- In this episode, I ride from Dondo to the Kalandula Falls - but on the way, I follow an incredible dirt track through rural Angola, I cross the mighty Kwanza river again, and ride past a stunning rock formation which origins still remain a geological mystery until today.. what a day!!

After being constantly bombarded with everything that is wrong (and all that will go wrong) in the world, itchy Boots videos twice a week are such a welcome and needed celebration of all that is good. The beauty of the land, people, wildlife...so encouraging, inspiring, amazing. Thanks so much Noraly, your hard work is having such a positive impact. And the drone sequence at the river crossing---phenomenal!
Great comment, supporting all🎉the well wishes,
LOVE❤to Norali😊 😂 beautiful SOUL...LIGHT and JOY
Well said😂😂
Thank you Noraly !! Fantastic! Hug you, regards Susi
She's a light
I couldn’t have said it better. ❤
This brave and fearless woman. You're teaching me about Africa more than I've learnt about my continent in my 62 years on earth and living in Africa. You're the greatest.
I feel the same and isn't Angola remarkable! Thanks, Noraly!
Why is brave?
I was a Captain in the Canadian Army and served 14 months in Angola. I lived with Savimbi’s Unita/FALA in grass huts at many locations & with the MPLA/FAPLA trying to bring an end to the conflict and I was even in Cabinda where there was another group called FLEC that wanted separation (oil $$).
It was an amazing experience, yet dangerous at the same time. The war lasted over 20+ years. The country was destroyed, blown up vehicles strewn all over, no electricity, unmarked land mines everywhere and Cuban troops withdrawing. What a mess.
We had no chicken, beef or fish to eat for the first 6 months. The people, despite their conditions, were wonderful & generous, although they had nothing.
The number of amputees numbered in the thousands. A place of death and suffering then.
I am so happy to see the country has recovered a great deal and for the kind people of Angola. This video brought back memories, most of the bridges were destroyed then, so nice to see them reconstructed and the beautiful scenery.
I survived my tour years ago and think often of the Angolan people I knew who passed and those that survived.
God Bless Angola and its people.
Thank you for your service.
how wonderful to have played a part in helping this country and its people! 20 years of war... absolutely devastating
Thanks for these detailed accounts of your stay in this amazing country.🎖🎉
Sounds like you did it rough Mo beef for 6 months eeek
What a room
Oh my God, I am overwhelmed of how beautiful Angola is. Thank you Noraly for showing the world this jewel of Africa.
Isn't it? You hear so little about it.
Angola is beautiful
The fact that noraly is travelling 100s of kilometers with barely anything to eat & than filming & editing all along with a smile is just superhuman ❤❤
Could'nt agree more. She's amazing.
Yea she puts me to shame. Living my dream.
And African countries are very cheap
It is difficult for me to believe she edit by herself everything, I would like to have the answer
In Africa nothing to eat!
Does CZcams have awards for best content creators and best cinematographers, if they do we should all vote for Noraly
I'm not sure if CZcams have something like that 😊
I have thought that National Geographic should simply put her on contract to make videos for them. She does great work!
Me too
Agreed , she puts her life on the line for this content ❤
There is "CZcams Rewind". But they rarely reward great and original Content Creators...They rather reward Logan Paul and KSI amd other cringy useless CZcamsrs instead of actually intersting content creators.
Wow! Can we just give a standing ovation and HUGE round of applause to Noraly for all of the spectacular drone footage in this episode??!! Simply stunning!👏👏
Absolutely stunning worthy of an award. BBC TV try and beat this.
@@derekbilston9290 probably drone has a follow me mode or she is using a Hover X1
Absolutely agree!!
Kalandula Falls ….. amazing. You make the world more beautiful to show us all these beautiful places
Drone footage? I'm more impressed with her POV shots on her bike If I want drone footage I'll look for it...
Angola seems to be a real treasure, didn't quite expected that...beautiful!
Africa is very complex
Africa is beautiful everywhere. If you never visit places in Africa then you don't know
Never knew Angola is so beautiful...❤❤❤ The media only show the war in Angola
Exact 😊
Travel by road many times here in Angola.
It is indeed a beautiful country ❤
A very beautiful of course.
As of media, they only show the negatives aspect of everything, not the positives aspect.
Totally agree 👍
Right! And it’s crazy because the war ended more than 20 years ago
Well come to my country Angola, and enjoy Kalandula's water falls , we are so proud showing our natural beauty to the world . Thank you very much, we appreciated.
Thank you for coming to Angola 🇦🇴 and show all over the world what we have
Angola is a hidden diamond 😍
I felt something in me looking at that Calandula Falls "All Creation proclaims the glory of God" thank you for sharing your journey with us Noraly ❤
I grew up in Namibia, just next door to Angola, and have never heard of the Calandula Falls. The falls that get all the attention and tourism are the Livingstone Falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia.
Amen to that.
Amen
What a day for all of us in Itchy Boots Nation;Thanks for taking us along on that spectacular journey
Angola is not seen, Angola is felt in the heart!, Our land speaks how beautiful it is in our hearts, every mountain, every river, every landscape, every beach and every desert shows us its splendor, Angola is a love like no other, not rivers and mountains like those in our Angola, everything here is magical, we are the paradise of Africa! Welcome to the seventh wonder of the world! You're still only in the north, go south, and you'll see the best views of this continent, Serra da Leba, Tundavala, Namib Desert in Tombwoa,! Always come back to Angola and tell the world about Angola!
Re-watching multiple times because of so many incredible scenes. The drone imagery starting at 8:22 zooming away while Noraly rides across the "bridge over river Kawanza", then rising up to see the river slow and widen takes breath away. Perhaps my favorite scene. This, the rocks, and the incredible Kalandula falls will be favorites among stunning IB screen capture collection. Thank you Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤
Hey Jason, don’t know what is going on, I have replied twice to your comment regarding the film crew that Noraly responded to, and for some reason it will not post. So I am now trying to reply to another one of your posts and see if it goes. So yes I did read those comments and I am glad she replied. She can get quite blunt at times and that is what I call an “Atta Girl “ moment!!
Success..third attempt!!😜
I said it before and I will say it again. Angola is spectacular and you have taken us on the most wonderful adventure. Thank you
Angola, a country full of beautiful natural landscapes and towns full of friendly people, thank you for continuing to show us Africa. Take care of yourself
OMG those waterfalls were breathtaking- and ur room with a direct view of them! WHAT?😮😮😮❤❤
it blew my imagination❤❤
Angola is definitely an African treasure - a great eye opener 🙂
A country full of surprises! With a rich culture, a perfect climate and a stunning landscape. Thank you for making me travel to Angola, a country where I have family ties and memories that marked my youth!
So far Angola is one of the best places you have shown us in Africa, I would definitely visit it one day, simply marvellous places and very kind people. ✌🏻
Your “everything” is the stuff of fables. Your content is an eloquent testament to majesty of our planet. Thank you for showing us how beautiful it is and how universally nice rural people who are connected and attached to the land are.
Hi Itchy Boots. I am a youtuber from Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago. I did a collabo with African Tigress, in my home island Tobago. And I asked her who is one of her favorite youtuber. She said ITCHY BOOTS. I was clueless about this channel. Now , I am here because of her. CONGRATULATIONS❤❤❤❤
Absolutely amazing Noraly. Angola is looking like quite a place to visit. The standard of living seems to be much more inline with South Africa and Namibia. Excellent
There is no place like Africa. Has its own sunsets like you have never seen. Miss it 🌄
Angola looks so much organized and calm than I remeber it 10 - 15 years ago.
Thanks for super great video. You are the best youtuber
Thanks for show ANGOLA to World 🙏🙏💪💪
Angola is sooo beautiful. The waterfall took my breath away!
YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO BE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. THE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE.
I have to confess I didn't know that much about Angola, but the country really looks astounding and is quite a surprise to me (a very positive one).
i dont know how long you will be able to do this. I hope till 80 atleast. Itchy boots isnt a youtube channel , it's a legacy, it should be passed down to generations after. I get emotional hearing these epic sceneries with epic music, honored to be a part of your journey,
What a director you are ! Thanks for taking me to Angola !
Omg, those waterfalls🏞🌊🌈, like a paradise, i'm speechless, Africa truly is amazing♥️
Noraly - thank you so much for introducing me to the stunning natural beauty of Angola. I was so deeply moved to see your drone footage of the river Kwanza, those mysterious rock outcroppings, and the magnificent Calandula Falls. Those falls just took my breath away! What a treasure. 💗
Thank you for showing that we don't live in trees.
Last year when I told somebody I loved in Angola they were thinking we actually live in a tree or something.
Cant stop watching this, again and again.
3 times flying the drone in 1 episode. EPIC
Goosebums al the way.
Love Noraly
That hotel room view of the water fall is simply amazing!!!!!!
what a beatiful country ANGOLA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angola is STUNNING❤
I feel like, that was three Episode in one! the Bridge with the meandering River.
Then the Rocks that suddenly spread out to be a vaste Field of Formations...
And of Course the Waterfall..WOW 🤯🤩😍
Was thinking exact same thing!
Yes! One “jaw dropping” surprise after another!! Also followed by the view from her room!!😍
A geochemist turned an adventurer! Thank you for showing us the beauty of the African continent. I never knew a huge waterfall of this nature exists in Angola. I am always eagerly waiting for a new episode of your travelly from you each week. Cheers and safe trip all through!
Angola is absolutely breathtaking. Wow.
Amazing Angola! What a beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along.
AWESOME FALLS!
What a beautiful country
this was an awesome ride. Angola is just beautiful. Thank you for showing us your amazing rides.
Really undeveloped country. Amongst the previous countries this is the best till now! A lot of possibilities to feed humanity in the future , so we don't have to worry about that! That video of the bridge over the Kwanza and the might of the water bashing to the pillars it was relying on
that rock formation is stunning, gorgeous, and out of this world. The waterfall is out of this world. It seems to me that yu have seen some of the most beautiful places in this world and through your channel, you make us visit those places from the comfort of our homes. THANKS SO MUCH
Angola is beutiful, those stunning drone shots from the river, stone sediments and the falls priceless. Thanks Noraly, you are our unofficial tourism ambassador :)
Nothing sweetens my heart more than seeing Noraly drive through a well constructed road , with a beautiful landscape and that background soundtrack, it blows my mind. Makes me proud to be African.
Angola 🇦🇴 have such a beautiful landscape & they seem to be very nice people who takes life the way the see it.❤
Beautiful people, beautiful country, God bless Africa.
Love from 🇳🇬
@yes, but none of the roads, bridges, cities/towns, national parks, the few farms, etc, were built by the actual black Africans. There is ZERO stuff in Angola built by black Africans except the flimthy + smelly shanty-towns, etc. All the things worthy of mention were built either by European colonisers (by the Portuguese in the case of Angola) & the recent ones were built by the intrepid/industrious/hard-working Chinese. The 'gods' had built the African nature (forests, rivers, animals, etc) OK? We Africans are very disappointing. Bye.
So clean !
What a lovely video, Noraly! I must say, its much better in Angola than some of that other African countries where I was a bit nervous about your safety.
Something that not many other followers are perhaps noticing, I really appreciate the music you use with your videos. Congratulations with your good taste of music! 👏👏👏 Just love it!
This is one of the amaizing vids, Angola is beautyful
Thank you so much for this video 📷
I'm Angolan, and I love your videos 🫶
Lord, please continue to protect Norale and grant her more strength and grace.
Wow, Angola delivers...nice.
Wow! Angola is just pristine and amazing. Hope it stays this way....
Watching you from India, we have rivers, lots of them but rivers in Africa is no joke. Its end to end without sand and just dangerous flow. The water is brackish, pure and teeming with life. If Africa wants, it can be the effing epicenter of food world with those rivers and empty spaces to produce food.
It’s true! That’s my beautiful country Angola 🇦🇴❤️🥰
Africa is very beautiful continent in our planet. I love to visit. I already visit whole GCC countries from Dubai Uae. I travel everywhere in my Honda Africa twin now I’m planning to travel Africa.❤❤❤
This is absolutely beautiful right here in Angola
Just wow, I have been watching your videos for sometime, but this one has truly moved me with the natural beauty of Angola, what a stunning ride!! Thank you.
Wow wow!! Angola is spectacular, thank you for the drone views...love them
What a place , Amazing I see this vedio more than four time full hd Dron shots amazing Thankyou Noraly ❤❤❤
The water falls and the rock formations were spectacular. That should be a tourist attraction in Angola. Thanks Noraly for sharing. I see like a Niagara falls type experience here. Wow.
Wow, your drone shot of the Kwanza River Bridge is incredible, and the Calunda Falls and the black stones of Pungo Adongo are simply breathtaking! Have you ever considered sharing these stunning sights on platforms like Wikipedia or Google Map reviews? Your unique perspective and adventures is truly inspiring, and I believe others would benefit from experiencing these locations through your lens.
Your experiences are incredibly enriching. I've been learning a lot from your travels, and I'm sure others have too. Your personal touch adds charm to your explorations, making them relatable and authentic.
I dare say your adventures rival those featured in National Geographic series! Your ability to capture the essence of these places makes you a powerhouse. Keep up the amazing work, and continue sharing your extraordinary journeys. You're making a difference, one stunning shot at a time!
My father, a Navy Officer, before the Independence of Angola, was studying the rivers at South. We were located at Lubango (before Sá da Bandeira). He literally went to places where nobody had gone before. In Portuguese, they were called "terras do fim do mundo". Lubango and surroundings are beautiful. Anyway, in a big country, as Angola is, you find a lot of gorgeous places. Good luck.
What a wonderful place. I'm planning my ride through Africa, for sure Angola will be in my route.
This entire episode is a huge feast for the eyes! And you've offered so much stunning footage for years, of course but those falls are another level. Absolutely stunning, and stunning filmed. Thank you so much!
It's also fun to see you enjoying firmer terrain and, after weeks? months? in the West African mud, basically being able to whip through the rutted/water channeled - but drier - roads in Angola.
Truly the most spectacular sights in your journey through Africa so far. Angola is truly a unique paradise. Well done Noraly for exploring these countries off the beaten roads.
In Australia there is only one word to describe the beauty on display here...."fanbloodytastic"!!!!
Amazing video and drone footage over Kawanza river and Kalandula falls. The rock formation mystery was also cool. Angola is indeed beautiful. Thank you. You are a brave traveler Noraly. Safe travels always.
Incredible shots of picturesque republic de' Angola. The rocks formation in phenomenal. Waterfall is majestic. Much love from 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Amazing rode, amazing countryside, amazing waterfall. Seems you struck gold with Angola. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg
thanks for showing us beutiful country am happy for angola
Big WOW. What incredible scenery in Angola. And those tarmac roads look deserted.
Wow! Thanks for this amazing content Norally. Never knew Angola is this beautiful. Wow! And also, you bring these contents to us freely.
The only way am gonna support you is to watch your ads without skipping. God Bless you.
KEVIN from Kenya.
Nice ride in Angola, Beautiful Landscape, lush greenery an spectacular waterfalls.
What an Epic episode. Angola seems amazing. I actually want to go there,
Amazing waterfall mind blowing Angola
Lush turns out to be an understatement in this area of Angola. A thousand shades of green, at least! The falls are epic and so are the rock outcroppings.
Noraly, your videos have been such an inspiration to me! After watching your incredible journeys, I couldn't resist the call to adventure any longer. I finally took the plunge and bought an old bike to start my own journey. It's amazing how your travels and storytelling have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the world on two wheels. Thank you for sharing your adventures and motivating me to embark on my own. Here's to many more miles of exploration and unforgettable experiences!
Angola gets 2 👍👍 up ! Those falls too 🤍 Great episode scenery and drone footage. You nailed it again.
Angola is amazingly Beautiful 💚🩵🧡those were wonderful shots also Noraly📷👌
Those rocks literally took my breath away, tears were trickling down my cheeks! And then I saw the waterfalls! Oh my good God.
Angola is much more advanced Africa than most. Looks like I will need to make a visit
I worked in travel for 15 years but know little about West Africa so am loving learning about the different climates, terrain, languages and people. Thanks for sharing! I only recently found your channel (3 weeks ago) so am now catching up on previous trips as well as following where you are now and am really enjoying it. Thank you and stay safe x
Angola is a beautiful country, thank you Noraly for yet another stunning sceneries and incredible episode
A wonderful and successful trip.
I think that Angola is one of the most beautiful countries in terms of weather
Visual pleasure to the max
Thank you, my dear, and from Saudi Arabia, I wish you success
Wow! I have to say I'm pretty close to the Niagara Falls in upstate New York near the Canadian border and have been there but those waterfalls in Angola look absolutely breath-taking and unbelievable, really! I never knew about those waterfalls in Africa - thanks so much for sharing and glad you finally got your motorbike all sorted out previously! Have a safe and blessed day and week Noraly!
I always wondered what Angola looked like. Thank you so much for showing me.
There are things we can only see here, like that huge river. Thanks for showing the world to us.
my country, thank you to be here.
As soon as she crossed into the bridge ,I was like "PLEASE set the Drone up"!!!Girl , that was EPIC!!!😍😍😍What a beautiful Landscape and the people are very Friendly as well. Awesome Footage. Thank you Noraly.I love my Sunday Itchy Boots Treat😎 God speed & cheers from Germany🏳🌈
Glorious - that first view of the falls made us catch our breath!!! Beautiful, beautiful Angola, thank youuuuuu!!!! 👍🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful place, well done Noraly, exploring the African continent,much love and appreciation.
Sólo por ver Angola, ya merece la pena todo el viaje x África occidental. Qué pasada
Never occured to me that Angola would show up on my "to go" list, until today. Amazing place, amazing video.
Gosh, that was a deeply emotional experience. The extraordinary beauty of those waterfalls warmed my heart and bewitched my mind. Thank you Noraly for the outstanding images. Extraordinary Africa! Also, the kindness and gentleness of the people from Angola... so exquisite!
Thank you 🙏🏼 this is the most amazing video from Angola 🇦🇴 and I from Angola
The drone footage in this video is right up there with the best that we have seen on this truly incredible channel. Angola was never on my radar but boy oh boy what a stunningly beautiful country.
