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
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.
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!
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 .
Believe me Noraly, your videography efforts are very much appreciated. Thank you so much!!!
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.
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.
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

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!
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.
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!
Welcome to Botswana 🇧🇼
Savannah has new shoes and ItchyBoots has a new border crossing
Oh Em Gee 🏁🏍🏁
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! 😊
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!
"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 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.
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.
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 ……
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 😁😁
"Itchy Boots" worldly adventures ... each episode is more than I could hope for ... peace on earth, goodwill toward man ... more power to you Noraly!
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!!
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...
God bless on your journey Noraly! thank you for bringing the world closer to us!!
I second that 💯 %!!
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..
So sad to see you leaving our beautiful country 🇳🇦 but any ways its all great, more adventure and exploring.
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.
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
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 "Itchy Boots" and Savannah in Botswana... The Adventure Continues!
(Savannah in Botswana? How poetic!)
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
Loved the new music with the children singing! Wishing you continued safe travels, dear Ms Schoenmaker. John Oosterhuis in Iowa USA
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
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??
😢 Namibia in the rearview mirror 😢 "I'll be back!" 😉
Botswana, here we come! 😃👀👀
Happy Trails 🏍🏍
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.
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 🙄
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.
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 🌍
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.
Itchy - Namibia was spectacular! That country was a perfect fit for your skills!
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, 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!
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?
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.
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.
Thanks for all the work you put in the video’s, absolutely love it!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful travels love hearing your informative history with the changing song of your voice Magic how you transport us from the comfort of our homes to where ever you take us Thanks again Happy Trails Love
Yay! New episode's out! Always looking forward to every episode of your journey.
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.
Yes, we have to come back to Namibia, a lot of nostalgia for the desertic country where I would like to live.
Thanks again for all of us traveling vicariously with through through screens and keyboards. You do amazingly good work.
Good morning Noraly! Love watching your adventures and travels. I love the way narrate and show us the beautiful world and the wonderful people in it. Thank you for sharing us. Safe journeys and keep on with your adventures. May God bless you and keep you safe Noraly. Love the music to the videos.
Another amazing adventure in a new place! Thank You Noraly! 💙
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.
Great video. Once again you manage to draw us into your story and adventure
I love the music in this episode. Your sense of ease and comfort in every situation amazes me.
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!
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.
Noraly, your videos are superb, well done on all your editing. The borders seem so relaxed and easy to get through, into Namibia and also Botswana but the personel make it that way. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks Noraly for taking the time to find great music and fitting it just at the right place/time in your episodes. It is often very moving like the children song in this one.
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!
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.
A new adventure every episode!
Botswana!
Your ability to adapt to ever changing conditions and problem-solve is an inspiration.
The time and effort you put into off-bike editing and production, and getting your drone up in the air for those beautiful vistas is much appreciated! 🙏🏼
New tyres new country new experience life is good, great vlog thanks Steve
Is so sad to see you leave the land of the brave, Namibia…hope to see you back soon.
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.
Seeing the world, through your eyes and your drone, thank you so much, (and stay safe, and upright).
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.
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.
And yet another cool adventure awaits!!...........thanks for bringing us alll along!..........Have fun and I look forward to the ride along!
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!
Southern africa is so lovely
THE Drone shots are extremely beautiful and well recorded
Nice work on the conversation as well keeping the viewer always busy
Cool ride there Noraly and the drone footage as allways super cool. Enjoy yourself and ride safe
Wonderful video, Noraly. I am so excited for the upcoming Botswana adventures, sights, people and the beautiful welcoming children!
No Road is Too Long if You Have Good Company! Noraly we are with you 😘❤️
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 😃
Great post Noraly. I’m watching this in 2023. But still ok. Keep doing what you love doing. Safe journey to wherever you travel. 🙏🙏👏👏👍👍
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...
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
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.
Thank you for investing time for us. the pictures, the landscape remain in the beautiful memory !!!
Thank you for your time in Namibia, I learned a lot from your videos about my country. All the best in Botswana.
A little less 'stressful' this time, but never the less just as enjoyable.
Noraly, you should also play the theme music from "Star Trek"....."boldy going where no one has gone...." You are truly a trooper !!!
THANK YOU Noraly for the time you spend editing amazing videos and sharing with the whole World how awesome it is and what an awesome ambassador you are! 👍👍
Thank you Noraly for such lovely and very enjoyable videos and what a beautiful country Namibia is. Being a person born and bred in The Gambia, I can relate with a lot of nostalgia with the scenery. I read quite a lot about Botswana, another beautiful country and a great people too, and my feelings tell me that you will enjoy this lovely country a lot. Keep us posted as always.
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 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😁
Thank you Noraly for taking us on the most amazing trip through Namibia! We are so proud of our little country. It was such a treat seeing I through your eyes. Enjoy your travels through Botswana, it looks beautiful there! Namibia will be missing you until you return. Safe travels! Love from Luderitz, 🇳🇦
Beautifully n safetly you made it to Boswana .a new place begins
Noraly has me researching how to relocate to Namibia from America.
Jy mag maar weer terug kom na ons mooi land Jys n pragtige mens Jesus seen jou op jou pad🙏🇳🇦
A very big thank you for bring us the most beautiful pieces of the world, people and animals during you trips which some of us will never experience in their lifetime. Even if we only see the half of the time you spent in a country it is for us the best time and best experience. Twice a week we travel with you and get the best time of our life’s and forget our all the downtime we had earlier that week. For this a very big thank you and we will all sit one the back of your bike and enjoy the view and trip. Please keep on making these very beautiful stories for everybody around the world. You make us all happy with every new story every time you post it.
thank you for keeping your travels real . No staging of what you do and what happens . Be Safe
