Am a Zimbabwean living in S.A.l liked the video.The lady is so much amazing,her COMPUTERISED mind enables her to easily capture new information and superspread it to the whole world.May the Almighty keep on protecting her.
Oh, my goodness - I have watched nearly the entire Itchy Boots library and I know how adventurous Noraly is on the road, trails, geological wonders but I am even more astounded at her culinary constitution ... she tries most local/side of the road cuisines and makes me wonder, has she ever gotten sick from something she's eaten??? Another aspect that makes Noraly fierce🥰
it always amazes me that people we call third world can speak three or four languages yet here in the U.S. some people cannot even master the ENGLISH LANGUAGE
@@raymondgreenwood9617 True of most native English speakers. In Australia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries there were a large number of German language schools, genuine bilingual and it was high german. The students joined the army and were used by sensible commanders to guide captured soldiers back to POW cages. One of guides said that a lot of the POW could not speak good German. Same problem as you mentioned about English speakers.
Remember though that these countries where Noraly is travelling were either British, German or Dutch colonies in the past. So apart from their native tribal languages, most people are able to speak a 'colonial' language. A bit like the various native American tribes who also speak English.
I love mopane worms. There are many recipes but the best way for me is to really fry them after boiling until they are almost a crisp. It takes away the caterpillar texture, add a bit of chilli and enjoy. The way they really take in the salt plus the oil makes them a great snack whilst drinking
That look on your face.... reminded me of a kid being told to eat your vegetables. You are brave, indeed. Canine cartographers (they were just trying to help). The drone shots were very cool. Thanks, Noraly! 😎
I'm also a Whenwe, but left at age 11 to go live in SA. Missed out on seeing many of these places. Remember seeing Matopos rocks on $ notes growing up.
Loving the videos of Zim, land of my childhood . My husband and I are is going down memory lane with you, he’s was born and bred there and roamed the Matopos in childhood.Pity the bike prevented you from seeing Matopos, it’s very special. You were brave to try the mopane worms, which are caterpillars - yeuch! Enjoy the land of all my childhood dreams, looking forward to the next one
I have had Mopane worms a few times here in South Africa, and best way I can describe them is that they taste very 'earthy' allmost grasslike. But yes definitely not something you would eat every day, it is a delicacy. Well done fro trying them Noraly! Oh and the trees that the elephants like so much are Marula trees!
Lol I'm a Zimbabwean and I didn't know how to cook these nice and nutritional worms. But because of Itchy Boots, I can confidently go on to try cook them for the first time and see how it goes. Thanks Nora
Thank you Noraly I lived in Zimbabwe in the mid 80's and the Matopas was one of my favourite visits, don't worry about not seeing a Leopard but be sure several saw you and were like many in awe of you.
My old home Town. There is amazing wilderness areas south of Bulawayo in and around the Matobo area. Very unique and stunning. Where Cecil John Rhodes choose to be buried. His body traveled from Cape Town where he died. Beautiful dams among the rock outcrop formations. Fantastic fishing spots like nowhere else on Earth. I am thrilled that you enjoyed the day there.
Those big holes in the road are called 'dongas'. The only time that you worry about their size is when you pass such a hole and only the giraffe's ears are sticking out.😂
That part with rural houses is called Kezi. I spent most of my school holidays as a boy scout betwėen 1994 and 1999. I used to stay at Gordon Parks Scout Camp and our visitors were white rhino, warthoģs and leapord kittens. Aĺso we usəd to walk to the World's view gorge to enjoy the scenery and also see the gravè of Cecil John Rhodes and Star Jameson.
I like how every country you've visited has its own special thing. SA was super beautiful in scenery, Namibia had the most amazing people, Botswana had incredible wildlife, and nos I'm eagerly enjoying Zimbabwe, thank you!
What I HATE about Itchy Boots....... waiting for the next episode! You never know what she is going to get herself into. This is one of my favorite episodes. From the dogs on the map to the riding and waving to everyone. The man talking about your talking compass. The drone shot was beautiful and then she eats fuzzy little caterpillars always so interesting. Prayers Flying for safe travels!
l so enjoy your beautifully natural, and relaxed conversations you have with the people you meet on your travels, most of all, Africa, you seem to bring out the best in one another, thank you Noraly xxx
Spent many weekends boulder climbing in the Matopos as kid. Stunning to see it from the drone footage. Absolutely love this scenery and your ride today. Thank you, Noraly for sharing the delights.
@@garykaufman8128 Four Corners area in South-Western U.S. has spectacular Red Rock and ancient rock paintings as well. The Grand Canyon, Chaco Canyon, Pueblo Bonito, all fascinating places to spend quality time if this virus thing ends and you can make it over here.
As you always say Noraly, you choose not to be afraid. Taking on various foods from different countries and cultures is all part of your awesome journey and adventures. Reading your latest email and blog about your travels and in Southern Africa and recently Botswana really gives one the need to travel more. Oh and at the bottom of your email it says "You can unsubscribe anytime ............." well hellooooooooooo um like that is NEVER going to happen :)
Mophone worms are lcooked differently from country to country in southern africa but here in Botswana we mostly boil them in water with salt and let to dry in the sun and then eat them as thy are like eating peanuts...we can also fry them too with some onions and tomatoes to make gravy and eat with pap
The drone scenery is absolutely incredible; the landscape magnificent...makes me realise how insignicant we humans really are when you look at the vastness of those endless granite hills...sigh...! Noraly, you should do longer drone shots; they're amazing...I drove through Zimbabwe in the 70's and never saw views from that angle...

The beautiful scenery accompanied with great music transports us to believe we are also there. Loved the itchy paws on your map. Good try on those "worms". God bless you. 👍👍👍😊😊😊
I have falling in love with you!! Your channel!! Your adventures!! Everything. I was in tears watching your ride through my home town. I have not been home for years...
@@debracape7643 Absolutely! This reminded me of the Morning Show a friend of mine did as a hobby on some local internet radio near Hannover/Germany. She'd just start up her computer and play some songs after bringing her daughter to school, and she added some pretty chaotic moderating. It was brilliant! She used a headset for that. The headset had a little foam ball as pop-noise filter on it. She, too, had cats, who both were absolutely crazy about that little black ball in front of Mum's mouth. You'd often here a deep "**thud!**" when she hadn't paid attention and one of them managed to sneak up to her and hit the foam ball, hoping it would come lose to serve as a toy, probably. Once, one of the buggers came to give her a loving head bump. He thereby pushed the microphone right into her mouth while she was talking. Something like "And now for our next sec-*thlumpfmumpf!*", which sounded a lot like what the puppies did to Noraly's camera there! Maybe this reminder made me laugh like that. …and I still can't stop chuckling…
Your editing was exceptional in this episode, cutting to musical phrases which, with the choice of music, was particularly effective for this episode. You certainly are accomplished in the craft. Your handling of the wormy subject matter was also very delicate. Truly this was a most interesting episode. Noraly, you have deftly captivated the hearts and minds of your audience with your videos which will live on forever. Well done Lady. Kudos hopefully match your effort to share your adventures.
glad you enjoyed the matopas, shame no motorbikes allowed. we used to ride bicycles there as kids. especially to maleme dam. i love mopane worms. lol. thankyou for another lekker video.
Always clear blue sky not a speck of cloud in Zimbabwe... Night sky is so clear I could see 4 moons of planet jupitor with my Jena 10×50 binoculars. Winter time June July very cold beautiful. No rains that is one problem in Zimbabwe.
Here in Thailand we have a lot of fried insects and worms for sale in the market, also various beetles , the worms are sort of rubbery and fatty. Sometimes in the evening we get invaded by flying insects, which are also collected and fried as a delicacy. Again a bit fatty, they say all these things are very nutritious but as a non Thai I find hard to stomach. Another great episode, love the little curious puppies, same as ours, play fighting all day long.
Yes thats good with a beer ha ha.. Here in our country like beetles snake,farm rat for my understanding they are exotic food...but i didn't eat unless it cook well and season with spicy.
Those Matopo rocks are a real nostalgia kick for me. And did I see signs of spring kissing a Msasa tree? "In a garland of colours the gods love best The Msasa tree in spring are dressed. Pinks, orange, brown and then bright green. The most beautiful sight you've ever seen. "
The place where I was born, Bulawayo, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Motobo mountains are in my heart. Thank you for the memory on my B-day. Its lekker to be lekker when you're lekker.
Noraly, I continue to be impressed with your skills in the kitchen, and your bravery for trying all the local delicacies! Stay healthy and safe, and as always, see you in the next video! ❤️
I must say you're the most bravest woman in the world no man can do this ,i was screaming at the tv when stood watching elephant and those lions 😮 you my hero you inspire us man ....keep the good work my sister
I was there 25 years ago and the resemblance to Australia struck me. I grew up where there was a lot of granite hills, the local roads were like the tracks in the video. Actually very good when wet.
Thank you so much for sharing, so many places I'd like to visit, but cannot, and out of the blue, @itchyboots comes along and takes me on her rides. Danke, merci, muchas gracias
Years ago I did East Africa on motorcycle. Didn't see any rooms as nice as the ones you have until Addis Ababa ... mostly sticks mixed with what comes out the bac k side of a cow and painted over.... always sleep on top of the bed. I'm all for " when in Rome do as the Romans do "....But I draw the line at ... bug.
Beautiful episode. I admire your confidence and your ability to integrate into the environment, your lack of fear to be able to enjoy a meal completely alone without knowing exactly what surrounds you (considering that you are on the edge of the park with the world's largest population of leopards). A couple of things caught my attention: the first, how the use of masks has spread to the most remote places; the second is something that continues to surprise me, (although I have followed you from Uruguay since your first season) and it is how you do to orient yourself in the middle of nowhere, even with GPS. I can't believe those roads you travel are on the charts! Please tell me how you do it, I want to learn! Drive safe.
Those Mopane caterpillars are huge when they are still alive and just bear in mind that they are not usually eaten on their own but normally with pap and gravy . Make them a little bit more palatable. Like the music accompanying the drone shots. Beautiful.
Macimbi - the favourite food of my youth growing up on a farm outside Bulawayo - collected live from the leaves of the Mopane trees, squeezed out, washed and fried in butter. And then enjoyed with a plate of sadza and gravy. Thanks for all your amazing videos, Noraly. Your infectious laugh, mesmerising blue eyes and brave spirit to explore far flung places of the World has me hooked!
Noraly's Epicurean Adventures! Looks like the caterpillars weren't quite as bad as the surströmming, lol. Beautiful locations in this video, nice people, happy puppies. You bring sunshine wherever you travel.
Goeie naand Noraleigh, what a great first experience to taste mopanie worm,, you give me a big smile on your experience, you really brave. Noraleigh the place you take your lunch, is that rocks for marble, what a great adventure,, Enjoy 🌹
An we cook em a bit different in (owambo land) Namibia. When I was young in the north for holidays my grandma cooked and served me the mopane worms and I told her that I don't eat things with legs and today things with legs are my favourites. Thanks trying them. Hope I will try the Zimbabwean cooked sometimes.
😆 🤣 Worms, catapillars, rotting 🐟, what you try to eat is incredible haha. Fantastic footage as always. I was born in Bulawayo.. little glimpse of "home" .. thank you! Drone shots wow 👌
Beautiful riding there. The people seem wonderful as well. I love the old fellow with his bicycle. It is really eye opening when you go into the little stores and see how very little they have, or we in the western world have too much. Always look foreward to your videos. Thanks for taking us all along with you, even if only by proxy. Ride safe Noraly!
The worms? Here puppies, come enjoy….😜😝I can’t try anything like that. I loved your breakfast though! What nice people. In the cave, to think that so many years ago we’re staying in those caves and painted and migrated. TY👍👍👍👍
Alex, I'll take "Things you won't catch me doing for 800": "- This area is known for having the highest density of leopards in the world..." "- Lets go find a cave" :D
Noraly, your videos outshine all previous travel videos I've seen both on TV or the net. You have a certain "je ne sais quoi," distinctive, indefinable quality about your presentations and your wonderful self. Greetings from Canada, and looking forward to seeing all of your travels.
Hi, I admire your braveness on the greatest adventures of a life time, especially during these trying times. Doing a solo ride in unknown environments, unknow conditions and unknown destination is what life is about. I also ride locally in South Africa and from a motorcycle perspective, one gets to see places that aren't accessible to motor vehicles. Well done on awesome videos, commentary during your rides and living your life to the fullest! Safe travels Itch Boots and thank you for the amazing adventure your sharing with all of us following!
Best way to cook mopani worms is to soak them first to soften them up, preferably overnight.Boil them first and then fry them with onions and peppers and make a stew with tomatoes.
Yummy !😣😕😦😋 Wonderful example of the different "delicacies" that you have tried in your travels. Thank you for the beautiful drone views of the amazing rocky terrain! 👀😃
I grew up south of Bulawayo. 5 kilometers from the main gate to matopo .. heck .. thanks for showing me .. it's been 15 years since I left zim Love your videos
I really enjoyed the lovely conversation with the man on the bike. Good on you for giving mopane worms a proper try. I have only ever had a tiny nibble on a dried one and even that took all the mind control I had. It is very difficult not to think about the fact that they are catepillars, especially when you have seen how big and juicy they are when they are alive😆
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
Gosh that was a Funny Puppy and georgeous scenery Episode. There is even a big City in Germany called WORMS. With a lot of Wormsers in them wiggeling around 😁😁😁
Great video.....area I will not get to see if it was not for you....can't wait until your next video.....Please take care on the roads...lots of chuck holes ! Take Care
I am riding where there are more leopards than anywhere else in the world.....reaches isolated location....lets have a picnic! LOL Woman you have no fear!!!! You are my hero!
Agree. Just when you think you have seen every type of landscape imaginable along comes something new and completely different. The earth just keeps on giving.
I absolutely love your cooking teacher. The look she was giving you. Is Noraly going to up chuck after one worm? Bravo Noraly. I had my steamed veggies first before watching you chow down on the little caterpillars. My diet is vegetable based.
Hi Noraly. You amaze me with every video as to how adventurous you are. You are such a skilled rider that you call these rock-strewn, rutted and sandy paths, roads and have no fear of riding thru elephant and cheetah habitat. But eating worms! Thank you for brightening my day with every video you release.
This is so funny...a PINDA in dutch is a PEANUT so when Noraly saw a PINDA store she thought they sold snacks... little did she know that a witch at the counter turned all the peanuts into Mopane worms !!! Brave Noraly !!!
Leopards - consumate ambush hunters and Noraly walks fearlessly in caves and sits with her back to rockfaces enjoying her lunch!! Awesome and then to top it off bites the head off a Mopane worm!! Eat your heart out David Attenborough.
Noraly, the expression on your pretty face, when you bit into that Mopane "caterpillar" was priceless. 🥺 You've showed me scenery that's beyond my wildest dreams. Doesn't it make you wonder how those huge rocks got on top of the other boulders, or were they there from the beginning of time ? 🌎 I wish you infinite happiness throughout your endless journey.
Hey N,based on the look on your face, I'll not be trying those pudgy bugs any time soon. Another cave with pictographs. It's amazing how great ancient minds think alike OR were they the SAME tribe going all over the world/earth? Hmmmm..... Great drone sequences and amazing landscape. Those rock formations looked like they were sleeping giants about to awake at any moment. Thanks for taking us here Noraly. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽
As it turns out.. Mopane Worms are the caterpillars of emperor moths.. 😳
Lovely. 😂
Hi noraly..
It is the spikes that are a turn off for me .
I am glad you tried our traditional food. Enjoy the beauty of Zim.
Ha ha ha!

That part made me choke on my tea
Altho the store keeper could have explained that it's dried kale & maybe add that drying is one of Africa's long standing food preservation method.
I don’t care what they eat in other countries. I don’t want worms

I ate many strange foods while overseas when I was in the Navy but usually it was preceded by several beers! You’re a warrior Noraly!
I like how every country you've visited has its own special thing. SA was super beautiful in scenery, Namibia had the most amazing people, Botswana had incredible wildlife, and nos I'm eagerly enjoying Zimbabwe, thank you!
I love it when Noraly uses her Geologist technical knowledge to describe the road underlations i.e "a Big Hole"
She's a really good narrator. She is actually living her dream.
Anyone else notice how Noraly's accent drifted from Dutch to Afrikaans during this trip when she is out and about.
Yes, the 1st time I heard her speak I thought she is Afrikaans.
Yes. Same thing happens here in New Zealand…so many people have changed from yeah to “Ja”
You were right Noraly …. They ARE Caterpillars.

Yes sir you're correct those are called exotic foods.
Any protein that doesn't strain the planet is a good protein. And the worms were crispy and salty....delicious with a beer.
Yes thats good with a beer ha ha..
Here in our country like beetles snake,farm rat for my understanding they are exotic food...but i didn't eat unless it cook well and season with spicy.
I don't think they need a hard stomach. I am originally from Hungary. We eat a lot of pork fat. That needs a hard stomach.
Yes Noraly Looks like Australian red sands Gondwana continent remnants. Africa is so magnificent so beautiful
Such a diverse video. From domestic to adventure/explorer, videographer and then trying the local exotic food. Always a delight!
Those Matopo rocks are a real nostalgia kick for me.

Thank you so much for sharing, so many places I'd like to visit, but cannot, and out of the blue, @itchyboots comes along and takes me on her rides. Danke, merci, muchas gracias
The Mopane worms are similar to the Witchity grubs in Australia but a different colour.Noraly is always ready to have a go at different foods.
Beautiful landscape there in Zimbabwe, and very friendly people you meet Noraly, you are the best. Thank you for this video again.
I'm so glad that you gave the mopane worms a try 😁😂. I'm South African, I had a taste as kid. I think I wanna try them again after that.
Years ago I did East Africa on motorcycle. Didn't see any rooms as nice as the ones you have until Addis Ababa ... mostly sticks mixed with what comes out the bac k side of a cow and painted over.... always sleep on top of the bed. I'm all for " when in Rome do as the Romans do "....But I draw the line at ... bug.
Beautiful episode. I admire your confidence and your ability to integrate into the environment, your lack of fear to be able to enjoy a meal completely alone without knowing exactly what surrounds you (considering that you are on the edge of the park with the world's largest population of leopards). A couple of things caught my attention: the first, how the use of masks has spread to the most remote places; the second is something that continues to surprise me, (although I have followed you from Uruguay since your first season) and it is how you do to orient yourself in the middle of nowhere, even with GPS. I can't believe those roads you travel are on the charts! Please tell me how you do it, I want to learn! Drive safe.
"Now it says´make U-turn´, but I am not listening. I keep going!" That says it all, Noraly.
Safe travels!
Those Mopane caterpillars are huge when they are still alive and just bear in mind that they are not usually eaten on their own but normally with pap and gravy . Make them a little bit more palatable. Like the music accompanying the drone shots. Beautiful.
Macimbi - the favourite food of my youth growing up on a farm outside Bulawayo - collected live from the leaves of the Mopane trees, squeezed out, washed and fried in butter. And then enjoyed with a plate of sadza and gravy. Thanks for all your amazing videos, Noraly. Your infectious laugh, mesmerising blue eyes and brave spirit to explore far flung places of the World has me hooked!
Noraly's Epicurean Adventures! Looks like the caterpillars weren't quite as bad as the surströmming, lol.
Beautiful locations in this video, nice people, happy puppies. You bring sunshine wherever you travel.
If you can stomach surstrømming the mopane worms will be a breeze
Goeie naand Noraleigh, what a great first experience to taste mopanie worm,, you give me a big smile on your experience, you really brave. Noraleigh the place you take your lunch, is that rocks for marble, what a great adventure,, Enjoy 🌹
Noraly, you really do have the best job in the world! And thank you once again for sharing it with us.
An we cook em a bit different in (owambo land) Namibia. When I was young in the north for holidays my grandma cooked and served me the mopane worms and I told her that I don't eat things with legs and today things with legs are my favourites. Thanks trying them. Hope I will try the Zimbabwean cooked sometimes.
😆 🤣 Worms, catapillars, rotting 🐟, what you try to eat is incredible haha. Fantastic footage as always. I was born in Bulawayo.. little glimpse of "home" .. thank you! Drone shots wow 👌
Beautiful riding there. The people seem wonderful as well. I love the old fellow with his bicycle. It is really eye opening when you go into the little stores and see how very little they have, or we in the western world have too much. Always look foreward to your videos. Thanks for taking us all along with you, even if only by proxy. Ride safe Noraly!
I am a flatland girl, but what an amazing mountain range! Thanks to drone footage, we are able to enjoy this amazing scenery!
In Zimbabwean terms, those are hills
The worms? Here puppies, come enjoy….😜😝I can’t try anything like that. I loved your breakfast though! What nice people. In the cave, to think that so many years ago we’re staying in those caves and painted and migrated. TY👍👍👍👍
Alex, I'll take "Things you won't catch me doing for 800":
"- This area is known for having the highest density of leopards in the world..."
"- Lets go find a cave"
:D
Noraly, your videos outshine all previous travel videos I've seen both on TV or the net. You have a certain "je ne sais quoi," distinctive, indefinable quality about your presentations and your wonderful self. Greetings from Canada, and looking forward to seeing all of your travels.
Hi, I admire your braveness on the greatest adventures of a life time, especially during these trying times. Doing a solo ride in unknown environments, unknow conditions and unknown destination is what life is about. I also ride locally in South Africa and from a motorcycle perspective, one gets to see places that aren't accessible to motor vehicles. Well done on awesome videos, commentary during your rides and living your life to the fullest! Safe travels Itch Boots and thank you for the amazing adventure your sharing with all of us following!
Best way to cook mopani worms is to soak them first to soften them up, preferably overnight.Boil them first and then fry them with onions and peppers and make a stew with tomatoes.
Yummy !😣😕😦😋 Wonderful example of the different "delicacies" that you have tried in your travels.
Thank you for the beautiful drone views of the amazing rocky terrain! 👀😃
I grew up south of Bulawayo. 5 kilometers from the main gate to matopo .. heck .. thanks for showing me .. it's been 15 years since I left zim Love your videos
Once again some spectacular footage. Thank you, Noraly
My favorite Efrikin dish - toasted mielie pap, samp and beans with madhumbies, mopane worms, marulas and cream - with some boerewors on the side
I find myself waiting for the next video like I'm watching a Netflix series. My favourite channel on You Tube by far.
Another wonderful adventure! Totally awesome Noraly, thank you for taking us with you on your fantastic travels
I really enjoyed the lovely conversation with the man on the bike. Good on you for giving mopane worms a proper try. I have only ever had a tiny nibble on a dried one and even that took all the mind control I had. It is very difficult not to think about the fact that they are catepillars, especially when you have seen how big and juicy they are when they are alive😆
Another great day along Noraly ... Thank You Brave Woman... for all your journeys and good work!!!!
Ruggedly stunning drone footage. Beautiful work Noraly, beautiful.
Love your videos...your a beautiful courageous inspirational adventurous women, with a beautiful positive soul, keep it up !!!
Your a brave soul....
The scenery is absolutely amazing well-done 👍 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe is open for more of your trips
We are watching and shocked!!! didn't know that Zim is so beautiful
Greetings from Texas. This episode brings back memories of eating fried grasshoppers in Mexico. Good times!
That map showing got puppy ambushed!
Cutest thing ever 🥰
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
Gosh that was a Funny Puppy and georgeous scenery Episode. There is even a big City in Germany called WORMS. With a lot of Wormsers in them wiggeling around 😁😁😁
Great video.....area I will not get to see if it was not for you....can't wait until
your next video.....Please take care on the roads...lots of chuck holes ! Take Care
Amazing landscapes and drone footage ❤️🇦🇺
Beautiful country, fantastic people. I miss the place. Enjoy.
I am riding where there are more leopards than anywhere else in the world.....reaches isolated location....lets have a picnic! LOL Woman you have no fear!!!! You are my hero!
Bulawayo, my old hometown. Before that Hwange. Although many moons ago, such wonderful memories. Beautiful country.
What magnificent scenery, making for pretty adventurous ride and the drone shots demonstrate the very dynamic history. you keep safe "itchy boots".
Agree. Just when you think you have seen every type of landscape imaginable along comes something new and completely different. The earth just keeps on giving.
Zim is the best l like almost everyone speaks English wow! That's beautiful
I absolutely love your cooking teacher.
The look she was giving you. Is Noraly going to up chuck
after one worm?
Bravo Noraly.
I had my steamed veggies first before watching you chow down on the little caterpillars.
My diet is vegetable based.
Hi Noraly. You amaze me with every video as to how adventurous you are. You are such a skilled rider that you call these rock-strewn, rutted and sandy paths, roads and have no fear of riding thru elephant and cheetah habitat. But eating worms! Thank you for brightening my day with every video you release.
This is so funny...a PINDA in dutch is a PEANUT so when Noraly saw a PINDA store she thought they sold snacks... little did she know that a witch at the counter turned all the peanuts into Mopane worms !!! Brave Noraly !!!
So PINDA in the zimbabwean language means GET IN .
Leopards - consumate ambush hunters and Noraly walks fearlessly in caves and sits with her back to rockfaces enjoying her lunch!! Awesome and then to top it off bites the head off a Mopane worm!! Eat your heart out David Attenborough.
Noraly, the expression on your pretty face, when you bit into that Mopane "caterpillar" was priceless. 🥺 You've showed me scenery that's beyond my wildest dreams.
Doesn't it make you wonder how those huge rocks got on top of the other boulders, or were they there from the beginning of time ? 🌎
I wish you infinite happiness throughout your endless journey.
Hey N,based on the look on your face, I'll not be trying those pudgy bugs any time soon. Another cave with pictographs. It's amazing how great ancient minds think alike OR were they the SAME tribe going all over the world/earth? Hmmmm.....
Great drone sequences and amazing landscape. Those rock formations looked like they were sleeping giants about to awake at any moment.
Thanks for taking us here Noraly. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽
