.
👍👍
If you always want to feel safe, i have a padded cell for you. You will be fed three times daily and you will never feel unsafe again.
@@TwoFingeredMamma is that where you type your _fascinating_ opinions from?
@@JeffGatto I thought that was everyone else. Didn't they all just volunteer to stay at home and wear a nappy on their face for over a year, then get pricked with toxic depop juice.
The moment 2 women sat together talking..2 strangers from 2 different worlds..something very spiritual and beautiful
Just 2 bodies talking nothing spiritual going on
@@mementomori5374If you see it that way almost nothing is spiritual on that earth
We are not racist in West Africa
@@LeRebel793 who mentioned racism..only you and had to spoil it
Yeah.. that was surely wholesome
No wonder why is Netherlands' national football team are strong. What a tough and brave woman 💪🏿
I'm African but would never have the guts to travel alone like this? I'm both amazed and inspired by your bravery
Congrats, you've been brainwashed by western media.
Thats the dutch People. Known for exploring and travelling. From centuries they do it. Not afraid of anything
For real … I mean the stories I hear alone then traveling unless I’m fully Armed and skilled but with that I will still want to have at least a crew of five to travel with
This is why Africa moves backwards faster than forwards
@@russkle2042 lol I don’t think this is about that … Africans treat white differently and besides that we know ourselves…just like the same way if you go to a foreign land that you have no idea of… because you might have a good perception of the people you would likely do certain things because of what believe and how perceive the people there especially if you believe the people are welcoming to your race
Actually quite surprised that this is the first time you’ve had issues with cameras and the police in Africa.
Luckily for her, Noraly can keep her cool. Usually a few smiles get her through. This video, she wasn't smiling. Except possibly internally, as she knew her 360° camera was filming everything. They just weren't smart enough to know what technology Noraly had.
Well, it was worse than the police. It was the army. And there's one thing you don't want the army to do: interfere with civilian life.
One of the guys even had an eye on her navigation aide.
yea 7 0r 800 dollars@@pinoyheartbeat7245
perhaps they hide their faces and are afraid of cameras maybe they are members of their own and killed Ukrainians in the Wagner PMCs group and now they are on leave in Africa
I was really worried for your safety when that guy grabbed your camera, it was the way he ripped it from your hand, it looked like a nasty situation, and the look on your face told me you were also worried. I'm glad it ended well and you got your camera back and you were unharmed. You have a lot of balls for a lady, be safe.
very rude of that guy who took your camera very rude stay safe Noraly good luck on your travels.
He just wanted to see the next episode of Noraly before we get to see it ;-)
@@l.d.t.6327 🤣
Hi Noraly, I’m watching all your episodes in a non-chronological way, but you know what …. it doesn’t make a difference because every episode is an adventure on it’s own! You are so amazing, humble and open-minded and showing respect to everyone you encounter, even if they treat you not fair all the time. But because you show how you are, you have, or better you get, a lot of respect back! Also I admire the way you are enjoying your trip all by yourself and your resilience and humour are beyond the normal standards! Thank you again for sharing all the beautiful moments of your trip through Africa!! 🙏🏼
You're leaving a legacy. Most of us don't leave anything behind. Your videos are documenting the world we live in and never see.
Sim
So true !!!
100th like!
Some plastic may be?
You don't need to travel to leave a "legacy". How you live your life and treat others is how you will be remembered. We all are legacies.
Military: "Give your camera. I want to see what you filmed."
Noraly: "No sir, you have to wait for Sunday's episode, just like everyone else."
Lol😂
Love your reaction
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
As an African hailing from East Africa, specifically Kenyan, who is addicted to your channel, this is so exotic and raw. I would have sworn that places like this do not exist. Thank you! @itchy boots. Also there is something relaxing with the way you talk, approach people, and your spirit. It's a bliss. Good luck in your safari, creating these gems for us!
wow Hi
🇦🇺
@@evah787 Hi Ever
Wow, happy to hear from my fellow Kenyan❤❤❤
Love watching this lady and her exploits. Learning more about each country that she passes through and the people. Learning more than what the television nature programmes show. Absolutely amazing.
Noraly, you are so brave. The interaction with the person who wanted to take your camera would have spooked me. Instead you remained calm and courteous. Your winning smile softens hearts of the most arrogant. You are amazing. Be safe.
i think she knows the risk . west africa is actually not really safe
@@jacolyns539
So Zen. 😌
I can't find the words for you and your amazing spirit towards all mankind. ❤ I have done my share of Solo backpacking in Europe and the Middle East and northern africa where you started this journey over the last 5 years. Just enough to appreciate how special you are. Oh, to join you for a day or two would be an honor. Bill in the US.
Ignorance is bliss.
no creo señora haya sido arrogante, sino que esta haciendo su trabajo, nada mas se dijo sobre ese control y pq pidió la cámara, hay que respetar la autoridad de otros paises.
I can see that Noraly is an experienced traveller especially in tough places to travel, she keeps all opinions and negative comments on security issues to herself, because she knows her camera can always be used against her in such places, we look forward to the days of stress free travel in Africa.
Smart.
our grand grand grandchildren may live in those days.
@@Torres-tw3ic *_ NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, EVER.... As a person living in Africa my whole life that when you give a "Local" either a uniform or a machine gun they BECOME THE LAW as opposed to REPRESENT THE LAW! _*

👌👌👌
This is such an amazing vlog on so many levels. Your spirit of adventure, your bravery, your friendliness and most of all your composure in difficult situations is amazing! I salute you Madame!! ❤😊
I'll cry if I think about the time it will take me to see all those beutiful places on my own. And also for those who will never have the fortune or the guts to go out there and wander like our fellow traveller here. big respect for being so brave.
Noraly is completely at the mercy of people wherever she goes (she's certainly not helpless, but she is only one person), and so many of us care for her, but can do nothing to help from our seats (the only comfort is, the event happened about a month ago, and the video is up, so we know she is ok). So....stay safe, Noraly!
How do you know the event happen about a month ago, that is July 20th ?
@goodman4093 because on one episode a while back, someone said that they knew about a certain tree that Noraly visited (the Cotton Tree, maybe?) was now gone, so she must have seen it just before it blew down, approximately a month before the video was released.
Also, Noraly herself says she delays them to help prevent people from tracking and following her (she said this during her interview in England in July, I believe).
Fame has its costs.
@@ZackaryMac yeah ABR said she confirmed last minute she can come and be a speaker, and a few weeks later we saw videos about her waiting for parts in Abidjan for 10 days, so I'm guessing that was when that happened, big break in travelling + in a relatively big hub.
This is stupid to go there. No fun and something worst can happen in a minute.
@@podunkman2709 calm down! africa is generally safe. In fact, Safer than blacks strolling in white neighbourhoods
One thing you DON'T take from a film maker: Her ability to tell a story and earn a living. Especially one of the greatest film makers/videographers on UA-cam. ☹
are you that naïve?
I’m still unsure what they were even looking for or what law she was suspected of violating. Seemed like just some power hungry thugs with guns to me. When more showed up and she was basically surrounded by men with guns it was starting to look pretty scary.
A moment which could have gone wrong but it didn`t thank goodness, keep safe Noraly. xx
The culprits looking over her camera are concerned about being on video themselves. Individuals that are wanted can be found by those looking for them in content such as this. Noraly is not capturing them intentionally but is providing valuable intelligence just the same
@@robe4314 Man This is Africa, deep Africa, and you talk about Law? You see the big gun he is holding in his arms. I'v bin there even work there. Nope they will never see me again there. And you know what. The people with no power, no friends on high places, no friends by the police, those "normal" people are so friendly, so nice.
Noraly you are an incredible person.
We need more like you in this world.
Person😝
Thanks for been sooo patient with the camera issue... You're a SUPER HERO. I really appreciate the way you've been able to handle that situation with care and maturity. Have you seen the "STAR" within the Togolese Flag??? That's exactly what you are next to me. M. World. ,❤❤💪🏿💪🏿❤❤👊🏿👊🏿
My South African friend always said ‘Mother Africa is beautiful, but she can bite’.
Thankfully you negotiated the situation superbly 🙏
In fact, a situation like that could also end up with one suddenly finding oneself in a prison or in a security cell and being mistaken for maybe some “spy” or something like that. But this could of course also happen somewhere else.
@@aris1956 that can happen anywhere in the world depending on the circumstances, it can happen even in Canada or America if you where filming the police putting down a demonstration. In Mauii Island in Hawaii, police stopped cars fleeing fire areas,and disrupted aid workers from helping civilians, Google it .horrible things happen ALL over the world if you look deeply enough.
To be fair, people get stopped for filming by the police or army pretty much anywhere in the world. Loads of examples on UA-cam.
In this case Mother Africa had nothing to do with it africans had to do with it.
That smile on her face when leaving these “cops” behind with most of her camera’s still running 😂
Yep. I loved how they pointed at everything she was wearing and demanding to see what it filmed even if it wasn't a camera, meanwhile an actual camera goes unnoticed and is recording the entire event.
"Lemme see camera!"
"That's my GPS."
"I want to see what you filmed with that!"
"That's not a camera either. That's my flashlight."
"Show us recordings of that!"
"Not a camera. That is my watch."
"That! Show me!"
"That's my boot."
"See video!"
"Front tire."
"Show!"
"Rock."
Yeah. Those guys were all over it.....except for the camera still recording.
Don't tell my gf, but I'm actually a little in love with Noraly. I melted at the smile she gave us after she completed stepstoning the little river during the hike.
@@nielshaitsma How dare you 😋👍.
@@nielshaitsma im telling
"cops"
Itchy boots! How I wish I had itchy boots like hers. I doff my hat for this lady, she’s so bold, brave, courageous and undaunted. Hope to meet her one day to tap into her source of inspiration. May the Lord God watch over and keep her cheerful. 😊❤🎉. Bravo!.
You are one brave women travelling right across Africa all on your own, amazing and thanks for posting your amazing Videos.
Amazing Video, As a togolese, very sorry for this incident with the military, " They did not even know that the insta 360 is a camera and they mistakenly thought the GPS tablet is a video recorder" What they were afraid of was finally done. Happy to realize at the end that, this did not affect your day.. Keep it up!!!
Yep, I'm glad they gave her back her camera, I can't understand what they were thinking...creates a bad impression of Togo and Africa...I'm glad our military in South Africa respect tourist....🇿🇦
I don't think they thought the tablet was a camera, I believe they thought it was connected to the camera and wanted her to show them the camera's content though the tablet.
Thank God Noraly is a very brave and strong woman, I was worried for their next move...but I could also see her been surprised by their reactions...
Dont be sorry atleast they are doing their work to protect the country
Wonder what is so secret in that country for them to want to scrutinize content of her camera?
It's pure bullying and makes them feel important and through that demonstrating their ignorance and lack of intellect.
Noraly, what a fright. I'm Mozambican and I always follow you here. On my own behalf and on behalf of Africans in general, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by our military brothers in Togo. Best wishes for continued excellent experiences. Cheers!
Nothing to apologized here
Togo immigration are always like this because of the dictatorship there
Ya, no need to pull it off her hand like that ..she is not armed nor an enemy.
this guys no brothers
No need to apologize. a-holes are everywhere. It's quite dramatic to try and apologize on behalf of a whole continent 😅
Viva Moçambique, a área controladas por rebels e não são seguras but some people here are pushing it off like is something normal. Africa is a peaceful place, few bad apples thou.
I am in awe of you... Love your episodes. Such a talented, courageous woman. Thank you, stay safe.
I didn't knew and since 3 days ago i have watched all your season 7, its better than any serie on netflix... Is incredible. 100% worth my time, looking foward to see your next videos. Alaska is doing pretty well gogo Honda 🙏👍 have nice a safe Trips.
Even when the soldier and the other subject treat her badly and take her camera away, Noraly does not emit any insults.
Remarkable
Yeah, Noraly is a real lady with an university degree and a good upbringing by solid parents
Insulting a soldier in that situation would be the most stupid thing to do.
... Do you not see the machine gun? What are you thinking?
@@evoermine Totally agree, that's like making a difficult situation even worse to insult someone carrying a machine gun!
Who the heck would do that in a place where you have no rights.
Noraly you've got more balls than most guys (including me)going through Africa by yourself, I really salute and admire your perseverance
Africa is not what you think when you are in West! you come and witness it! the problem is the west media which portray it as a continent of violence and poverty! you shall be aware of it when we progress ahead of some of the west parts! things are already on a good track dear! a mere scene like this wouldnt let you judge Africa as a continent where foreigners walk as if they are walking over eggs!! africa are naturally born social, receptive and with a great of sense of empathy( because of the way we value our extended family). Most of the conflicts you see and hear on TVs are elaborated on the Western tables!
@@ntakirutimanavalens4412 I never meant to offend you and I never meant that Africa is a bad place it's just dangerous in certain parts , Africa is infact one of the most beautiful and richest continents which the white came n plundered and enslaved them. I'm Indian British came took our shit and left after 100 years .
yeah really makes me angry. I'll never go there. @@ntakirutimanavalens4412
@@ntakirutimanavalens4412Well said. "Extended values"...
It´s cose...She has beautifull blue eyes! :O)
You are a brave lady, totally respect and thank you for sharing your recordings.
Caps off girl, you are brave. I saw your video once and I was a fan already, I have watched all of them as of today. You gat a heart of steel 🙌🏿
That was a sharp reminder of how quickly things can go wrong!
You handled the situation well, staying calm and polite, PHEW!
Noraly keeps her cool under the most diverse situations. Impressive. An important characteristic for world travel.
hi Noraly, short ride but an interesting day….The lady with the fruit shop was so sweet, reminded me of my mother in fact.
I got the feeling the guy in the red shirt was in charge at the checkpoint. That looked a bit scary. They were just like the military everywhere really. Turned out they were pretty professional. You handled that well as usual mate.
That was some lovely waterfall. And cheers to the great people and beautiful countryside of Togo.
jakg
Yep.
I could never be that cool under such circumstances :)
Did you mean under a "hostile situation?"
Nothing hostile there. The military guys were doing their job. If an Isis-looking person was traveling through the country side of the US, the cops would definitely stop him and ask vital questions including scanning through his camera for security purposes.
Im glad you got your camera back Noraly! I wanted to say hi, and thanks for taking a drone with you, and getting the awsome ariel film, that adds a bit of ariel perspective to your videos😊
what always amazes me about u is d way u handle situation with chuckles and smiles.
I give it to you lady, you have balls doing what you are doing on your own as a female. Huge respect!!
yeah till something happens then shes a victim fine line
she does have balls!
Maybe no one told her abt Africa she shud take it easy cos even we African here can’t du dat if I where her I will neva remove my helmet and I will not go alone the grace of the lord be with her and white race that race will forever be ahead of blacks
she is ballless bro 😜 that's why she don't scare of anything.
It has got not nothing to do being a female. It is worse for a black man on his own. Being a white woman is an advantage. Even in Africa where tend to protect foreigner compared to europeans who each black man as a threat
Heart stopping moment with those military guys. Thank goodness you got your camera back. Other than that incident, Togo is a beautiful country. Fabulous drone footage! 👌
Not military. Self appointed thugs
@@holmes1956O whether they're real military or just thugs, believe me in that situation you're at their mercy. I've traveled overland through Africa and been in highly stressful situations with several armed guys surrounding our vehicle - you're immediately intimidated. Been asked for ridiculous bribes etc, outright. Although you're at their mercy, you still need to keep your head, be cordial and do as they ask in order to drive away safely. It's tricky as hell and super stressful. Noraly did really well.
@@bridgetedwardsmentalhealth409 I live in Africa, born and raised, this incident made my blood boil….
Having a gun and wearing camo doesn't make you a military man. Militaristic yes, military no. Scary stuff! I will never forgive you, Noraly, if something terrible happens to you...Please stay safe. Love you!
they are not true military btw , maybe reservist@@Valcour
Again you’re an incredibly brave woman. I totally admire your bubbly personality and respect your courage. You’re really doing a great jo job. May God be with you always
I am highly impressed by your bravery. Keep it up Noraly and be careful.
You got balls travelling alone in those parts of the world...great video as always!
Um metaphorical balls.
Brass ovaries, I'd say.
and some good guardian angels

@@srl9727😂😂😂
If you notice she was completely silent about the event with the military afterwards.
Yes, I was wondering what it was all about
Best not to say too much. What if she has to come back that way? Plus she likes to keep it positive.
So the commander is wearing a football jersey 🤔
Something happens and she only edited what was appropriate of course. But she is amazing woman travel around the world . Great job Noraly
@@briangilliland3620 WAR zone
Ive seen almost all of your videos, for the love of GOD you are a very strong and a courageous woman, traveling all over that dangerous places. Keep doing, regards from Albania Nora.
It goes well and good for thousands of times i hope it will not go completly wrong one time this women is a gem
THAT was a scary moment....your camera and GPS almost confiscated.....but well done Noraly for staying calm throughout the encounter.....a non confrontational approach is always the best policy !! Waterfall was magnificent......you are truly blessed Noraly !
Exactly
Noraly handled the situation very well!
What an intense episode! The camera near-confiscation had me holding my breath, thankfully the Insta 360 went unnoticed. The drone's view of the Togo mountains was breathtaking, and the waterfall hike was pure wanderlust.
Well said. And Indeed it was intense!
My first thought when Noraly switched to the launch of the drone was to show the policemen they can't contain her and she wanted us to forget the negative and continue to see the beauty!
And the GoPro near her left hand as well lol
Just when I think one place in Africa is so beautiful you show another that is just as lovely. The people here seem amazing as well. ❤
why not try ghana, anytime you wanna vist africa
Wonderful voyage, really awestruck by your stability, no where you look tired, regretful, really hats off to you ma'am, lots of ❤, health n strength 🙏
Military: "Give your camera. I want to see what you filmed."
Noraly: "No sir, you have to wait for Sunday's episode, just like everyone else." 😂
I'm glad it all sorted out ok.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
That's awesome 😂
That's witty 😅
How do some people get likes in the hundreds when mine clocks back to zero once I reach a 100 likes?
Funny comment btw 😂
Rudely snatches the camera 😡 Tsk tsk tsk but Noraly's demeanor is commendable. A good example of calm under pressure.
Like Honduras, a military with a country.
yes you can not push back
@@gordonhall9871 I pushed back against the corrupt police at the border in Honduras, and nearly ended up in a gun fight, very scary situation.
he likely took the camera home with him. She is fortunate they didn't take everything of value she has.
@@yoyohooyo No they looked at the video content, and gave it back, but you are right about the risk of theft.
You are so brave. I travelled most of Europe and New Zealand on my moto. Including your home country, by myself. I gained a wonderful education and made so many friends, including being invited to ride with some of the most dangerous. Maori Hells Angels in NZ, white Hells Angels in Germany & Hispanic Hells Angels in Spain. I never once felt threatened. Biking is such a common ice breaker.
I suppose it helped that I was an Irishman with a smile. I recommend it to everyone.
Keep doing what you are doing.👍🇮🇪
Noraly is a very brave and extraordinary woman, she stays calm in all difficult and almost unsolvable situations, I am impressed, stay safe and warm welcome from Ukraine, thank you for showing us so beautiful places where not every person will ever be able to come )
That was quite scary. I am from South Africa and I know how dangerous policemen and military men for that matter can be especially if they think no-one is watching
You can expect a similar treatment by the Khaki taliban here in India too.
It's the same across all third world countries AFAIK!
yeap..and also the indian police killing the muslim..
wait, have you ever had an encounter with the military in South Africa?
@@tebogomaleka9602 Our military in South Africa treat tourists well....Noraly travelled through South Africa and never had a problem....🇿🇦
Sometimes I fear for your safety, Noraly. Ride safe and thx again for a great episode.
Happy Tours Africa wishes you a safe journey in Togo. Greetings from UGANDA
Thanks for sharing the waterfall with us. So beautiful! Well worth the climb.
How many times have we seen Noraly get in some situations that make us Nervous and Worried about her safety.
In the end Her cheerful and outgoing personality always prevails saves the day!
@FITNESSOVER45 so nice of you to point out this negative possibility. Sometimes it's just better to say nothing at all.
" Give me that camera ! " . " Here " . Give me that camera ! " " That is not a camera , it's a GPS . " " GIVE ME THAT CAMERA ! ! ! " " That is a GPS , not connected :o) " .
All captured on the camera right in their face .
Happiness is video documentation . Mad respect .
Yes incredible they had no concern over the 360 camera and other GoPro. She one-upped them for sure! She is awesome.
I really love your videos. As an African i have only been to three countries and this makes me appreciate the beauty of this continent. On the side i apologize for the bad treatment you get at our border points. I am sorry about that. But please remember the beauty and kindness of the good people you meet.
Thank you for bringing us all these beautiful images!!!
As a native born African, you are so brave to be travelling on a motor bike through Togo.
Adventurous and naive
@@tomevers6670like she can’t be touched 😒

more like stupid 🤣
why she put her life in danger ?? doing these trips
The conversation with the woman at the peanut stand, warms my heart. 👍
This lady is a warrior princess. Great footages always
It's her laughter for me. So lively and lovely. Hola when in Kenya.
Staying calm and thinking your way through different situations has kept you safe. Admirable. Magnificent Scenery.

I genuinely worry about your safety many times. I can't believe honestly this is the first time you've had camera equipment confiscated in all of the countries you have visited. Godspeed Norly!
Got enough people on the bounty now to make sure it never happens again. My boy is going to learn a lesson soon in keeping to yourself and not enforcing your will onto others.
@@konsumeryikes!😮
🤔 not really “confiscated” as she got it back after checking 😉 no drama at all 🤷🏻♀️
Am also a biker from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪. You inspire me alot. It's now 14months since I started following you on UA-cam.
Represented 🇰🇪
Nairobi is impatient for Noraly's arrival
Kube tuko wengi
🇰🇪
Watching a video like this shows that we the right leadership no child should sleep hungry in Africa
If it was me, I would’ve wanted to leave the country and not give any of my tourist dollars to the country that had police that tried to bully and intimidate me (they were incredibly intimidating) you, as we all know, are a better person than I and I’m glad I get to travel with you thank you again Noraly
Breathtaking views on the ride through the mountains and the stunning drone shots could not be spoiled by the scary stop by the military. The beautiful waterfall was well worth the hike. We learn so much from you Itchy Boots, thank you!
Wow thanks for beautiful video. Togo is a very beautiful place to visit it’s my mother country as well.
In most places, young people who lack sharpness and wit are recruited into the military, where they undergo training to become rough and impolite. Noraly's skillful handling of the uncomfortable and awkward situation with calmness and poise has earned considerable admiration.
"Young" is the wrong word. "Uneducated" is the word. These men don't understand their job and training so they abuse the power of their gun. They most likely had very basic formal education. A lot of soldiers in poorer African countries are not very well educated. Such systems (governments) are not very functional so soldiers are not disciplined in cases like these.
ask americans who made check points in the middle east. They shoot anybody who's speeding towards the checkpoint, strip people to their butt and search them unlawfully. Not only cameras, if you can live through it, you're lucky. I'm sick and tired of everybody pointing fingers at africans, like if this only happen in Africa, like if so many people went through check points with no problem. If really Africa is that bad an unarmed white woman wouldn't have stood a chance here. Many people cycle through here with no problems. If you don't want to deal with the military checkpoints, don't come to a continent that mostly ruled by military.
@@aberba Yeah for sure especially the guy with the black T shirt was very rude. I speak French fluently and understood everything he said. That Guy lack good manners
Most likely the big bully of the bunch. The strongman.
You’re making assumptions, especially not knowing what the political issues are in that country.
You are a brave women, much respect how you travel and carry yourself . I wish you the best in your Travels !!
Hello courageous Woman! It is an amazing journey, with breathtaking views and nerve-racking encounters, I am glad you got your camera back. Stay safe, HUGS 👻
Noraly مغامرة صبورة و هادئة و تتصرف بحكمة و شجاعة نادرة.... تحياتي لك من إقليم النواصر الجميل 🇲🇦💚🇲🇦
OMG! I was holding my breath when they stopped you and demanded your camera. The fact there were so many men, surrounding you, and getting closer to you, had me holding my breath. I am so thankful they realized you meant no harm and allowed you to leave safely. The country side and people you have been meeting have been absolutely beautiful and so pleasant. Prayers for your continued safe jouney.
At least they didn't ask her to marry them.
@@davidmende4438 LOL!! Like all the others were doing! HA--HA-HA! She sure got a lot of offers of proposals.
Wow, I'm absolutely captivated by your wonderful videos. Such amazing footage! What an amazing woman!!
This episode is why I worry about Noraly so much. Her inner strength, patience, and confidence is off the charts though. Definitely one in a billion.
I can't get over how not afraid of heights Noraly is. I could not have walked up that steep wall towards that waterfall. Noraly so brave.
I was also afraid that she wouldn't get her camera back. Glad it worked out well. Love this trek
It looked a bit dodgy getting up there..... getting back down would have concerned even a more
@@mickymidnight1 Quite! That wouldn't have been me. I smiled at how quickly that guide walked ahead of her. "His job was only to show her where it was and how to go back." 🤭🤫
Take care Noraly, safety first. Don't go to near conflict areas. 🤞🏼🙏🏼
You are marvellous
Brave and confident.
Really enjoy your touring and travel in your company
What an incredible brave woman you're. You're so lovely! As an African must say proud of you 👍
Don't know your future plan but I can only hope that you also hit the road towards east Africa especially Eritrea ❤
I must also have to admit that you're making me feel itchy to hit the road like you before I die😊
That was a tense moment, I thought you were going to lose you gopro. I love the fact that they had no idea that the 360 camera was still filming them. Victori was a sweet lady and even with your broken french you managed to communicate well. The uphill hike to the waterfall was worth the effort I'm sure you would agree.
Well said 👏

Thank you for sharing your world with us. By doing so, you make our world a better place.
Are you think about travel to africa
You are amazing!! I look forward to following your journey.
Man you got balls of steel. I’d avoid a lot of these countries due to safety concerns. Especially as a woman.
Just Thank You! Thank you for showing me the world, the beautiful views, the cultures, the histories, the geology and the geography. Thank you for your focus!!! Anything I see that does not sit well with me, I can figure it out on my own. Your videos speak volumes. You are amazing. I know I never would have seen these places without you sharing on your channel. For me, it is humbling.
I lived in Africa for 15 years with military escort between camp and airport and could have never imagined to be on my own anywhere. Noraly is one among the bravest woman on this planet. God bless you always on your travels!
As an contractor you should not always see problems then you cant live my play grounds been west africa when you get africa in your blood then you cant get it out ( i have my Guns in one contry in west africa the bank ) 🤣
Can you guys stop generalisation. Mention the name of the country instead of the continent because some countries in West African are extremely safe . In Gambia, we have a lot of expatriates, mostly from England, but they need no guard or gun to go about their business. I believe the same for Senegal, Ghana, etc etc
Africa is a lot safer than a lot of other western countries. Its the people who make a place safe not the place itself
I been in Senegal and Gambia and they are safe but they can also start cooking in the pot😆
@@janeriksson4199 what do you mean start cooking in the pot?
Well done & you do it all in good spirits & always a lovely smile.
Love following 🇦🇺👍😊
Brave, intelligent, resilient 💪 very strong Lady. Thanks.
Hi Noraly. Of course I'm concerned for your safety. Much turmoil is happening in the great continent of Africa. I'll say a extra prayer.🙏✌️♥️🗽
I dont think prayers will help.
Its becoming more and more dangerous.
Dont go further.
I think these are taped and Noraly is in Holland doing whatever people in Holland do
Noraly must not have just an angel on her shoulder as she does these videos. She must have an entire legion of them! 😇🙏

I am travelling Australia alone in my off road caravan , but to watch your videos is a high point in my day. I never cease to be amazed at your exploits. You are truly a very remarkable lady. May you always be safe in your journey. Jerry
What is your channel id like to see Australia
Son passage au Maroc est incroyable
Itchy Boots you made my day.The Togo Mts are beautiful!
You make me see those amazing sceneries… wow! You are so brave ❤ Take care of yourself 🤩
My husband is Togolese and we go there every other year. I was so on edge wondering what those men were going to do with your camera. I always feel so on edge when next to any military/police/border control because I feel so much at their mercy when we are there, but you stayed so calm. I'm amazed and inspired by your bravery and courage. So glad you showed Togo the world! Most people have never heard of it!
lol then you're at their mercy? You're at the country's mercy 24/7 on an unspoken arraignment of good faith with people she knows nothing about, nor what to do if there's an emergency or worse... disarmed in a second, and these are people who most likely weren't nefarious... imagine putting blind trust in an entire country who don't have any accountability like these men. God complexes. "Reporters" are kidnapped by pirates, tourist bodies are found in god awful shape and are plastered on the news. God complex, but God was never a statistic... people are.
If that is how tourists are treated in Togo.....you can keep it!!!
They l sell that cam, the leader gets the loot
@@iluvmoney6767 this does not tell the entire picture.
@@TheBigQQ69420she would have already informed netgerlands embassy she's there they dare not do anything to her the western world don't joke with the lives of their citizens
Thank you Noraly. Amazing journey also includes interaction with people from all walks of life. Her calm cooperation with the security checkpoint turned out well. She shows us that when traveling the world you have to be respectful of other folks countries and local norms. We all have to admit that what she is doing is extremely rare. I can see how a security check point would find it difficult to believe.

You’re a very brave woman to travel all that distance. Y yourself. It must be a beautiful experience for you. It’s very interesting. Africa is a beautiful continent . I enjoyed watching thanks for sharing your experience and journey with us. Blessings , blessings
Thanks for bringing the diversity and uniqueness of Africa to the world view. Atleast ur video has proven that Africans do not live on trees like so many people wrongly believe. We are a work in progress and will get there one day
