  • In this episode, I am planning to ride to a small village called Mfuwe, in Zambia, right at the South Luangwa National Park. There is a long dirt road leading there, but that route is not without dangers. It's still rainy season, and the rivers there are full of crocs and hippos and there are no bridges. So I have to figure out if the water levels are low enough so I can cross but I'm getting mixed information from the locals..

      Agreed, but I find inspiration, no jealousy. While at 65 my motorcycle adventures stick to epic American tar roads, maybe it will inspire me to change an item or two on the bucket list while I'm still vertical. Watching animals like these that are not behind bars or fences is hard to write about. Many of us have not looked at them eye to eye in THEIR home.

    The BBC was once unique in being able to produce this standard of documentary series, sad to say (as an Englishman) that this is no longer so.
    This 'Itchy Boots' Production' beats anything currently produced by the BBC or any other European terrestrial broadcaster.
    It is all done in a very natural genuine way without a political agenda or an egotistical presenter.
    It is extremely liberating to visually witness a highly talented, intelligent and articulate individual go out there and produce, on You Tube, a documentary like this and with such high production values.

    You, Noraly, are doing wonders for the tourist trade in not just Zambia, but most of the countries that you have travelled through. You truly are an ambassador for all that is good in the human species. Your channel also, and very importantly, breaks down barriers and challenges stereotypes and perceptions that most of us have had, or have about Africa and its people's.
    This particular episode was awe-inspiring. Who among us has not wanted to witness wildlife in their natural habitat? Sigh! I wish I were there with you right now, Noraly.
