The woman at the dog conservation place had the most beautiful hair and such a gentle nature. How grateful we should all be that there are places and people who are ensuring the survival of such creatures. And bless you Noraly for bringing this to our attention.
You know what sucks? Noraly is riding a motorcycle alone through Africa and is so mellow and relaxed as I do nothing while safe in my cave and am suffering all kinds of anxiety and depression. That said, I get a moment of peace watching her videos. She truly is an inspiration and it is greatly appreciated that I can get this kind of content for free. Noraly has inspired me to get a motorcycle again which I have. I just have not been able to go on any adventures with it yet. That is on me.
After the visit to the wild dog hospital I was surprised you did end up at your planned destination. And then this woman in the sanctuary, she had such a nice calm mix of confidence and gentilness. Yeah, I was impressed, by the both of you.
Zimbabwe is a very good country, if you visit the eastern part you might wonder whether you are in Africa. A very good country with well disciplinary people. Comparatively others in Africa Zimbabweans are hard-working people. I have really good experience in Zimbabwe and I love to that such an amazing country.
Is it true that the white farmers that weren't driven off in the last 30 years are now dispossessed of their land by the government after farming there for generations?
I can't help to chuckle. There are always a few people that give a thumbs down on Noraly's videos. The funny things is that they are always the first people to watch the video. You can make your own conclusions. Always a joy to watch Noraly!
FYI: There is web site scraping software that will do that automatically when programed to do so. This is not the only site I see this on. Unfortunately UA-cam dose not have spam controls like in email. And yes it is really called web scraping.
Carrots looks really amazing. 🥕🥕🤤 One of those carrot ladies was so honest. She picked up ur money on the floor and returned back to you. Very humble and polite farmer ladies. I am glad you give it back to her. She deserved it. And i think u got also local price for those carrots. God bless those ladies.
Giant carrots and African Wild Dogs; I am sure that combination of topics within a single moto vlog has never before been seen in the history of adventure motorcycle vlogs!
There she is!! the international game... converting currency... something that the EU no longer dealing with. . Like how everyone says swipe instead of card. Zimbabwe has a different landscape... always interesting... free tolls for bikes, like that. Wild Dog - Painted Dog Santuary... cool... that's a strange sight, a skii cap on the attractive young lady... isn't it hot in the sun? More dog tracking information for your repertoire. Always love the little chats with the control posts. Amazing the green vegetation. Carrots look increable... so bright and clean, almost fake looking. Now you're the flying carrot going down the road. What a place, always like places with pouches. Rest well, ride careful, stay safe...
I’m impressed with Savannah. The bike simply keeps going. This is a tribute to the way you ride and look after the mc and also the reliability of the little Honda. Way to go.
The lady at the dog refuge was stunningly beautiful especially her hair. She had a kind and gentle spirit to match yours. Always waiting with eager anticipation for your next video.
@@saigonnais There are a lot of similar names between Japanese and Zimbabwean Shona names even though they have different meanings. The similarities are quite can be quite confusing.
FYI : In Zim, bikes don't pay tolls.👍 I wish it was like that here in South Africa. Here, a bike pays the same as a Toyota Land Cruiser towing a caravan - bloody madness !
Unless you refuse and just to the traditional 'tolheksteek' - although I've heard less people talking of that, so maybe they've found a way of killing anyone trying to zip through? Certainly for years many bikers have just shot through and refused to pay - starting way, way back.
The painted dog conservation was interesting. Didn't know if they actually had any, so thank you for taking us there. So much to see there. Be careful and again, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
if i wasnt homesick after your last video i am now. lol. enjoy your stay in my hometown. a ride around the matopas is a must. thankyou for another lekker video
Dear Noraly reading the comments to your videos continue to make me cry. I think it is because some how without you even trying God has made you an ambassador of the earth to us all and you are not the only one there are others. Because of nomads there is a kind of global conciseness happening and I think it is a good thing. You and others are showing that we are all inter connected and that we all want the same things (to be loved and excepted and respected and to be safe) So May God continue to bless you and keep you safe as you keep keep-n on. Of all the you tube travelers you are my favorite. Thank you for just being you.
I have made an effort to check" Like" on every video you ever made just because I actually like every video from you. You take me around the world with such grace, good attitude and charm. I am with you all the way.
Zimbabwe is as beautiful as I have always imagined it to be. I have made good friends from Zimbabwe, mostly coming from Bulawayo. I cannot wait to visit. Enjoying from Kenya.
Zimbabwe is looking like it will be a good country, good people, and good learning experience. Interesting looking dogs. Hope the carrots tasted as good as they looked. Thanks for the ride along!🏍🇺🇸
Zim was know as the breadbasket of Africa until Mugabe destroyed Zim. Most of the white framers lost there farms and the locals lost their jobs. Sad situation
@@jfv65 Agree with all comments posted to my original comments. This channel has multiple nationality viewers who are probably hearing Zim first time and don't know history of Zim. We Souther Africans know the cause of Zim collapse was wrong policies, disregarding welfare on the people of Zimbabwe. Zim had high standard of living, best education, healthcare infrastructure etc and is now a classic case of how quickly things can go wrong. Point of my comment was to give a perspective to viewers that Zim was not always a basket case country but a prosperous successful African country before its collapse.
Bulawayo was also the name of the kraal (byre, I suppose the "international English" would be - byre-with-huts) of King Shaka of the Zulus. To kill someone in Zulu is to "bulala" them. To lie down (and also to sleep) in Zulu is to "lala", so that's how the words link together. (And then there's a Zulu innuendo where someone will say they're "tired" - so need to "sleep" - with the person who's being told about the "tiredness"). AFAIK, the original Bulawayo was "The Place of the Killing" - on account of there being a lot of killing that used to take place there - the eternal and universal methods of dictators and "real kings". So what's that got to do with Zimbabwe, you ask? Well there was a clan by name of Khumalo, led by a certain Mzilikazi, who started out his career as one of Shaka's most trusted and successful generals, and then fell under suspicion. I think he was summoned to pay a little visit to the place of the killing, decided it would be safer to just migrate over the mountains, where he did his own imperial conquests for a time, was defeated in a war against the Boer Trekkers, so decided to move once again - this time to what's now called Zimbabwe. To Bulawayo. The Place of the Killing. The royal kraal. (I don't know if the name, itself, was related to all the executions, come to think of it. Could be that there were just a lot of cattle slaughtered there, too? They had pretty much Zulu customs, so would also have had a lot of executions - just like any other ancient king would - but the "killing" in the name of the place might have been less intimidating. And now I have to go and eat supper, otherwise someone is going to kill me. :D
Bulawayo is 'place of slaughter' probably more to do with cattle. Shaka was never there. Mzilikazi left the Zulu's and the Matabele were born, moving through northern SA, Botswana and settling in BYO.
@@trilithon108 I think if Shaka had ever visited there, Mzilikazi would not have stuck around to receive the visit. (He'd have had to "head more west" in such an event, because North are the Lunda and Luba (who would've had Shaka for dinner), and toward Malawi were the Angoni/Ngoni - who also decided that Zululand wasn't a nice, safe place to live any more, so went and invaded someone else's country, like Mzilikazi did. (For a while there were TWO Bulawayos, though, until Shaka was assassinated, and his one got torn down, burnt, and erased as far as possible by his brother.) And here's a completely unrelated little fact, just to restore peace and love to the world: If you ever visit the Moffat Mission in Kuruman, SA (which is still in existence AFAIK), and you visit the chapel there (which they built the first edition of in something like 1805), the roof beams in there were sent as a gift by Mzilikazi. Enormous beams of wood carried on the shoulders of strong men for hundreds of kilometers as an outright, here, keep it, no you don't owe me anything for it, true gift. You have to see the beams to get an idea of the extent of this gesture. Might help to have had to do pole PT until you cotched, as a kid, too, to imagine the physical feat it was to carry that stuff all that way.
As usual anything about another Africa country Nigerians and South Africans always want to hi-jack it and make it theirs. This is about Zimbabwe not South Africa
The country of my birth, oh man there is tons of place's to see, Bulawayo has the widest streets in the world, then there's Fort Victoria Zimbabwe ruins, sinoia caves balancing rocks in Harare, mazoe Valley the best oranges in the world, the biggest advacadoes come from Zimbabwe umtali Highlands, etc lol can write a whole book on what to see
When I saw the owner of the African Sun Homestay I remembered him and I actually stayed in that same room 4 years ago☺️😂lovely quiet place and very generous host
Vitamins ✅ I have never seen carrots quite like those. Very interesting to see the wild dogs. They have so much competition in the food chain. Nice to know somebody is watching out for them. 500 Km - 300 miles is a lot of ground to cover in a day. Nice video. Thanks, Noraly! 🤠😎
You've never seen carrots like those perfectly normal carrots? lol, what do yours look like? The painted dogs are endangered almost entirely because of human encroachment.
@@sroberts605 All the carrots I see around here are very straight, they go to more of a straight point, are not as thick at top and have a more symmetrical taper. The carrots in Noraly's video look pretty tasty though. I'd snack on one of those.
The fuel bladders are the way to go even though they are awkward when refueling. To make refueling easier, make funnel from a clear plastic 1-liter soda bottle. Cut it in two so you can push the halves together when not in use. Then cut a 3/4 circle the size of the bladder pour spout, in to the open funnel side with the twist off cap. This pinches the funnel to the fuel bladder pour spout. A string can be tied around the bottle neck to assist in storing the funnel on the outside of the luggage.
They actually have a pocket on the outside canvas sleeve that holds a spout. I saw one at a bike shop the other day & had a good look at it. Clever idea.
Noraly, thank you for everything you have learned me while traveling. I have followed you since you were in Russia. Of all of the countries you have visited, Namibia is number one. The country I would like to visit most.
The young man at the traffic stop, right after the Painted Dog Conservation place was so friendly and he seemed to really want to talk longer. Oh, those carrots! How funny to see them tied to your bike, they looked like an udder! 😂😂😂
I stayed in that exact same room in Bulawayo when I was last there a few years ago! Only difference being I was heading to Vic Falls not the other way around 😊
Noraly, do yourself a favor and go to see the Matopos just outside Bulawayo. It is a deeply spiritual place for the Zimbabwean people and absolutely beautiful. You can just feel the presence when you are there. Thanks for your amazing channel.
If I had the patience, I would binge watch your videos. Then I would travel with you day after day. But I cannot wait. I must watch them when you post them. But I can binge watch in the future. Love being with you on the African continent.
Give my love to Matopos nr Bulawayo, you'll love the rock structures...very scenic. Wonder if the Nesbitt Castle Hotel / Lodge is still in B, its a great place for a treat and a stunning backstory.
Just when I find myself complaining about my job, (stress) life, whatever...I watch one of your videos and I suddenly realize how safe and cozy I have it. Even being a man I would have great anxiety living each moment in the "unknown" while being in the middle of nowhere trying to communicate with people who I could not understand. What you do is truly amazing and an inspiration to many. There is no fear in you or at least you don't show it! I'd be a nervous wreck traveling in those lands. Perhaps you eventually get used to it.
New subscriber here, I enjoyed watching this video. I was so happy to see Tanaka your host she was so informative and is very passionate about painted dogs!!! My name is Tanaka too, I am binging all your Southern African videos.
So far I must say,Botswana looks less like the much frowned upon Zim,it looks relatively liveable there,but its still early and I think we'll learn allot through your travels Noraly,you show us the country as it truly is and not the media perception
@@pelo4040 no,what I meant was,Botswana look very primitive and un developed,but people speak highly of Botswana,yet the much frowned upon Zimbabwe looks pretty well developed and seems like more is happening in Zim
Zim is definitely more developed infrastructure wise than Bots. however Bots on the other hand is better economically than Zim that's why is frowned upon
@@godsown7947 true,Zim in the correct hands can be a tourist attraction,we used to visit the vic falls as a holiday every year in school,offcourse I always missed that trip,but it used to be a nice country
As far as I recall, the currency is referred to as bond notes. When they first issued the bond notes they were set as equal to the USD! You could not exchange it anywhere outside of Zimbabwe though. I was in Zimbabwe the day that Mugabe was removed from office. The change immediately affected the value of the bond notes - it was devalued on the 'market'. The notes you have still looks like the bond notes. The toll fees were 2 bond notes - sure this is still the case.
Hi.. I'm from Sri Lanka and watched some episodes of your solo bike ride adventures round the world. It's amazing to see a girl riding alone in various parts of the world, especially through national parks infested with wild animals. You seem to be a brave, strong woman to undertake such risky journeys. I'm also interested in riding my motorbike around our island country to enjoy the beauty of it. Really, Sri Lanka is a beautiful island blessed with natural beauty. The world we live in is beautiful, and to see that beauty we must travel. At the end of your bike journey be sure to write a book on your travel experiences..I'm looking forward to watching your next episode..
Hay there Itchy Boots ,,,,My partner follows you faithfully on your trips Hes even got me watching a few ........The footage you bring is totally amazing ..all the places you go and the people and animals you meet ....both rare and the animals that are almost gone ...just amazing.........A big thank you for including us in your journey........Please don't stop .......................THE RASKAL
Hello Noraly; what a good adventurous spirit of traveling you have.. This soul is great, traveling, shooting at the same time, giving and educating us on the places she's traveling to.. The most lovely part of this woman is the confidence she has, taking risks and crossing all those borders perfectly... Noraly please we are waiting for you in East Africa ( Kenya) we want to this person..Best endeavors in your plans and in everything your planning to do.... KARIBU KENYA
I love your channel! Video is clear and very professional! You are such a smart and beautiful young lady! Wise beyond your years!! Thank you Noraly for bringing us such gorgeous video!!
Iam loving each and every video of urs in my country our carrots are nice and sweet too l love them to bits.Thanks for sharing the wild dog centre didnt know that it exists in Zim🙏👍
Since I've been following Noraly and I've seen all her videos, someone always appears out of nowhere and helps her, that girl is protected by the angels
carrots , carrots , carrots . what carrots ..Another great episode Noraly , again your interaction with the locals really shines through , I have said before , you put Davit Attenborough to shame . No big camera crews , No stageing / props etc . you have Excellent quality with your video's FANTASTIC . You highlight the People , Scenery and Animals is above reproach .Many thanks , look forward to next week . aussie bob
Blend means the petrol is mixed with ethanol and that increases the octane number so the choice is blend or blend because it is OK for engines requiring premium. The ethanol comes mostly from south east of Bulawayo. At 6:30 he said "pass by that gap", pointing to the left of the boom.
@@RobCopcutt Burn is too fast causing detonation so the effective octane of petrol is reduced with ethanol. E10 in engines without active knock detection or without retarded ignition timing to cope can hole pistons or bend conrods when run on E10.
When you pass Gweru pĺs visit Antelope Park and see their lions and various animals just outside Mkoba and also visit next to Antelope Park Anchor Yeast Dairy Farm; you will be amazed to see sô many dairy cows and other cowş at the farm.
The interesting things you find on your journey are fascinating. The way you charm the locals into being charming, also, is very touching. Happy Trails
The woman at the dog conservation place had the most beautiful hair and such a gentle nature. How grateful we should all be that there are places and people who are ensuring the survival of such creatures. And bless you Noraly for bringing this to our attention.
I also liked how knowledgeable she was. 🙂
You know what sucks? Noraly is riding a motorcycle alone through Africa and is so mellow and relaxed as I do nothing while safe in my cave and am suffering all kinds of anxiety and depression.

You must visit Vic Falls Bro.
@@GmanGura I really need to, I have been to Harare and Bulawayo a couple of times but never been to Victoria falls. But I will surely visit soon bro👍
After the visit to the wild dog hospital I was surprised you did end up at your planned destination. And then this woman in the sanctuary, she had such a nice calm mix of confidence and gentilness. Yeah, I was impressed, by the both of you.
Itchy - That Ranger at the Wild Dog Hospital was so well informed - thank you for that education!
Who funds the Wild Dog Hospital?
@@robert3987 donations from well wishers is my best guess.
Her name is Noraly not Itchy! 😂
Country of my birth. Town I was born in & grew up in, till the age of 15. I miss the Matopas hills & lakes. Worth a look.
Oh my goodness, tanika was just beautiful. What a lovely wee lady ❤️🇮🇪❤️🥰😊
Zimbabwe is a very good country, if you visit the eastern part you might wonder whether you are in Africa. A very good country with well disciplinary people.

Your Guide at the wild dogs was amazing. So enthousastic and really cares for the dogs.

i would advise washing the carrots in a chlorine solution, then pealing then as it is likely they were grown in 'night soil'
Hello Noraly, really enjoyed the ranger at the wild dog park, very enlightening, and interesting, she was very professional.
You make a perfect ambassador for any country if not for the whole world.
Thanks for your channel, Günter form Nürnberg/Germany
It’s not often I like to ride as a passenger however I can make the exception with your videos. Thanks for bringing us along!
Well said and totally agree with you on that. I would willing to be strapped to she luggage 🤣🤣
Surprising and nice to see that the roads in Zimbabwe have less potholes than here in the UK 🤤
Thank you for staying in my neighbourhood, Killarney. 😎😎😎😎😎 feels weird seeing my home through your lens.

Another interesting piece of information that won comes upon in the comments after itchy boots vlog
As usual anything about another Africa country Nigerians and South Africans always want to hi-jack it and make it theirs. This is about Zimbabwe not South Africa

Noraly's patience with stupid bureaucracy is admirable. Among the many benefits of her videos is the lesson for me just to stay home.
Thank you Noraly, for raising awareness of the potential extinction threat to the African Wild dogs.

Love your videos...your a beautiful courageous inspirational adventurous women, with a beautiful positive soul, keep it up !!!
Your loading of the carrots left me laughing--gorgeous big carrots!! All that healthy Vitamin K will be great for your vision. Happy trails!
I grew up in Bulawayo - I miss it.
Yes i,m going
Noraly welcome to BULAWAYO, carrot country, big thumbs 👍 up Noraly love ❤️ you
Noraly, thank you for everything you have learned me while traveling. I have followed you since you were in Russia. Of all of the countries you have visited, Namibia is number one. The country I would like to visit most.
The young man at the traffic stop, right after the Painted Dog Conservation place was so friendly and he seemed to really want to talk longer. Oh, those carrots! How funny to see them tied to your bike, they looked like an udder! 😂😂😂
Thank you for showcasing the land of my forefathers.
I stayed in that exact same room in Bulawayo when I was last there a few years ago! Only difference being I was heading to Vic Falls not the other way around 😊
Noraly, do yourself a favor and go to see the Matopos just outside Bulawayo. It is a deeply spiritual place for the Zimbabwean people and absolutely beautiful. You can just feel the presence when you are there. Thanks for your amazing channel.
Im from Zimbabwe Tanaka is my first baby girl im proud to be Zimbabwean watching this episode
Tezvara makasimba here?

Congratulations Mr. Charumbira. She's a beautiful and charming young lady (I'm just catching up on Noraly's season 5).
Thanks Noraly you’re awesome 👍🏻😎🇺🇸🏍️
Good evening Noraly, from Malaysia 🇲🇾
If I had the patience, I would binge watch your videos. Then I would travel with you day after day. But I cannot wait. I must watch them when you post them. But I can binge watch in the future. Love being with you on the African continent.
Give my love to Matopos nr Bulawayo, you'll love the rock structures...very scenic. Wonder if the Nesbitt Castle Hotel / Lodge is still in B, its a great place for a treat and a stunning backstory.
Digby Nesbitt passed away couple months ago wonder if it will carry on
You really get around! We miss you here in South Africa!😊
That's our mighty Victoria falls wish you can also go to the Zambians side with love from Zambia 🇿🇲
My home town, thanks for sharing. Getting home sick! 😊
Just when I find myself complaining about my job, (stress) life, whatever...I watch one of your videos and I suddenly realize how safe and cozy I have it. Even being a man I would have great anxiety living each moment in the "unknown" while being in the middle of nowhere trying to communicate with people who I could not understand. What you do is truly amazing and an inspiration to many. There is no fear in you or at least you don't show it! I'd be a nervous wreck traveling in those lands. Perhaps you eventually get used to it.
Welcome to my home country! Please wave when you go through Kadoma! Safe travels, be safe👋👋
Wow, I have been following the Painted Dog Conversation for a few years. Great to see them on your trip!
Tanaka is an angel on Earth. What an all-round beautiful person.
New subscriber here, I enjoyed watching this video. I was so happy to see Tanaka your host she was so informative and is very passionate about painted dogs!!!
My name is Tanaka too, I am binging all your Southern African videos.
Wild Dogs and Very orange carrots! Awesome! I hope they save those Wild Dogs...beautiful animals.
So far I must say,Botswana looks less like the much frowned upon Zim,it looks relatively liveable there,but its still early and I think we'll learn allot through your travels Noraly,you show us the country as it truly is and not the media perception
How do you mean? That you thought Botswana and Zimbabwe looked alike?
@@pelo4040 no,what I meant was,Botswana look very primitive and un developed,but people speak highly of Botswana,yet the much frowned upon Zimbabwe looks pretty well developed and seems like more is happening in Zim
@@fanusswarts2033 oh. I get it now.
Zim is definitely more developed infrastructure wise than Bots. however Bots on the other hand is better economically than Zim that's why is frowned upon
@@godsown7947 true,Zim in the correct hands can be a tourist attraction,we used to visit the vic falls as a holiday every year in school,offcourse I always missed that trip,but it used to be a nice country
As far as I recall, the currency is referred to as bond notes. When they first issued the bond notes they were set as equal to the USD! You could not exchange it anywhere outside of Zimbabwe though. I was in Zimbabwe the day that Mugabe was removed from office. The change immediately affected the value of the bond notes - it was devalued on the 'market'. The notes you have still looks like the bond notes. The toll fees were 2 bond notes - sure this is still the case.
Think it was 10 bond when I was there 2019?
Hi.. I'm from Sri Lanka and watched some episodes of your solo bike ride adventures round the world. It's amazing to see a girl riding alone in various parts of the world, especially through national parks infested with wild animals. You seem to be a brave, strong woman to undertake such risky journeys. I'm also interested in riding my motorbike around our island country to enjoy the beauty of it. Really, Sri Lanka is a beautiful island blessed with natural beauty. The world we live in is beautiful, and to see that beauty we must travel. At the end of your bike journey be sure to write a book on your travel experiences..I'm looking forward to watching your next episode..
She has a blog and share with us some short stories. You should check it out.
Go for it Gamini

Just wonderful !! Noraly you have a real talent for film making. Thank you so much I'm enjoying each and ever episode....Kerry
Blend means the petrol is mixed with ethanol and that increases the octane number so the choice is blend or blend because it is OK for engines requiring premium. The ethanol comes mostly from south east of Bulawayo. At 6:30 he said "pass by that gap", pointing to the left of the boom.
Ethanol is lower octane by volume than petroleum spirit - unless that petroleum spirit is junk.
@@LondonSteveLee Ethanol has an octane rating of 113 which is way higher than most engines need. Look it up.
@@RobCopcutt Burn is too fast causing detonation so the effective octane of petrol is reduced with ethanol. E10 in engines without active knock detection or without retarded ignition timing to cope can hole pistons or bend conrods when run on E10.
Saludos desde Tenerife en Islas Canarias Canarias (España) me encanta tu viviencias en moto por el Mundo y sobre todo tu forma de ser
Everyone you meet seems to be so nice! Enjoying your travels very much, Noraly, thank you! 😃👍
When you pass Gweru pĺs visit Antelope Park and see their lions and various animals just outside Mkoba and also visit next to Antelope Park Anchor Yeast Dairy Farm; you will be amazed to see sô many dairy cows and other cowş at the farm.
I had the privilege to saw African Wild Dogs in Buffalo Park in Namibia 🇳🇦. Beautiful scenery 👌
You are fearless! Grew up in Byo and haven't seen it for decades! Got a pang of longing for the simplicity.
More amazing and beautiful country! Those painted dogs are very interesting. Thank you 😊
Enjoyed today. You do pick something of interest and knowledge everytime - the wild dog conservation programme. God bless you.👍👍👍😊😊😊
The interesting things you find on your journey are fascinating.
The way you charm the locals into being charming, also, is very touching.
Happy Trails
If you can get out that way, the eastern border with Mozambique is magnificent. The mountain ranges are up in the clouds.
