We DO appreciate A LOT your time spent behind computer & editing material! (definitely not wasted but well invested time!) thank you!
Thank you Skorec, for putting my shared feelings for Noraly in to words.
@@genestatler2514 same here
Absolutely agree with that 😎
Fully agree!
Folks in Texas agree.
The children singing "bwana wa mabwana leo ainuliwe" in swahili translate to "king of kings be Praised". Amazing song.
Hallelujah!!! Then you have power over all "snakes"!
I was wondering what that joyous song was! Thanks!
How we used to sing that song in the villages down in East Africa while young, that was a tear dropping point to me, memories!, Asante sana
Kenyan song she should vist Kenya
Perfect music choice on entering Botswana
Found myself wondering how many times over the last couple years I've heard Noraly say.. "Welcome to........." What a trip you've given us all Noraly! With each border crossing I'm holding my breath hoping there is no problem.....Always feel a sense of relief in hearing, "so.. Welcome to...... "
How many times have we heard "you are alone?? Are you scared??"
Yes Namibia was nice 👍🙂 Noraly loves it, new adventure in Botswana Countryside already is different the trees and Noraly lucky got new tyres yes in this Sand Road's make a big difference 10 - 4 appreciate your Drone view very much awesome to see from above so nice 👍 this little think 🤔 I also fly Rc helicopter 🚁 too.
Take care Noraly, be safe in Botswana good 🤞 luck for adventure.
Many border crossing but that's okay,
Why problem? Southern Africa is very friendly...unless you're totally crazy...
So glad you enjoyed Namibia and we all hope to see you back soon! As said, there is so much more to see 😊 Save travels!
Believe me Noraly, your videography efforts are very much appreciated. Thank you so much!!!
Your sadness in leaving Namibia was palpable. I think that whole series of videos were among the most striking and moving stories you have produced. I can’t wait to see what adventures lie ahead for you in Botswana.
I hitch hiked twice the length of Namibia...once with a broken leg...
I'm m really.sorry to hear that Drew
I agree
@@francoiswilliams Do you want a medal or a monument ?
Just messing with you .
Before Boots all I knew about Namibia was the skeleton coast and the desert landscape. After Boots I'm love with Namibia. God bless you all namibians and your beautiful country. Portugal here.
Thank you.
Thank you for showing parts of my country of birth that I have never seen before Noraly! There are many people worldwide who now know much more of Namibia.
Yes, absolutely. Who else could put Namibia on our bucket list! Well, it's there now!
It’s always exciting to watch a border crossing and the preparations for traveling in a new country. You make it look so easy, but I know you spend hours on preparing for those crossings. It is so amazing to watch how everyone waves and greets you with such kindness. Enjoy Botswana, Noraly! Let’s Go!
Botswana is a lovely country. I was there for a couple of years ago and I really fell in love with the country. The oldest democracy in Africa and no internalt war since the beginning.
Noraly: “ so, I’m sure one day I’m coming back.”
Then we all will be joining you again, have no doubt about that whatsoever!
I am so "Thankful" that you share your adventures with all of us❣
Ye I totally relate to how she felt about leaving Namibia. It has a very unique atmosphere and character. It's been so refreshing watching and having flash backs.
@@kevintyrer45 couldn't agree more, Namibia is uniquely beautiful.
Every time Noraly enters a new country it has been a habit of mine to join her say "Welcome to__" with excitement😊 It has been a privilege for me to discover 35 countries virtually and counting , I've learned a lot and enjoyed every adventure! It really opened my eyes since the beginning and learned to appreciate how uniquely beautiful every country is. Thanks Noraly for your "Itchy boots" 🙌 Take Care and safe ride! 😊
Welcome to Botswana 🇧🇼
Savannah has new shoes and ItchyBoots has a new border crossing
Oh Em Gee 🏁🏍🏁
The track playing right after you’ve entered Botswana, kids singing, is a Kenyan song in Kiswahili! So lovely to hear it. Thanks for sharing your journey, Noraly.
@DAYDREAMZ STUDIOS YES!! Beautifully done and absolutely perfect for the shot.
Wow! I thought it sounded so familiar :-)
I was also amazed. Awesome
What is the name of the song and/or this particular recording - love it! Thanks

There was a bank, then they broke it down, and now they are building a new one.. :D
Enjoying your videos from my comfortable chair here in Denmark. I'm to old to do such stuff myself.
You are just making my day every time there is a new video out.
I am sure I speak for most of the world population saying that we love you for what you do :)
Yes Robert Voje I agree also!
I was told by a dear friend "You can leave Africa but Africa will never leave you".
So true, I spent my childhood in Tanganyika and Uganda, good memories, afraid to go back now as it might spoil the memories.
Yip... Was born in Southern Rhodesia (Salisbury) from a 3 week old baby 'til 4 year old was fortunate to have been breast-fed by a wonderful Shona lady - Hannah - whose face is still very much in my mind's eye... Then we went to Northern Rhodesia (Lusaka Zambia)... Had a halcyon childhood... Lived in an Army Camp opposite Government Houses... Changing of the Guard (as is done at Buckingham Palace) full Regimental band of Askaris... Was exciting stuff for kids... Fruit trees were our mainstay... Mango Grove in our garden... Peach tree... Banana tree... Avocado tree Full of HUGE fruit... When they fell, earth reverberated!!! Pet monkey Barney... 9' Python snake called Joe... We had it all... Rhodesian war was inevitable... Parents left 1961... headed for the Union - RSA... Never a dull moment... MUST WRITE A BOOK...
There is an old saying that if you wear out one pair of shoes in Namibia you will never leave. Do come back please. You have been a great ambassador for our beloved Namibia.
Where in Namibia?
Savannah has got new shoes in Namibia, so ……
Noraly, I understand your sadness at leaving Namibia. I too have been there and felt that sadness. And I am going back in November. Namibia affects the mind and soul of all who visit her. Look forward to seeing you back in Namibia in the not to distant future. Safe travels.
Noraly, you inspired me to go to Iran ... and I did in 2019 ... and I had a wonderful time. Now I must go to Namibia. Safe travels and thank you for so much happiness delivered in these challenging times.
yes Mike you defintely should. but be carefull with one little think ( and im sure Noraly will agree with me) . you could be addicted and put it on your to do list EVERY years ;-)
Spent a very stressful week changing jobs and I just sat down reading my former colleagues goodbye cards. And the new Noraly episode is out. The cards can wait!
Music to my ears.... You coming back to visit Namibia!!!! The music as you entered Botswana had me tapping my feet. Excited to see Botswana with you 😁😁
That was a Swahili song used towards at the end. You will need they when you get to Tanzania 🇹🇿/ Kenya 🇰🇪. I enjoy every episode from you Norally.
"A person, a person!" And such a person. Yes, I liked this video. Am also re-watching from India on... And this: "There is no point in making the plan, you know." A theme for our time.
Noraly, the amount of riding/exploring and video production (of such high quality) is amazing.
Noraly...I really like the details you provide about the logistics involved with your travels such as customs, immigration, even lack of an ATM requiring "cash back"! These things lend a GREAT deal to your videos along with your research into the geography, zoology, geology and history of the people wherever you go! Thank you so much!!
Namibia what an incredible country, thank you Noraly... and Namibia will welcome you with open arms.. what an amazing trip you had through Namibia and what an amazing job you have done in taking Namibia to the world.. I salute you and safe travel.. from a true Namibian..
Amazing Namibia. Where else can one park a motorbike in the middle of the road, refuel and even operate a drone without worrying about oncoming vehicles?
"Itchy Boots" worldly adventures ... each episode is more than I could hope for ... peace on earth, goodwill toward man ... more power to you Noraly!
An interesting thing whit this africa-trip is that Noraly clearly shows that you dont have to have a big bmw gs 1200,ktm 1290,or whatever...a tiny 250cc does the job equaly well
I remember traveling across Zambia with my Mom and brother to explore Malawi in a Morris Minor 1000cc. The tyres looked like biscuts and max speed was about 80km/hr.
If not better, very few petrol stations and Savanna not using that much
@@paul.van.santvoord1232 completley true,and cheaper maintenance..but savanna shoud like a adventure-tank that holds more petrole
So sad to see you leaving our beautiful country 🇳🇦 but any ways its all great, more adventure and exploring.
God bless on your journey Noraly! thank you for bringing the world closer to us!!
I second that 💯 %!!
Goodbye Namibia and Hello Botswana. It was a wonderful adventure with Noraly and Savanah touring Namibia! I am so looking forward to this next adventure Noraly. Stay safe, keep well, and happy trails.
Noraly "Itchy Boots" and Savannah in Botswana... The Adventure Continues!
(Savannah in Botswana? How poetic!)
I was born in Zimbabwe but I can tell you, if you want to see what the whole of Africa could be like if there wasn't rampant corruption and tribalism, Botswana is the perfect example.
Agreed.
How about she goes to see Zimbabwe for her self, lots of private companies that need tourist eyeballs and receipts.
Hey there, I lived in Zimbabwe in 1974 when smith was still in power, loved it had a great time. So sad to see state
of the country now.
Thank you ALL for appreciating my Country 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
I mean i would say perfert, but yeah😁
Some of those Namibian landscapes you rode through were absolutely stunning. I’ve ridden through similar Australian landscapes, and your drone shots capture the desert colours and textures so well. Thanks Noraly!
Noraly "the desert Fox", hunting for the unique in Botswana.
A day of travel, border crossing, logistics and new adventures in a new country never before explored by Noraly.
😢 Namibia in the rearview mirror 😢 "I'll be back!" 😉
Botswana, here we come! 😃👀👀
Happy Trails 🏍🏍
Loved the new music with the children singing! Wishing you continued safe travels, dear Ms Schoenmaker. John Oosterhuis in Iowa USA
Oh the vastness and openness of Africa, I just love it . These video's are really making me thirsty for some exploration. I am loving your journey Noraly.
Welkom to Afrika bru
Lived in Francestown Botswana in the 70's in my early 20's great country, great people, fantastic nature. I'm sure things have not changed much. 😃 🐘 🦒 🦁 🐒
haha Maun village is now turning into the 3rd CITY , Francistown has developed far beyond , Interchanges that Gaborone doesnt have ..ofcourse Gaborone has bigger interchanges coming , but in terms of change your jaw will drop
I love reading the comments on this channel. A really nice group of folks!
Isn't it lovely to read the comments and, so unusual these days, no pettiness and hatred.
I hope this comment isn't going to curse the channel 🙄
Yes, we have to come back to Namibia, a lot of nostalgia for the desertic country where I would like to live.
You will love Botswana too Noraly. What a wonderful channel. Your attitude to adventure and courage is amazing! Keep it up. As a south African currently based in London, I have thoroughly enjoyed your trip around Southern Africa so far. I look forward to following you along your journey.
Looking forward to the "Welcome To Botswana" hand wave.
My first impression of Botswana: interesting, very interesting !
Looking forward for a lot of awesome videos from you 👍👏👏👏.
Have a nice and safe trip in this lovely country.
Noraly you are most welcome to come back to NAM; the Land of the Brave, the wide open spaces, endless horizons and the beautiful people will always let you feel at home .. enjoy Botswana and all future adventures on our continent and elsewhere around the globe 🌍
So nice. I knew you would fall in love with Namibia. Many years ago. I flew with the aeroplane to Grootfontein, Rundu and Mapacha. The Caprivi is beautiful. I haver been to Botswana. Can't wait to see where you are going.
Hello Noraly,
"are you not scared?" no......
"not afraid being alone?" no......
that is always so much fun when people can't believe that you are on your own. I just thought about how many different stamps you have in your passport. Looking forward your adventures in Botswana, stay save and healthy and as always keep the rubber to the road, greetings from Germany.
No it is not fun at all. that question should not even exist , to ask if she be scared to travel.......But ok, i know how you have mean it.
Ulrich, das Wort ist "safe", nicht "save". "Safe" ist gesichert/geborgen, und "save" heist sparen.
I bet she was a LITTLE scared of that rhino a couple episodes back! xD
@H P Uh, more than in USA for example??
Noraly, I am still amazed at your mastery of sand riding. Thanks for sharing some of the logistics that are required to do this amazing life. War Eagle and safe travels!
I too felt a little sad you were leaving Namibia as your videos of that wondrous country were phenomenal. I admire your dedication and hard work to provide us with such great content. Have safe and fun adventures in Botswana
Noraly you are gonna LOVE Bostwana, some of my best memories are from when i was still a teenager, camping with my family in Botswana, it is amazing there. Enjoy it.
The crossing into Botswana was just as simple as I expected. The customs and immigration people are very good on both sides of the border. No surprise that they were happy to see you.
The shop allowing 1500 Pula was more than an ATM in Otse allowed when I was there several years ago. They were worried about People being robbed.
Noraly thank you for marketing Namibia. We appreciate you.
Itchy - Namibia was spectacular! That country was a perfect fit for your skills!
Is so sad to see you leave the land of the brave, Namibia…hope to see you back soon.
Southern africa is so lovely
The drone footage at the beginning! I kept stopping it to really take in what I was seeing. Beautiful! Your entry music to Botswana made my heart so happy. And it was startling at first, with all the children along the road. Did the border guards call ahead and alert them that Noraly is on her way, so prepare a welcome song?! 😃 Now I'm excited to experience your adventures in the land of "Ladies Detective Agency".
Ladies Detective Agency, Thanks had to look that one up.
"The Number One Ladies Detective Agency!"
@@breitie804 Ah, yes. I wrote that too quickly.
I was very relieved when you turned onto the sand road! No traffic to dodge, just wild animals and snakes of which you are so accustomed! Beautiful drone footage and nice to change countries. Ride safe Noraly!
Love Botswana. As you're near Tsodilo hills, there are fabulous bushman paintings there. Need a local guide.
That snake looked like a bad one.
Take care, have fun.
Thank you for a wonderful tour through Namibia. your drone footage on leaving for Botswana is a fitting exit, I really hope you get back there some day to continue the tour, it has been a real eye opener to a beautiful country. Stay safe Itchy Boots.
The children waving to you leaving Namibia and entering Botswana (and donkeys)...and the song you chose...perfect! Thank you so much Noraly for all your work to bring us these amazing videos!
Yay! New episode's out! Always looking forward to every episode of your journey.
Love the music when you got into Botswana, and all the happy kids waving, is lovely.
Wow the Cash and Carry was not what I expected. They have a mall too? I did not know it was that modern over there.
Noraly you are like an onion every time I watch your videos it makes me cry. I don't know why it just does. You are such a blessing to this sick sad world that is around us now you keep putting the good positive things back into it.
Fine white dust of roads got in EVERYWHERE!!! Magnificent country...Namibia... Definitely left a piece of my heart there... Cape Town too... But Gqeberha (PE) also lovely... Friendly peeps & lush green...
Noraly, I keep saying how proud I am of you, you are in my prayers for your safety and I'm so enjoying your journey. Take care.
In my opinion the Caprivi/kavongo strip is the most beautiful part of Namibia, VERY GREEN, rivers, hippos, elephants and so...
Korrek, Bag an I?
@@francoiswilliams Bagani? Some call it Divundu
Happy to see u in next country BOSTWANA. sure have a more fun and adventure.
like your exciting voice "Welcome Toooooo Bostwana...." :)
Botswana is my favourite country in Africa. Really positive attitude to life.
After ONHERBIKE came to Namibia, I thought they would meet...
I learn more from Noraly than from OnHerBike.
So unfortunate that the two best female motorcycle adventures didn't came across each other, anyway let's keep 🤞
I was looking at the intro video when you first took Savannah for a test drive in JHB ,and how far you have travelled and seen so much since then and more than that , taking us along with you, Noraly thank you!
Quite a process crossing the border into a new country like Botswana. Getting cash, a new sim card and pass for Savannah. Glad that it all went well and seemed rather seamless. Enjoy the ride and thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
THE Drone shots are extremely beautiful and well recorded
Nice work on the conversation as well keeping the viewer always busy
Noraly, you should also play the theme music from "Star Trek"....."boldy going where no one has gone...." You are truly a trooper !!!
It would be nice too see more replies from you but I now understand that the editing of the video's take up so much of your time.
Keep up the good work 😃
Noraly was visibly emotional about leaving Namibia - and having followed her exploits in that wonderful country, you can see why - great drone footage too.
Best wishes for your stay in Botswana - stay safe, ride safe, take care and thank you for showing us the wonderful country of Namibia. 🏍👏 🇳🇦🇧🇼
You have finally come to Botswana 🇧🇼😭😭remember requesting this months back 🥺🥺🥺missing that magnificent country
Thanks for all the work you put in the video’s, absolutely love it!
I have seen many of your vlogs now. What I admire is that while driving on the roughest dirt roads, you are making all kind of comments, providing information and making jokes with a cheerfull voice. Chapeau! Echt fantastisch!
I have watched every episode of all your series and it was so special to see your footage of areas where I live near Cape Town and later of areas in Namibia where I was stationed while in The South African Defence Force in 1978 during their bush war. It still looks the same. Safe travels.
Brilliant as always
Another amazing adventure in a new place! Thank You Noraly! 💙
Noraly has me researching how to relocate to Namibia from America.
Wow, what a cheerful musical Welcome to Botswana! I love the country already now!
Thank you for sharing your adventure 🌷
No Road is Too Long if You Have Good Company! Noraly we are with you 😘❤️
A little less 'stressful' this time, but never the less just as enjoyable.
Excellent choice of music for the entrance into Botswana . What an epic journey during these trying times. I wish Noraly good health and good times.
It was a nice experience to have you in NAMIBIA 🇳🇦, some of us never got a chance to explore our COUNTRY thanks to you
It was easy to say WELCOME but it's hard to say GOODBYE, I hope you really come back one day
Stay strong NORALY and god bless you
Jy mag maar weer terug kom na ons mooi land Jys n pragtige mens Jesus seen jou op jou pad🙏🇳🇦
ನೊರಲಿ ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಿಂದ
How many Indians are watching here! 🇮🇳
Incredibly beautiful!!
Once again, excellent video.
This should be good. Gaberone Botswana was my home during my high school years, 1972-75.
Don't be sad about leaving Namibia, Noraly. It's only a border that seperates it from beautiful Botswana.
borders only exist in our brains
i like these postcards from kontinents without clouds....
Do appreciate your sharing your journey
Another gem of a video
When I grow up i’ll be like Noraly and travel all around the world on a motorcycle and I will ................ 😳 Ohhh, wait .........
Uhmmmm ........... 😬 ......... bugger .......
Damn ..... 🤔
Thank you, for all the time you put into this channel
Always a Big thumbs up every time x
Playing catch up now you are recuperating from your crash. I have this and Series 6 to watch . Great to see Namibia, I was there in 2023 and loved it. I must also go back - such a magical place.
