- In this video, I am riding from Foumban, to Melong, in Cameroon. Around Melong, I visit the gorgeous Ekom falls, and ride up to Man And Woman lake, on top of a volcano. But the rain keeps on making the journey very hard, and this day is no exception...

Noraly, as an old man, I am in awe of your courage and tenacity. You, young lady, are absolutely awesome. Please, take care. 🤗
What caught my attention most about this entire adventure in Africa so far was the joy, camaraderie and solidarity of the African people. Simply amazing. That and the wonders of nature. Mother Africa is impressive in every aspect. Thank you, Noraly, for bringing all of this to us.
Stavo cercando di trovare le parole e ho trovato questo che tu hai scritto. Si sono così vere,naturali,amichevoli ecc Io
>.> they are literally in a war with each other, the entire Sahil region is fighting north to south, with nato forces supporting the current regimes, and countries.
@@GlasbanGormturnoff the tv and take a trip like Noraly. It will enrinch your life.
@@GlasbanGorm you are a media clown , just turnoff your TV and Come see the Real Africa 🇨🇲
@@GlasbanGormand your point is ....?
I"m just in love with how people readily come to the aid of a stranger in need. Rural Africa is so beautiful.
Africans born and raised in rural areas are trained to help and support each other. That’s why when we grow up and get an opportunity to travel to the western world for greener pastures, they try to manipulate our belief in humanity to pay or us low pay checks and when we retaliate because we are educated, they consider us stubborn, oh my sweet home Africa 🤦🏽
It’s very much African culture, almost like everyone is already family. At least that’s how most treat each other. There’s always some bad apples in every bunch though.
They are so helpful even the women when you get stuck in the mud. Lovely people.
I love how you eat what you get and always enjoy your meal without complaining....❤
I was born in those mountain regions of Cameroon. Glad to see my birthplace again after all these years
now at the meantime where are you Sir?
@@mixedfarming3414 I’m in the United States now Sir/Ma’am.
What a beautiful place. I'm actually a bit jealous of the people who live there, although perhaps their lives might be tough.
@@joedonner9476so the thing is when you’re born there, you don’t really have much to compare against cuz it’s your “new normal” you don’t really get to think you’re poor cuz those around you live in very similar circumstances so that’s the life you know. We cultivate our own food so we rarely go hungry and that to us is wealth. Only when you step out of the rural areas and go into the cities and interact with others that you kinda feel poor but we’re always contented cuz we know some people don’t even have food to eat but we do and it makes you want to work hard to do better for your family
@@kizitobewah2166Wow such touching words. But I guess you're one of the richest people on Earth - because you're so open minded, so helpful and as I looked like on the people (not sure about the rural area) you guys are still happy and still smiling and having fun. Even if you don't live on the highest living standard, but you're still helping out each other and even foreigners. I think this is what is totally missing from the 'western' world...but you can compare it now as you're living in the States now - so what do you think?
The cop was spot on. You are an incredibly courageous woman.
Hi Noraly thanks for making me see my village Bangem on CZcams, it would have been great if you went to the lake with a villager who would have explained more about the lakes, The Twin Lakes of Muanenguba are a pair of crater lakes on Mount Muanenguba located in Bangem, Kupe Muanenguba subdivision in the South West Region of Cameroon is a twin lake which is a male and female lake, lake Muanenguba is very popular, I think the title of this video would have been something like "Female and Male Twin Lakes of Muanenguba, Cameroon"
Noraly, no wonder you gather so much good karma as you travel - you're the only rider I know who says "please" and "thank you" when passing a herd of cows. Very kind indeed.
Lovely comment. 🐿️🍃
I don’t mind telling you that I got quite emotional when those nice people helped you get unstuck and on your way. You’ve shown us how beautiful the world and its people are. I can’t thank you enough.
none of these souls has been contaminated by the begging culture and corruption
Same here, santino5617.
It's funny most of the time. The richer the people are the less inclined to help others. These people who have next to nothing. Are all ways there if they can help out. And money isn't the motive. Yes it's appreciated. But that's not the reason. It's love for people and to help each other. It's sad to say a lot of us have forgotten how to live. We have moved on to the me, me, attitude and stuff any body else! And Itchy boots has shown us there is still nice people around! Respect is the word for this! Love all your photos and what a life! We are all the way with you.every steep! Every hill, every water crossing. I have never seen another program like this or even close to it. What A adventure. And what a love of people and cultures, and of the weather! Thank you! Itchy boots.
@@ronlumsden3164 What you say is generally true (there are exceptions) about the richer-less help. Many years here in the 🇺🇸 I drove a home appliance delivery truck. We knew if the address was in a fancy development we wouldn’t be getting a tip.🤷🏼♂️. Amazing how someone just happens to show up when Noraly needs help!?! Good karma goes around too! Stay safe and healthy Noraly!
Oh gawd.
The Cameroonian countryside is so beautiful,this beauty has to be protected and preserved at all costs so that future generations can witness it cause it truly is amazing.Much love to my fellow Africans in Cameroon,all the way from South Africa❤🇿🇦
Good
The level of poverty here and corruption makes tough to protect the environment. It's a pity
Much love to you too from Cameroon❤️
@@atangapaul1141 Poverty of the mind or poerty materially? I think we should look at other peoples in other countries and then ask ourselves if our level of poverty isthe lowest. I don't know where you are, my brother, but there are many many areas and countries where corruption is way higher, like Western Europe and the USA,, for example.
As a Cameroonian I believe that our country has a lot of potential with its landscape mountains volcanoes rain forest green everywhere diverse cultures the ability to communicate in both languages French and English, there’s more needs for investors in the tourism sector knowing that the government and locals on their own can not do much to promote these areas, thank you Noraly for bringing visibility to this remote communities continue to do what you do best travel safe out there
It looks beautiful!
I totally agree with you, the course on the continent are the so called leaders.
But your roads are very bad
My roots are in Nigeria, but I have to give credit where it's due. Cameroon 🇨🇲 looked amazing. The people featured were all so nice.
I agree, it seems to be a very nice country with interesting artwork like the wooden door at the museum, the bronze sculptures, amazing history like the one with the kings and the 2 snakes and the spider and a mesmerizing landscape and really really nice kind and friendly people. If only the roads are better so that the people ( locals and tourists)are able to have access to those areas.
The amazing thing about Africa is that despite the immensity and emptiness, if you stop on the road within minutes people will appear and give you help and help is given out of genuine concern and hospitality.
We respect and care about people and foreigners in Africa but sad we Africans don’t treat that way when you travel out to other people country or continents so sad 😭
The Ekom Falls were so beautiful, and the countryside just as spectacular. I love the way you said "thank you" to the cattle when they moved away so you could pass. Loved this episode, Noraly.
Love it!,, even thanking cattle for moving!
One interesting thing about this video is that Noraly crossed from the French speaking part of Cameroon into the English-speaking part. Which is why at the beginning she speaks with locals in French, then speaks with locals in English around the time she goes to visit the twin lakes.
The name of the guy and family who helped you get unstuck is Divine! You received divine support!
Two books by naturalist and author Gerald Durrell, published long, long ago in the 1950's, tell of his collecting trip to what was then British Cameroon. Those books are the single reason why today I am a biologist, with many, many years of work and research in Africa. In those days, far behind me now, I was also a motorcyclist, criss-crossing mainly East, North East and Southern Africa on an old Yamaha XT500 and later an early BMW R80GS. Thanks, Noraly, for sharing your remarkable rides and bringing back such wonderful memories.
Great to read how you were inspired by Durrell - My Family and Other Animals started me on the same journey. The XT500 is a superb bike for that kind of terrain - I bet you have some great stories to tell.
You should definitely share your story and experience! That would be interesting for people to read or listen in on!
It’s amazing to read your comments here on Itchy Boots vlogs ….. now thats another aspect of Noraly’s work , one gets to meet some amazing people too. Mr John Osborne , from what i gather from your comment, you may have many stories about your African rides. It would be great to hear them.
Cameroon is beautiful, and the people who helped you were so nice. The police were great too. Everyone is so friendly and respectful. Thank you for showing us the wonder of Africa!
That is the real Africa for you.
just keep safe
You've traveled through the Pamirs in Tajikistan, you'll like it
Cameron is Beautiful and Green. GOD Bless Africa. GOD BLESS NIGERIA 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬.
Everyday people helping everyday people. That's how it should be everywhere! Noraly is the worlds greatest ambassador!
Thank you Noraly for another day of adventure riding ... those twin waterfalls spilling their content into that giant bowl below is what represents Africa as our Great Mother😘
Not many people realize how heavy the bike becomes when pushing it uphill on very slippery, muddy roads yet along come friendly locals willing to give Noraly a hand, what a magnificent treasure are African people🌟
And to finally get up to what appears to be a crater lake with magnificent views ... stunning!!!
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s gooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
🙏 LET'S GOOOOOO!❤
Love from earth
Hi Stefano, wish you a happy new year!
Yes let's goooo
Lol❤
🤩 Wow The lady in the purple and yellow dress. What a smile! And her husband so kind "May I help you?" Double wow for the totally lush caldera filled with water. Surely many many thousands or millions of years ago since that eruption. Usually we see them with cinder rock and toxic steam rising up. Awesome. Thank you Noraly.
@cre8tvedge if you really want to help her I can help you connect with her that's my village
I like the helpful spirit of these African villagers, especially when one is stuck on the road.. They are very willing to help and thats a thumbs - up.... following and watching from Kampala Uganda East Africa
As an African, I can say that you are brave, I enjoy your adventures. This is what life is all about, to do what you love.
In other words , follow your passion. But,.....when she was up at the lake, ...who was on that other motorcycle ? They made it up there, too. Who was that ?
Question my friend is there anything in return for africa. She complaining about paying a lil Bit more for a ferry everyboddy knows ITS comen to give Police a lil Bit Money .she Just rich make Tons of Money with CZcams nothing in return for the Continent that s really wrong
@@bigcity2085 I did wonder the other motorcycle but then brushed it off!
Me too, I so much love traveling
I feel that Noraly is the World Ambassador of Motorcycle Adventure. She embodies the spirit of adventure like none other! She always has a positive outlook and a smile to share!
Hi Noraly, you're world famous by now. The 2 police guys who stopped you at the Nigerian border and asked for money were arrested and fired from their jobs. Please keep filming these types so that corruption can be brought to an end. Good job. And all the best and good luck for your trips around the globe in 2024. Liefs vanuit de provincie Utrecht
Yeah, i actually watched the clip where the two jokers were summarily fired for their greed. They gave Nigeria a bad look, in any case their 40 days arrived soon enough.
Any link of the video if there is any?

Cameroon just seems to be filled to the brim with the nicest people 🙌🏻
We're definitely a hospitable bunch.
Cameroonians are very hospitable. Love my country 🇨🇲
Thank you Cameroon 🇨🇲 People for helping Noraly
Thank you
That's why they call Cameroon, "Africa in miniature"😍❤️
Welcome to Cameroon Noraly😍
I pray to God to grant you health, happiness and a long life every year
Her achievements in and the content she creates deserve a world recognition, itchy boots family in Cameroon will triple by the time you leave.
You will never see a country like Cameroon where people are so helpful especially my anglophone people ! I hope this video will encourage people to come and visit Cameroon !! There’s some wonderful landscapes. That’s why we called us “Africa in miniature”
Truly beautiful. I'm happy with the nice treat she got from our people there.
@@hanifahmadin9385 I swear my brother !!
As a South African, i truly need to be in Cameroon...thank you for this .🙏🙏🙏
You will be highly welcomed brother
I spent three years in Buea, South West. I am a South African.
@@DoseofReality101oh wow really? What took you there? I'm a Cameroonian student at Wits in Johannesburg. Nice to see your comment
I have gained so much love for african people and it`s all because of you, it`s amazing to see them being so kind and happy to see you, thank you Noralyyyyyyy ♥
The waterfalls and the love and kindness of the locals is breathtaking.
Cameroon is spectacular! So are its people. It is my favorite place you have visited so far in Africa.
Thank you
You are welcom dear
I always know cameroon would be special thank you
I'm from the USA it's amazing how there are places outside the US like those waterfalls that are not commercialized tourist traps. You are not fighting for parking or paying ridiculous prices to get access to nature. I just traveled the entire USA. It's hard to find places like this today here. I'm jealous 😊
And then add a couple of cultures that take over all the places, at least over here in CT, Vermont. No respect whatsoever.
what do you mean
@@harrys919 I know what he means I'm not posting it. YT would have a fit.
Yes I guess the most popular tourist traps have all got nice freeways leading to them! 😁
Noraly, (the Dakar would be simple for you now!)- Go and show those boys how to do it! 🙏💕
What I love even more than viewing the scenery is how kind and friendly all the people are in all the countries that she has been through. It warms my heart. Happy, healthy and a safe 2024 to everyone who loves this channel and Noraly.
Cameroon is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered ✨️it's breathtakingly beautiful 😍
when i hear Cameroon, football or FIFA world cup comes to my mind...they are football heroes(imagine challenging the likes of champions like France, Germany and other european countries while come from a small and nondescript African nation)...Thank you for showing us Cameroon..it's a beautiful country and the people seem to be warm and kind too
Who told you Cameroon is small?😂 Cameroon is bigger than France and Germany or uk please ceck first before posting nonsense 😮
@@badaboys2098 okay my bad, i didn't check the total area...but Cameroon is certainly not bigger than France..hope you will get your facts right too before jumping to correct others...And it may large in size but Cameroon certainly doesn't have a global presence. like the european nations...that was actually what i wanted to point out...not the physical size but the global influence
Noraly shows most of us an Africa that we would never experience without her beautiful videos. I'm amazed by the beauty and the lovely people that she encounters. So good, really. Thank you and your Itchy Boots, Noraly!
This is Courage and Toughness if one is looking for definition of these words together. Riding through a beautiful terrian but treacherous one at times , Noraly is doing the incredible. And this ride was fuelled with Bananas for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner the previous day. What's most striking is that we don't get to see even a tiny bit of complaint on her face. All we see is Noraly's pleasant smile and humour. Itchy Boots Vlogs are lessons in our life. Salute you Noraly
Such admirable manners, - even the cows are greeted respectfully. 😊
I swear the best part of every video is the amazement on the faces of the locals our Noraly rolls up on. Always puts a smile on my face!😊
Every kilometre travelled enriches your life and everyone watching,the happiness in your voice at new discoveries is breathtaking.
Hi Noraly, I do not know how I got to one of your videos. But since then I am hooked. I call it an accidental treasure.😊
Wow, Cameroon 🇨🇲 looks so lush, green & beautiful. Beautiful natural landscape & waterfall. Thanks 🙏🏾 for showing this. Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰 ❤.
I often become emotional Noraly as I watch your journey.....you talk and you share with us....the unseen audience.....as if we were right beside you........what a wonderful human you are......truly amazing !!!!
I totally agree! She even talks to the cattle and thank them for moving!
I find myself talking to Noraly as she rides. It’s like we’re all with her as she rides. She is so incredibly intelligent, yet so kind to everyone she meets and shares with us. Her personality and energy is unsurpassed.
What an amazing day in beautiful Cameroon. Gorgeous waterfalls, lakes, and people. I love it how Noraly always speaks so politely to the animals. And, they always move 😀. Much respect for your riding alone through the bad road, and the other bad road, and the other bad road to show us the gorgeous lake. Great video, Noraly!
Bad road pretty much describes most of her journey this year. haha
Camerron is such a beautiful country and its people as well.
One of the prominent lessons from your amazing journeys is that most people worldwide are kind & helpful. If only the sensationalist news media would stop propagating a fear & dread vision of the world.
Happy New Year everyone! Safe travels in 2024, Noraly 🙂 Thanks for taking us along on your exciting journeys!
Happy new year...!
Dear Noraly
You are very brave and great woman
I love your journey very much.... dear friend God bless you always and forever this is my prayers 🙏 for you every moment
Wishing you very happy new year
You are always in my prayers God bless you always 🙏🙏🙏
Happy New Year and have a prosperous 2024!
I am a Nigerian and i salute your courage travelling across these very difficult terrains.
Well done.
bro serious she manage to banned one of owr soldies asking money in nigerian begging for money is a normal thing at least u from the other continent expecially eur and usa
@@Virtual_Sosso Police man in EU and USA don't ask money!
@@Virtual_Sosso Not her fault. Let all corrupt cops and other officials be exposed and shamed.
@@Nonno_R i know but I am from Africa us owr police don't ask for money but only when the see some on from the other continent like usa and EUR just white people ! I love this women and everything she does but the only thing that hurt me is the fact of exposing the soliders and them getting baned In Africa job is like a life if u kicked from ur job u going to sell pure water bro
@itchy boots I love everything u do but the only thing that Puch me to say all this is when I see the way my siblings that asking white girl for money like a joke but I Know the seriouse but that what hurt me I am sosso ur biggest fan ❤️
Beautiful landscapes and many wetlands in Cameroon 🇨🇲
The generosity and hospitality of some of the people that Noraly meets surely restores my hope in humanity. There is more that binds us together as a people. ONE LOVE❤
Thank you very much Noraly for taking us on these adventures and experiences. Countries we hear are potentially dangerous and you show us such friendly and lovely people! Thanks! ❤😊
Cameroon has amazing landscapes and such helpful people. I love this country :D
The rain is a hindrance, but without the rain, there would not be spectacular waterfalls like the 5' mark. Nature & geology are awesome.
I want to say it again that Noraly riding skills combined with Alaska capability and reliability is simply top notch!💪👍
Of all the talents you have shown us over the years, we now add "Cow Whisperer" to the list. You speak politely to them as you do with everything and everyone, and they obey. Another brilliant video as always.
This was a good one in so many ways, The waterfall, the nice people, the ride up to the top, the view, and the drone shots. Bravo.
Just the most beautiful people you run into. 👍
My wife and I are happy every Sunday when we switch from German television to CZcams to watch Itchy Boots. One of the best CZcams Chanel all over the world. Go ahead Noralie. Happy New Year❤🎉
I love the way you talk to all the animals you pass.
Me too! Look forward to that. Excuse me, Thank you haha. What a kind heart and spirit she has. Peace!
Once again you are finishing 2023 on a high. "You are courageous", the best description of Noraly. So lovely to see the whole family helping you out of the mud. Again and again you prove how the world is made of good people. Safe journey and a Happy New Year to you.
The policeman is correct, Noraly!! You are a courageous woman !!
From east Africa Ethiopia CAMEROON is amazing beautiful country i don't expect this much green
wow wow thank you noraly
Ethiopia is a beautiful country as well. I have been to Addis and will love to visit the countryside. Hello from Cameroon.
Another 5-star adventure ride . Never a dull moment riding with Noraly.
You are an amazing young woman Norally. Hard core drive to the lake and mountains,but you let nothing stop you. You looked free and exhilarated as you finished the hard stuff and drove up the grassy path to the lake. You take us with you also , where we would never get to. Thankyou for sharing your travels with us. You are wonder women.😊👏
Lovely video,, lovely people and what a beautiful place!! That agonizingly slippery stretch , was worthwhile, afterall!
That lake, what an amazing place!!
Wow an excellent way to finish 2023, Thank you Noraly. Cameroon looks beautiful with wonderful landscapes and friendly people.
Well said!
You are so very polite to those cows, good girl.
Thank you for showing the beauty of Cameroon to the world! Despite the challenging roads your trip is an amazing journey!
I hope these beautiful people get to preserve their beautiful land in the face of senseless urbanisation. thank you Noraly for the beautiful sights.
I've been glued to this channel since i found it here on YT. Thanks!
Wow!!!! Cameroon is so beautiful, you just activated the love in my heart for my country Thank you Norali
Cameroon is so beautiful 🙂
You have met some wonderful people gives one a warm feeling to show how kind the majority of people are and how they help without being asked.
And just like that , Noraly , our intrepid traveler , has entertained us for another year. And it was an amazing journey. Thank you Noraly. You never disappoint . Scare the hell out of us many times , but you persevere when others would give up and turn around. We love you , your content and courage. All the Best in 2024 !! Continue the journey.
Absolutely agree!!
Clearly, there is someone watching over Noraly. The timings of people being there to help her when she gets stuck is just amazing.
Well, it happened almost in front of their house, but okay 😁😜
Definitely, she is not that alone..there people probably monitoring her moves
Another African map recording- its scary. Bcs that's how they came before colonization
@@ItchyBootsthank you for making me laugh.
There are 8 billion people in the world, so i suppose you’re never alone 😅 But no, nobody is ‘monitoring’ me (that sounds creepy!). I have been traveling solo around the world for 5 years now.
Wow, what a spectacular episode!
This little side-trip was amazing.
The spectacular twin waterfalls, and that little jewel of a lake were only surpassed by the lovely people you met along the way.
Those sweet folks who helped you get unstuck on the way up were my favorite part.
Actually, pretty much ALL the people you’ve met on this trip have been totally charming and helpful.
Confirms my faith in humanity.
Rock On!
I don't know how you can travel to all these fantastic places alone, when I'm alone and see something amazing I'm always sorry that I don't have anyone to share it with. I know you share it with everyone watching but still it's not the same as having someone to share it with and talk to about it. Thanks once again for taking me along.
It's nice to see that you're getting props everywhere you go because you truly are a courageous woman! ❤from 🇨🇦
Indeed Africa is blessed. What a beautiful view!!!
Beutiful helpful people of Cameroon...Great day in the mud and rain.
On the Cattle social media, there is a discussion about how polite Noraly is.
Noraly is like a cat, she had many lives and there is always an angel watching over her.
A happy New Year and a safe travel. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I grew up close to those mountains. Spent my first five years there. Thank you for bringing back the good old days.❤
Amazing beautiful Cameroon😍🤩😍
Noraly There are not enough words of praise to adequately describe your videos so I will just say thank you so much for sharing them with us and stay safe and well in 2024
And that lady had the most beautiful smile in all the World. It completely lit up her face. Thanks Noraly for such fine adventures and beautiful places and people.
The world is populated with nice people as you have shown. Great video Noraly.
What lovely people the Cameroon’s are. Like you Noraly. Wonderful scenery and superb motorcycle handling from you. Thankyou.x
That policeman definitively is right regarding your courage. Outstanding stuff youre doing
Very pleased with these pictures, I'm getting homesick. My former place of work was B.C.H.S. Njinikejem. Best healthcare at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Mission Hospital, Njinikom, Cameroon with Dutch and German doctors (at that time). School and orphanage with kind children. I look forward to further reports from this region. In Cameroon you have the entire African continent in one country. For everyday problems and obstacles you say "Ashia". I wish you a safe journey in 2024.
That was African peoples downfall - so friendly and helpful! Great video!
Went on a hike to see the lakes in March 23... It was amazing no picture could ever do it justice... It's so beautiful... Well done
What a lady you are
You are so amazing one of the most courageous lady i had ever seen it took a huge courage to drive through Africa alone like that
By the way the perfect music to the perfect landscaping 🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸🇹🇳🇵🇸
Perfect video to end 2023. Challenging route, beautiful landscapes. friendly, helpful people and spectacular drone footage. As the gentleman in the truck said Noraly, you are a true professional--- in riding and in film making. Thanks for all the fantastic content in 2023 and all the best in 2024!
