  • In this video, I cross the border into Ghana. My original plan was to ride to the north of Ivory Coast first, so I could still explore a little of the country. However, violence is spreading from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and the north of Ivory Coast is therefore not safe any longer either. So I figured it was better to cross the border into Ghana, and visit a small stilt village on a lake, called Nzulezo.

    You are an amazing person. I'm Nigerian, and watching I kept praying your tour of Africa goes well and no attack to you and/possessions. You are very brave indeed. I don't think I could do what you've done even as an African. There's true humanity about you. The fear of evil takes away our opportunity to explore and enjoy life experiences, and that's what you continue to prove. This episode blew me away, especially when you went to the village, and then you carried that little girl with so much love and sense of care. I think this planet will be the most amazing place for all if humans have your kind of mindset. Keep it up and all the very best. Subscribed and following👍🏽.

      That is the way the world use to be before the 18th and 19th centuries Europeans brought racism into the World after they started dominating the world. Prejudice has always been around, fear of what you do not know, however after familiarity occurs, humans become one. No race is superior to another.

      My thoughts exactly, Africans are the nicest people you would ever encounter in your life time and they are very respectful and welcoming to strangers/visitors. We that live in the west have a very bad misconception of that continent. Yes there are atrocities going on in some parts due to government corruption but as we all have seen from her videos, she’s avoiding those parts and even the locals are warning her where not to go.

      Yes but the dangers are still too great to do this kind of stuff she has to be prepared and by prepared I mean prepared to defend herself, she looks well prepared for travel but I don’t see any preparation for battle only the internet and that am afraid will not save her you don’t go into a gun fight with knives or even worse pepper spray a motorcycle and a camera that’s just being too naïve to be brave is good but to wise is even greater.
      I lived in those areas for many years you come out looking too fancy plus you look different you already a prey it’s just a matter of when and with no friends within these grounds you just like a cricket meaning she will not last seriously

      It will take a month of Sundays but now go back and watch the other seasons. when I saw her going through Iran by herself I was in disbelief, but once again everyone she encountered was friendly and helpful. She is very intelligent, far more than many can imagine.

      @@jasonzerbini2375 am definitely going to have a look at other episodes, when I see her I don’t think it’s intelligence that’s getting her through I think it’s more like courage, which is fine by me but even being courageous has it’s limits it’s better to wise than courageous and wisdom acted upon will land you far safely in the end than any courage…. So looks vulnerable, intelligent maybe that’s one way to look at it am not saying she’s not, but I have seen these stuff happening before when that times run out something happens and it’s over like a flash, all her viewers will all pour their sympathy and move on the next day…
      I have lived in Africa for a long long time, it’s not luck that get you by , it’s a mixture of all Aka wisdom, same goes for all the dangerous places on earth.
      To me when I look at her she looks very vulnerable, very we throw all praises on how smart she and all that’s all good but time has it’s on way of throwing it’s verdict.
      I know it looks like she’s bringing the world with her because she’s filming but that’s just a misconception one I bet she rely as a side comfort , but it takes two seconds to take that comfort back to reality, the minute that camera is kicked off the world is gone, seen it before many times.
      She’s courageous no doubt but as I said earlier wisdom is far better, want to go to war? Don’t go without your weapons because you suddenly feel courageous, courage never lasts it comes and goes, but if you can carry your Armor in any battle you will be ready for a fight…

      Seeing that lake and the fresh water drinking/sanitary situation reminded me about the Bilharzia, and really nasty worm derived disease, in fact another Ozzie round the world rider picked it up from a lake in east Africa. Takes a long time to get cured. Our maids job first thing in the morning in Dar es Salaam and Entebbe was to boil up some of the tap water and then let it slowly pass through a stone filter, then placed in the fridge so we always had some clean drinking water, my mother was fairly paranoid about this, constantly reminding me and my sister not to drink any other water outside.

    I was in Ghana for 3 months. And I could tell u it’s people are very nice generally. Yes it can be dangerous like anywhere else in the world if ur not careful, but I had a good time there. Made a lot of friends. Botswana was equally good

    Since yesterday I discovered your canal. I'm originally from South Africa but living in Germany and came many times for holidays back to SA and Nam. I love footage from the other countries as well. I'm enjoying your ride and I definitely want to come to Ghana andbIvory Coast someday

    It is amazing to watch Noraly as she meets these people in their village. They adopt her into their family even if only for one night.

      ON our bike.... might be on her way, but she has ruined Alaska's engine! It is not long for this world. She might have to bury Alaska in Africa and ride out of Africa with Africa! lol
