The colors of the dirt changes so quickly, the earth is rich. The protection for the animals is amazing. My compliments and thanks to the Africans who protect the wild animals. As always, love the big picture with your drone shots.
I’ve been thinking that Noraly is more that brave...but when a local in minibus looks astonished and thinks she’s very brave...well, it says it all. Thank you Noraly for your courage, charm and talent and the best adventure viewing on any platform.
Itchy Boots, it’s so fascinating, you ride through all kinds of terrains for hours just like that, even with drone and selfie stick, and carry your whole life with you on little Savannah, for me you are a proper bike woman!
“Why are you going alone?” “Because I like it!” The amount of people admiringly confused by this is testament to the true spirit of adventure responsible for this amazing solo documentary. Well played Noraly, well played!
The more of these videos I watch (and I have watched dozens of them), the more I admire Noraly's virtues. Intelligence, dignity, respect for others, courage, an independent spirit, a sense of humor, and boundless curiosity. She has what used to be called "good character", and these qualities are to be admired. And yes, Noraly is also a good looking woman. Beauty inside, and out. Carry on, Noraly. You have my utmost respect.
Stumbled upon 1 video....now I'm binge watching and enjoying them all. Thanks for honoring us with your bravery and adventure! ❤️ Love from the Antigua in the Caribbean and Kenya
This is by far the best travel/documentary channel on UA-cam. Noraly takes you to places that most people will never see in their lifetime. She also does incredible photography especially the drone shots. Keep up the good work Noraly and may you always stay safe.
"No lion no? Ok" what a relief Noraly, because when you stop to view a giraffe or an elephant dangerous animals like lions, hyenas and leopards could be camouflaged right next to you. Be safe. Thanks for allowing us to travel with you.
Lions and leopards spend most of their day sleeping under tree shades or near waterholes to get closer to their prey. Nothing much really to worry about stopping for herbivores viewing even on a motorcycle.
Can't get more South African than referring to a braai and vetkoek. Africa, a place your feet may leave (in your case your Itchy Boots), but your heart will always be. Thank you for all your hard work in sharing your adventures with us 😊🙌
I took my Motorbike camping for a week for the first time, and came across some really rocky gravel roads going straight uphill. I was so scared at first but because of watching you, Noraly, I was sure I could make it! You have given me the confidence to ride on rocky terrain in weird places, on unpaved roads! Thanks for the adventure and for being an amazing inspiration for us solo female bikers! :)
Fantastic drone footage. This is the Africa I love : Huge, impossibly blue skies, red earth, stunning views that go on forever, friendly folk, random wildlife. Just love it !
I agree..amazing to me is that there are no Power lines or towers to blemish the views, and your drone footage was fantastic. Thanks, Noraly! Safe travels for you!
You have the same intrepid spirit of my sweet bride of 46 years, Noraly! She taught me to see beauty and adventure in everyday experience. Thanks for everything.
"You are brave" he says, I think it safe to say that, we all YTer's thank you, Noraly for being brave, and doing what you do & sharing with us your adventures. Particular South Africa adventure, Peace
It´s amazing to follow You on this journey, i see africa from another perspective, You talk to the locals and shows us that they are ordinary people like all other people in the world.
I just have to point out that your Africa series video thumbnails have been off the charts good. Great compositions and design. Thumbnail game very strong in Africa. 💪
I marvel at your sense of adventure! Thanks for sharing it with "we internet!" Your perpetual optimism and great attitude leads you to many new adventures. I hope you are able to finish your trip from Argentina to Alaska one day when the world gets a little more normal.
Nah she is playing with fire doing all that alone....there are thieves all over the place and a huge part of the population do not work and have no money and she was lucky but she will not always be that lucky....and she can have a major mechanical problem in the middle of nowhere...or get an accident and get badly hurt....again in the middle of no where....
I'm do not dream such a life, i like riding motorbike and traveling, too but in a range of "normality". I think she goes boyond, this is beyond , she's crazy in my opinion, i hope luck will never leave her.
Hi Noraly,, yes you have to be careful, the Botswana anti poaching unit are very serious, they first shoot and if you still alive, then they asked questions,, very nice vid, please be safe out there,, have a safe and blessed weekend,, keep well my friend
I always look forward to my lunch hour on Friday because I get to spend it with you vicariously traveling while I sit here and enjoy my lunch. Always love your videos thank you so much travel safe
In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side; but he couldn’t pick up things with it. But there was one Elephant-a new Elephant-an Elephant’s Child
Those things you saw aren't cacti, they are euphorbia's. A case of Parallel Evolution. Euphorbia's grow in the old world (Africa) whilst cacti grow in the new world (America) though some species have been brought over from America to Africa and other continents (especially opuntias, the prickly pears). The main difference between them is that the sap in euphorbias is white and sticky, and poisonous. Loving the series, I've upthumbed and downloaded every episode :)
What a ride! Watching this at the same time as Season 6 (which I am up to date with). The coincidence of the giant cactii is uncanny. And it's like I'm flipping through my high school geography textbooks in Kenya all over again, decades later, only that these videos carry more depth. Thank you Noraly 😊
What a ride! Clear 'n clean visor to spot non camouflaged elephant, giraffes, small dust devil, non shocking gate plus warthogs. Good bridges to cross and vast expanse of area via drone. Luggage moving through sandy areas faster and surprised locals ... now off to breakfast as your lunch made me hungry Noraly.
@@allseeingotto2912 What are you even talking about? Most of them lives there. People need to educate themselves instead of commenting nonsense on thread’s.
Just another day at the zoo eh...the amount of animals you are seeing is fantastic! And they aren’t like the dogs you’ve encountered through all your travels. They seem content to gaze upon the mysterious Itchy Boots in awe. The drone footage was great! Another great video in the can! Thanks for taking us along🏍🇺🇸
Yes absolutely, the Dog's was more Dangerous than the Elegant's and so on wild Animal . By safe Noraly take care real awesome this travel, love your motorbike too. I never have seen since South Africa so many Fens Gats to open and close in every Country. Thanks 👍😊😘 Noraly, so different to Germany 10 - 4 .
oh boy, I'm that van driver guy saying "errrrr!!!!", lol, oh Noraly, what a journey, huh? "because I like it", and the man says "I wish you a good journey", and then everybody in the van waving good bye for you, I'm quite touched by these things. It is as if you are going to a mission, fighting the environment and all sorts of wonders in the way
"Sand road"? they should rename it: "ITCHY BOOTS Highway" 😉🏍👍🐘🦒 Long ride today and still you took time to get some wonderful views with your drone. Thank you, Thank you!❤❤
When the first manned expedition goes to Mars, Noraly needs to be the team leader. By that time, she will have explored most of planet Earth and she will be ready for a new challenge. Plus, she is totally fearless.
Your right . She's got the right mental attitude. Gets the job done . Flexible. Keeps her head. Measures the risk. Recognizes her own satisfaction at the end of the day. NASA would have no worries with her.
For me, you see one dirt road in Africa or South America, you seen 'em all - even if you discount the dangers of traveling alone on a motorbike. Yet, one can't but admire Noraly's courage and adventurous spirit of doing what she loves to do.
Wonderful to see the differences in soils and vegetation. Love the peaceful moments with the animals - it’s like they know you are not a threat when they stand still and look back at you. You made 7 hours riding look easy. The walk to your dinner was as if I was there with you. As usual your music, drone shots and editing made a wonderful story. You are restoring my faith in humanity when you interact with people and you are told “I wish you a good journey”. Lovely! I too wish you a wonderful journey Noraly! Thank you for sharing these places and adventures.
The videos would vanish behind a paywall then. Nah, it's good the way it is. P.S.: Mentioning paywalls: There's none here, but you can get nice T-shirts and scarves from her shop! ^^)
You are right about Noraly's fantastic production quality but I don't see her surrendering her fierce independence to take instruction from a boss or director unless the amount of money was impossible to refuse. I think that is the reason we all admire her so much.
Thuli block is beautiful. Had a few wonderful close up elephant encounters in the bush camps up there - they're beautiful, majestic beings. Just love how incredibly quiet and ghost-like these enormous beings can be, yet they'll shred a huge tree with such ease, and leave a messy trail behind. Enjoy this spectacular area Noraly ... I'm secretly envious! Lol ...
Through this channel i now know so many, i Stay In Zimbabwe, but i just knew some quite nice places even within my country through this channel, thanks to you ITCHY BOOTS 👍
Noraly makes such great videos. They makes you feel like you are the passenger on her bike. I was born in Zimbabwe, a place I hope Noraly visits next. Botswana is a beautiful country, stable, democratic and very minor corruption. The people are a credit to their country as they are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. May you be safe on your journey Noraly, and thank you for making us feel like we are there with you.
“Bravery” is truly in the eye of the beholder. Just out of college, I worked for a while as an adjunct therapist in a rehab unit at a psychiatric hospital. Many of the patients perceived me as incredibly brave...because I had, in my mid-20s, left my parents’ home and was living independently several hundred miles away!
The Tuli Block is an incredible area for wildlife. It's never been developed. I spent a month there doing research back in 1982. We were charged by a lion and an elephant and lived to tell the tale. Thanks for taking me back to a place I'll probably never return to.
I admire your ability to travel and upload two or more videos a week, Downloading, choosing content, editing and uploading takes hours, let alone talking to yourself all day whilst touring. I don't have that ability to chat into a helmet so I rather stop and take photos. Furthermore, whilst I often review my photos from 40 years ago, I never review video a second time taken last week.
We discovered your videos quite recently and are totally addicted to watching your journeys each evening.We are enthralled and in awe of your spirit of adventure, your positivity in the face of challenges and love the places you take us to. Stay well, stay safe.
What more could happen? Stay on the main track or get shot! Wild elephants, giraffes, zebra, wart hogs and concerned, helpful locals abound! As usual, fantastic drone footage! Ride safe Noraly!
Such great riding today. I sense that you have found a new level of confidence since your racing around the Salt pans with the Dakar Boys. Brilliant riding today Noraly. You just slayed the sand and gravel at a much faster pace than ever before. I am going to miss your oohs & ahs when you encountered tough sections before.
Another winner, Noraly. Interesting to note that most of the individuals you’ve encountered in Botswana are more diligent about wearing there protective masks than those people in my Long Island New York community.
Noraly you are truly an inspiration. I'm 70 and have been riding all my life and I don't think I've come across a braver biker than you. Have seen all your series and look forward to each fresh instalment. Stay safe and enjoy. Trevor Bruce, Durban, South Africa
Be careful, bad things can happen if you are "in the wrong place"... no matter how happy and possitive you are, some people are just out looking to hurt others, please take care of yourself.
Never turn your bike motor off when chatting like that in the middle of nowhere. If he got out of his van to do something bad to you then you could at least kick it in gear and get away... The questions he was asking like, "is anyone behind you coming?" "are you all alone" etc... were red flags... Love your channel and stay safe! Tot Ziens!
@@Razidurgh , The one true God, our Heavenly Father, the great I Am, there is only one creator God but I understand your anti-religion rhetoric. How about YHWH , is that any better?
"The great grey green greasy Limpopo River." Rudyard KIpling's descrition which has been taught to generations of school kids as an example of alliteration.
Hello. Like that van driver said, you are brave, you bring us nice videos educational as well. Pls do take care try not to be too brave. God bless you and keep you safe.
Very brave Noraly! Love your drone shots, please be safe and stay positive. Thanks for the content. Hello from an Indian living in Netherlands for 10 years.
Woohoo, and the adventure continues. You'll need a kevlar vest just in case. Never mind the legal guys, watch for "poachers" who may "think" you're the police. Hopefully the folks you met in the van are not them, asking if you've seen any animals. 🦌🦏🐘🦧🦍🐆 Thanks for taking us here N. Once again another spectacular drone sequence filming that great river/lake and lovely greenery. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
Really a courageous woman who passes through all kind of terrain. You have adventure passion come to India to explore the natural beauty...best of luch...keep in bringing us to the different parts of the world
The Pink Combi guy said, "Hey Boss how'zit" thinking you're a man & when you took the helmet off he said Äh Ah!"because he was shocked to see a woman thats why he laughed and said you're brave. They say that alot because its not usually expected of a woman to bike alone especially deep in rural areas, people still have real fear of wild animals in such areas thats why many prefer cars that Bikes, those who have bikes are just those urban hips who do it for fun on tarred roads not offroad biking its still seen as white/European thing/adventure
So I was on my bike in my little town of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and doesn't some gentleman come up and compliment me on my Itchy Boots neck buff!! We shared a "big fan" moment...it made my day!! Good job Noraly, you're reach is far💜🇨🇦🍁❤
Beautiful, amazing scenery and it must be so so special to ride in an area with so much wild life. I see more and more confidence in riding on sand, 👍🏼😎
Hi Noraly, once again you managed to leave me open mouth….!!!! Fantastic video, I don’t know how you manage to do your touring, filming, editing and looking for new places where to go and then come up with such a wonderful presentation!!!!! Amazing, nothing short of amazing!!! Thanks again for sharing it with us.
Itchy Boots incansable!!! 7 hs. manejando por caminos arenosos y con alegría termina el día... Hermoso video y la música acompaña el vuelo del dron. Gracias por el esfuerzo de compartir esa experiencia. 👍👍👍👍👍 💪 🤗
Coming across a large elephant like that would be incredible. I imagine the trick is to remain calm, almost indifferent - but for a moment there when the ears briefly came up to let you know he had had enough. It must be really something when even the locals think your a very brave person to be riding alone through all the animals casually wandering about. Or was it the poacher they were referring to. Stay safe.
@@NathiENkomo-wl6sv it seemed to me she hesitated before answering she was alone. It would have been tempting to say others were right behind me! I had an attempt to kidnap me when I was traveling alone in Nigeria three years ago.
I've been wanting to dirtbike since I was 16, and to go to Africa since then too, and you bring both to me by sharing your adventure!👍 Thank you, much appreciated!!😊
No one shoot at Noraly, or else... I love to see how serious Botswana is about protecting their wildlife, though! If only more countries here in Europe respected their like Botswana does! Especially a certain one that rhymes with harmony. ;o) Another lovely episode! ^^)
I agree ... Here in the US, we invade their (wild animal) territory, the attack us, we kill them because they are "invading our space" ... Sometimes I hate being part of the human race😭😭 ...
You are literally living every bikers dream which most of us neither have time, money or nevertheless courage to attempt. Good luck & thanks for bringing amazing experiences to all of us.

If you are african then you know how brave this woman is
Because we live here we know the dangers
“Why are you going alone?”
“Because I like it!”
The amount of people admiringly confused by this is testament to the true spirit of adventure responsible for this amazing solo documentary. Well played Noraly, well played!
Same question and same answer exchanged in YEARS of riding for so many of us. Noraly is a shining star!
@@jamesvandemark2086 Your right James, the question I received most was. What is your mission here?
“Because I like it!”....................................... simple but the meaning is very deep
l quit my job and spent a year and a half in europe on my own. One of the best decisions of my life.
I second that emotion! We all should live so freely. Best vibes, best travel adventurer. Big love to Noraly & everyone. 💥😊👏💕

Well said, I'm in agreement. These qualities keep bringing me back!
Couldn't agree more.
The dry river bed crossing is the Motloutse river and the rock wall the river flows through was known with in my family as Solomon's Wall
Thanks for the additional info. Led me to an old video here on UA-cam, "Motloutse river at Solomons wall"--very neat.

Through this channel i now know so many, i Stay In Zimbabwe, but i just knew some quite nice places even within my country through this channel, thanks to you ITCHY BOOTS 👍
So aspiring. Love you Noraly you make our lives better.
Noraly makes such great videos. They makes you feel like you are the passenger on her bike.
I was born in Zimbabwe, a place I hope Noraly visits next. Botswana is a beautiful country, stable, democratic and very minor corruption. The people are a credit to their country as they are very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
May you be safe on your journey Noraly, and thank you for making us feel like we are there with you.
I can't help but sense with those overhead drone shots as Loraly rides through the wilderness that God is keeping a protective eye on her.
Thanks a million sweetheart for showing the word. I am just speechless. Wishing you safe and healthy life. Lots of love.
When the local say how brave you are, it's mean you are really brave Noraly!
Not really, most those locals never left their village.
They will never see anything of the world.
@@ekimandersom4478 they’re not “brave” to leave their villages, so they admire how brave she is to leave hers and travel the world solo.
“Bravery” is truly in the eye of the beholder. Just out of college, I worked for a while as an adjunct therapist in a rehab unit at a psychiatric hospital. Many of the patients perceived me as incredibly brave...because I had, in my mid-20s, left my parents’ home and was living independently several hundred miles away!
@@ekimandersom4478 So you have been to their villages.
@@ekimandersom4478 think before commenting in the future. That's a nasty comment what do you know about Botswana??
watching the terrain and vegetation changes is always a treat, I always enjoy seeing the beauty of this big old world.
Amazed at how well the drone equipment and operator’s skills are so good!
The drone she is using is highly automated.
@@ws8080 not that easy ..they crash and fly away too!
The Tuli Block is an incredible area for wildlife. It's never been developed. I spent a month there doing research back in 1982. We were charged by a lion and an elephant and lived to tell the tale. Thanks for taking me back to a place I'll probably never return to.
I admire your ability to travel and upload two or more videos a week, Downloading, choosing content, editing and uploading takes hours, let alone talking to yourself all day whilst touring. I don't have that ability to chat into a helmet so I rather stop and take photos. Furthermore, whilst I often review my photos from 40 years ago, I never review video a second time taken last week.
We discovered your videos quite recently and are totally addicted to watching your journeys each evening.We are enthralled and in awe of your spirit of adventure, your positivity in the face of challenges and love the places you take us to. Stay well, stay safe.
What more could happen? Stay on the main track or get shot! Wild elephants, giraffes, zebra, wart hogs and concerned, helpful locals abound! As usual, fantastic drone footage! Ride safe Noraly!
What an amazing life Noraly lives. So fortunate to be able to do what she does.
Such great riding today. I sense that you have found a new level of confidence since your racing around the Salt pans with the Dakar Boys. Brilliant riding today Noraly. You just slayed the sand and gravel at a much faster pace than ever before. I am going to miss your oohs & ahs when you encountered tough sections before.
I admire your being so brave and adventurous. Thanks for sharing.
Honda’s next CRF250 should be called Africa Savannah.
I so enjoy traveling with you as it were.
Always happy to see your next post!
I keep you in my prayers that my ABBA keep you safe.
Love your work Noraly, especially the drone shots keep those coming, now waiting for the next episode 😍😍😍
4:15. Good shot. These shots are important to capture the viewers mind of how small you are in such a unknown land. Well done.
"Alone? Why?" "Because I like it." As you said earlier: "Makkelijk leven -- geen man"!
Another winner, Noraly. Interesting to note that most of the individuals you’ve encountered in Botswana are more diligent about wearing there protective masks than those people in my Long Island New York community.
As Always another fantastic Vid... I do so worry though about criminality and for Noraly's Safety.... Please be safe.
Noraly you are truly an inspiration. I'm 70 and have been riding all my life and I don't think I've come across a braver biker than you. Have seen all your series and look forward to each fresh instalment. Stay safe and enjoy. Trevor Bruce, Durban, South Africa
Thanks, Noraly You have taken us on a wonderful trip again. ( Canada gives you a big hug )
Be careful, bad things can happen if you are "in the wrong place"... no matter how happy and possitive you are, some people are just out looking to hurt others, please take care of yourself.
That’s true everywhere in the world. But we cannot allow that to stop living as fully as possible!
Also elephants are quite the danger I believe. I think that is one of the concerns of the locals when they seem worried with her being alone.
Personally I would not stop in the middle of nowhere for a chat .
Never turn your bike motor off when chatting like that in the middle of nowhere. If he got out of his van to do something bad to you then you could at least kick it in gear and get away... The questions he was asking like, "is anyone behind you coming?" "are you all alone" etc... were red flags... Love your channel and stay safe! Tot Ziens!
@@humdog64 American?
You are a brave soul. You live your dream whilst many of us just dream.
Heavenly Father please protect Noraly any danger drive safe Noraly
Which Father? Zeus? Odin? Vishnu? The God of Jews? The God of Muslims? The God of Anglicans?
@@Razidurgh 😂😂
Creators
Amen
@@Razidurgh , The one true God, our Heavenly Father, the great I Am, there is only one creator God but I understand your anti-religion rhetoric. How about YHWH , is that any better?
What a brave lady you are. Take a rest and hopefully we will see you again in a couple of days. Best wishes from Santiago de Chile. ☺️👏👏👏
"The great grey green greasy Limpopo River." Rudyard KIpling's descrition which has been taught to generations of school kids as an example of alliteration.
Hello. Like that van driver said, you are brave, you bring us nice videos educational as well. Pls do take care try not to be too brave. God bless you and keep you safe.
Always and still the best way to spend a Friday night, talking to the elephants with Noraly!
Very brave Noraly! Love your drone shots, please be safe and stay positive. Thanks for the content. Hello from an Indian living in Netherlands for 10 years.
Woohoo, and the adventure continues. You'll need a kevlar vest just in case. Never mind the legal guys, watch for "poachers" who may "think" you're the police. Hopefully the folks you met in the van are not them, asking if you've seen any animals. 🦌🦏🐘🦧🦍🐆
Thanks for taking us here N.
Once again another spectacular drone sequence filming that great river/lake and lovely greenery.
Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
It is a local minibus taxi. Most of the taxi's in Botswana and South Africa are similar vehicles.
They're probably low level smugglers...
U will never see a local poaching elephants in Botswana it's foreigners.
Your courage don't stop to amaze me! Thee are lions there! For crying out loud!
Very nice video I never knew Africa was like that it’s nice to be able to see the way people live in that area you stay safe
Like what buddy?
Wonderful!
Traveling the world and meeting new people.
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
That was funny meeting the pink minibus. 😃 Great to see the animals in their own surroundings.👍😊🇮🇪
Really a courageous woman who passes through all kind of terrain. You have adventure passion come to India to explore the natural beauty...best of luch...keep in bringing us to the different parts of the world
The Pink Combi guy said, "Hey Boss how'zit" thinking you're a man & when you took the helmet off he said Äh Ah!"because he was shocked to see a woman thats why he laughed and said you're brave. They say that alot because its not usually expected of a woman to bike alone especially deep in rural areas, people still have real fear of wild animals in such areas thats why many prefer cars that Bikes, those who have bikes are just those urban hips who do it for fun on tarred roads not offroad biking its still seen as white/European thing/adventure
So I was on my bike in my little town of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and doesn't some gentleman come up and compliment me on my Itchy Boots neck buff!! We shared a "big fan" moment...it made my day!! Good job Noraly, you're reach is far💜🇨🇦🍁❤
Beautiful, amazing scenery and it must be so so special to ride in an area with so much wild life. I see more and more confidence in riding on sand, 👍🏼😎
Hi Noraly, once again you managed to leave me open mouth….!!!! Fantastic video, I don’t know how you manage to do your touring, filming, editing and looking for new places where to go and then come up with such a wonderful presentation!!!!! Amazing, nothing short of amazing!!! Thanks again for sharing it with us.
Guy in pink van: There is a tar road 5 km from here! (Noraly: But i don't want that)😂
Nice oliebollen in september. Bon Apetite 🍪
Itchy Boots incansable!!! 7 hs. manejando por caminos arenosos y con alegría termina el día...
Hermoso video y la música acompaña el vuelo del dron. Gracias por el esfuerzo de compartir esa experiencia. 👍👍👍👍👍 💪 🤗
Coming across a large elephant like that would be incredible. I imagine the trick is to remain calm, almost indifferent - but for a moment there when the ears briefly came up to let you know he had had enough. It must be really something when even the locals think your a very brave person to be riding alone through all the animals casually wandering about. Or was it the poacher they were referring to. Stay safe.
I was afraid when he asked her if she was alone he might have bad intentions!
Yep, when the ears flap outwards, that's the time to leg it. Fast!
@@devamail1 Yeah, I was a little nevous too, but then I realised that she manage to upload this video, that means she arrived safely.
@@NathiENkomo-wl6sv it seemed to me she hesitated before answering she was alone. It would have been tempting to say others were right behind me! I had an attempt to kidnap me when I was traveling alone in Nigeria three years ago.
Not the animals i'm pretty sure!
I've been wanting to dirtbike since I was 16, and to go to Africa since then too, and you bring both to me by sharing your adventure!👍
Thank you, much appreciated!!😊
No one shoot at Noraly, or else...
I love to see how serious Botswana is about protecting their wildlife, though! If only more countries here in Europe respected their like Botswana does! Especially a certain one that rhymes with harmony. ;o)
Another lovely episode! ^^)
I agree ... Here in the US, we invade their (wild animal) territory, the attack us, we kill them because they are "invading our space" ... Sometimes I hate being part of the human race😭😭 ...
My friend i can tell you, Botswana is very serious, last year 5 Namibian guys lost their lives as a result of poaching in Botswana,, so be warned
It's nice seeing the scenery from a motorbike.
You are literally living every bikers dream which most of us neither have time, money or nevertheless courage to attempt. Good luck & thanks for bringing amazing experiences to all of us.
Really admire your passion for adventure ,love your posts the only thing missing is the wind on my face ,,, safe biking
