- In this episode I am crossing the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe. I stay the night at Victoria Falls and go and check out these amazing waterfalls. They are a lot more impressive than I expected, and I came a little closer to a family of warthog than I would have liked...

Tears are flowing, I have not been back to my homeland for 23 years, probably will never again. I was born there and lived there for the first 39 years of my life. I absolutely love your videos Noraly .
My Zimbabwean folks please let's gather here and beat some drums 🥁 for Noraly.
We have been waiting, the wait is over, she is here at home now.....
We are here, can't wait to see the adventures.
Last night my heart sank when she said next to Zambia. I thought she was bypassing us. I'm glad she has come
Enoy your Zim stay Noraly
I am so happy she came to Zimbabwe and knew Vic Falls was going to blow her away.
@@tindo9833 kkkk I felt the same way I tell you I was like cumon.
I am from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and I would like to say I fully endorse this video. This is a true reflection of the amazing experience that awaits you when you visit Zimbabwe. Well done Itchy Boots!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why do Zimbabweans always feel compelled to prop up a country with a dead economy & dilapidated infrastructure, agreed it's beautiful but so is any other place on earth. But hey maybe you are a Zanu Pf official doing his job
@@BinAlleywe are proudly Zimbabwean nothing Zanu PF about that. The Victoria Falls belong to all Zimbabweans not a political party so there is nothing wrong with someone celebrating and bragging about their own homeland.
@@BinAlley So are Zimbabweans supposed to just hate their country? You sound like an idiot
Hey i am from germany how can i come and live in zimbabwe forever? I dont have money i dont know what to do i want to live there so bad!
@@BinAlleywhat are u on about. Let pple hype their country in peace
After 25 years living in Zambia, I still think that Zimbabwe has the best view of the falls. You will love it here, the people are the best, and the bush is so pure, enjoy it while you can.
Like Zim's president says... VF is a beautiful woman... Zambia sees her from the back and Zim from the front...
I am not mysogynistic
I'm Zimbabwean and saw the falls from the Zambian side on my 4th visit and it felt like I was seeing them for the first time. Both sides are amazing in their unique respective ways... and yet it's the same waterfall!!
Zimbabwe has the view.But the falls are in Zambia.
I strongly feel both countries should share the proceeds
Noraly, I was born in Zimbabwe & love this country so much. Thank you for reminding me of how beautiful Vic Falls is. Enjoy your travels through Africa. It is the best continent to visit & enjoy the natural beauty. Safe travels on your motorbike. Kind regards, Andre
Welcome to Zimbabwe....my home land....Bulawayo is well worth a visit as well, with the beautiful Matopos.
Unjani bro same homie
Matopos is a real deal

Warthogs will not attack unprovoked. They are not aggressive. They are, however, dangerous if cornered (or if in rut). Just never corner one. It is the lower tusks that do the damage. They are razor sharp. If they are nearby, back up slowly and give them an out. You will not out run one nearby. They can reach 55 kph (35 mph) in short bursts.
I didn't know this, so they are fast
Usainbolt 😂 they can run faster than the speed of light
Scottish explorer David Livingstone may have named the falls after his reigning queen in 1855, but the Kalolo-Lozi people had their own name for it - Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders.”
Dr Livingstone, I presume ?
@@dbcooper7326 That came much later. :-D
@@johankotze42 Have you watched 'King Leopold's Ghost' on Amazon Prime ? Shocking what was done to the people of Africa.
@@dbcooper7326 I have not, but, yes. Starting right in the 17th century with the Portuguese onward. That is from a Eurocentric point of view.
He would have been proud to say, that he was a British Explorer.
Thank you for showing us around Southern Africa and going into Zimbabwe was the icing on the cake. Mosi-oa -Tunya the mighty Victoria Falls has made miss home more.
I still have a t-shirt somwhere that has Mosi-oa-tunya 'The smoke that thunders' on it.. Visited Zimbabwe in 1994..
Vic Falls, Hwange national park, Bulawayo, Masvingo, Harare...
Wow, the falls are huge both in height and width. So far, Zimbabwe looks like a good nation to visit.
3 mission trips to Zim, a wonderfull place to visit. So many things to see, walking with lions at Antelope Park is well worth the trip.
I grew up in Hwange near the national park and spent my child hood at the Victoria falls. You have given me tears of joys ..thank you!
I went to school at marist brother's in Dete.
The falls and the wildlife: astonishing.
It was 51 years ago that I visited Victoria Falls. I was a child and went there with my mother and father at the age of 7. Amazing to see them again especially now that I live in New Zealand. Thanks for sharing.
And it was called Rhodesia back then!
@@MrMaziar58 Absolutely that's true.
@@MrMaziar58 I was there in 1976; I drove from the UK to SA in VW Kombi, and saw the falls..the area was not so built up, and you just wandered to the falls, no paths etc...was a wonderful time. Well done Noraly, respect.
in 1976 we visited family in Rhodesia, and when at the falls i carved my name on a tree, i wonder if it still there, we then traveled for 24 hours on a ferry down the Kariba dam, those where epic times. so glad to see this again.
@@MrMaziar58 And before that Mwene Mutapa.
Just loved to see Victoria Falls again, I lived in Rodesia - Zimbabwe from 1975 to 1985, now living Azores islands and you are making me itchy to visit, love Africa.
Thanks for the video. I am a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 but never visited Victoria falls yet. Now I saw how it looks like.
You are such a brave lady, some of us man can not do such things.
Thank you so much 👏 may the lord bless you and your future.
I also lived Zim many years without visiting the falls. Seems like most citizens don't bother to see the tourist attractions in their own countries.
Are you not afraid of animals? Noraly: “I’m not afraid.
Warthogs: ‘ Say what???
Thank you for showing us the Vic Falls! They are huge and so, so beautiful 🤩
It's a couple of years ago since I stayed in VicFalls for the last time. These warthogs were used to be feeded by visitors. I gave a piece of bread and they were happy
Noraly looked scared when she came across the warthogs alright but that's okay.
You see how she backed away from the warthog? That's respect, not fear?.......
@@zaedlo Any sane person would back up for wild animals.
At Vic Falls walked up by surprise on an elephant, outside of the gates you are in the bush ! Watch your back in zim .
"The smoke that thunders" never fails to impress. During a full moon one can witness what they call a moonbow. I think that anyone who is not awed by the majesty of this natural wonder is probably tired of life. Another wonderful adventure. Thank you
I want to see that.
We have a beautiful moonbow at Cumberland Falls,Ky on clear nights every month.
There is at least one waterfall in the US that has a moonbow.
@@Dave-sw2dm Yep, as @Allen said, Cumberland Falls in Williamsburg, KY, "The Niagara of the South". Nice views, nice trails, happy to have it basically in my back yard, "Feels Like Home".
Victoria Falls is so much larger then I imagined and beautiful. All the wild life you have seen is amazing. Difficult to realize the amount people have paid to for a guide to see what you have seen. I know you spend lots of time in research for your travels. For that everyone thanks you.
My heart still lives in my home country. Thanks for showing it to me once again!
I am not afraid, I am never in a hurry, I am always patient, I am always friendly and I am always positive and luckily negative for the test, the ingredients for successful traveling.Looking forward to see zimbabwe..trough your eyes!
I do not know what can I say for you!!!!!!!!
Noraly is the Best.....through 🌍
If you think South Africa was beautiful, brace yourself for Zim. Spectacular country. Fantastic people. Stay on a housboat on Lake Kariba. Hwange is fantastic. Nyanga to the east is breathtaking. The stone carvings, the art, the pottery. Find some flame lilies. I could go on and on.
Thank you so much for a wonderful African series. It is a cyber treasure.
Hows that better than ZA BTW?
@@francoiswilliams it is his opinion. Zim has its good spots too... and there are less of a preserve for certain classes of people (land is state owned, so any leased land for game reserves and parks cannot be subject to any form of segregation) and are more accessible to everyone.
Firstly, I did not intend to imply one was better than the other. I was born in SA and absolutly love the county. I have been lucky enough to travel to Zim quite often and think its also spectacular. I feel Its shear beauty has for too long been overshadowed by the negative press of the past. I have also been very lucky to meet some wonderful Zimbabweans, so my opinion is based on my personal experience and I am excited to watch IB's upcomming vids :-)
@@mmorlan1481 yep... i felt the same about your comment. People dont get that Zimbabwe is a good country touristically speaking...
Thank u.
OH WOW! What a heart thumper day! I never imagined the Falls were that huge. Your welcoming committee of animals was really exhilarating. I’m once again amazed and thankful to have been able to see this day with you. You ROCK! as always! Thanks for taking us along, Noraly! 🏍🇺🇸
They truely are amazing, and this is dry season that Jeans the falls now only have one third of the water capacity
"You ROCK!" Best compliments you can give to a geologist like Noraly.
My Dear Noraly, I have to say that you are the embodiment of every adventurer that has traveled this planet. But with your spirit, you continue to find something new and inspiring. You are one of the most inspiring young women that I have had the absolute joy in watching. Please for those that are not able to, Continue the journey. Always remember to keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.
The lack of signage at our public spaces always irks me. Even us locals struggle to know what to do or where to go at places such as border posts. And the officers arent bothered😅
Good luck on the rest of your trip, thanks for visiting my beautiful Botswana🇧🇼💙
One of the most exiting entry of a new country,get to see the falls with a free shower and wardhog family encounter,real tv at it,s best..
Wonderful journey Noraly. Your spirit and energy have made this video journey such a treat for us as we travel along with you.
My mom lived in Zimbabwe for several years, what a beautiful country. Victoria Falls was an awesome experience. Enjoy your adventure!
Never realized how large the Vic falls are. Amazing. I love how everyone asks if you are afraid.
Our intrepid explorer has done it again. "No, I'm not afraid!" And those warthogs? "I did not see that coming!"
"...Noraly, I'm not afraid." Truer words were never spoken! You are an intrepid soul indeed. :)
Plus her eyes at the moment. Something else too
Thanks for sharing this ❤
Zimbabwe is truly heaven on earth!
Like seriously????? Heaven on earth 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Warthog to the other Warthog: "That's Noraly. Stop staring. Everyone in Africa knows her"
I am really jealous. To have Vic Falls to yourself with the river running low. Last time I was there with the river in full flow, couldn't see anything for the spray. Enjoy the country of my birth.
Im from there too..i miss it
@@helmet_hair_biker Me too. My brother and I went back after 50 years away and we recognised our schools in Harare, the house our father built there and of course the falls. A great trip.
@@alexbrown1995 the last time i was in Hwange and Vic Falls was 1990. There is no life like a life in africa!
YIPEEEE! You're taking me home to Zimbabwe.
Loveliest people in the world there. (The dearest warthog and mongoose families too! And please go out at night looking out for Bush Babies ..... )
Those waterfalls you saw are far more beautiful than anything ive seen in the US. I officially want to go to zimbabwe
That means you have never visited Niagara Falls I feel sorry for you
Probably one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world!!! Mother Nature at Her Best!!! :-)
God has given us a beautiful world to live in! Thank you for taking us along on your exploration of it.
Interesting ides... only one small error... There is no god.
@No sugar No cream ?
@@brunosmith6925 How do you know that?
@@RichardASK God told me
Policeman: are you not afraid of animals?
Noraly: no I'm not.
Warthog family: say that again...🤣🤣🤣
LOL, but then again, not afraid, just cautious. And that is a good thing!
Naaaah just social distanciation
@@iwk315 Lol caution is good. They were probably more startled by her to be fair.
@@tatendamudzviti371 True, they looked a bit starteld (sorry, I thought I made a nice addition to your comment, but I more or less just repeated it)
😂🤣😅
The Netherlands was my home for three and a half years, mixed feelings about it but Dutch people took such good care of me, always cheering for you guys!!! I'd looove to take my Dutch friends around some time.... Super cheering for you! Thank you for visiting my country!!!!
My home town.
Proud to be Zimbabwean 🇿🇼
❤❤❤❤ love you 🇿🇼
Wow I am so glad you crossed into my country Zimbabwe Noraly. For a while I feared you would avoid Zimbabwe. I discovered your channel by accident when you bought your bike in Joburg and have followed you since
Welcome to Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Had the same feeling,I'm glad she is in Zimbabwe and tell the world a better Zim ,hi
Welcome to Vic Falls.
" The Smoke that thunders".
Amazing. The falls go on and on. And then the wildlife. Wow! Thank you so much for taking us along!
Good bye Botswana , Welcome Zimbabwe !! We have known about Zimbabwe for a long time, because of cricket . The climate and environment here are similar to the climate in my country.. I'm Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ..
Amazing Waterfall , gorgeous ..😍
Vic Falls, one of my favourite places, been there so many times and never fails to be awe-inspiring.
I used to drive 4 times a year from South Africa to Serengeti Park in Tanzania to go to work and then back home again in my Landy.
When I reached Vic Falls on every drive down I always felt like I was "home again".
Can't wait to move back home to South Africa and leave Europe far behind me!!!
Wow! Incredible. We wanted to do a road trip from Nairobi to Cape Town but abandoned the plan when some of my friends deemed it too long and risky. But I hope I get the courage to do it
Dear lady shivers down my spine gods own country i spent the 10 best years of my life in that beautiful country regards Andrè
Woow Victoria Falls is beautiful thank you for showing us one of biggest water fall in the world 😍
Omg 😱 what stunning and beautiful country 🇿🇼 😍 👍🏼
Whoever knew one day I would watch the amazing lady in my home country. Greetings and love from the capital Harare. Fingers crossed, one day I will bump into you 😊😊😊👏
I'm very excited to see your travels in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. Great views of the falls.
Oh wow! I named my daughter after those falls. 50 years ago when i was just 9 years old i saw a film about them at our local cinema and fell in love with them, ive always wanted to go to Zimbabwe and see them. When i retire i will go. Thank you so much for the wonderful footage, means so much. X
Yes its never too late. But don't leave it till late. I visited Victoria falls 13 years ago. Beautiful place l have ever been to
Thank you Nana, i will go and visit, i must.
Kind regards.
Big news in the kingdom of warthogs, Pumbaa announces he saw the legendary Itchy Boots today and he was just awestruck. 😍
I had not realized how huge and majestic the Vic Falls were. Seems to dwarf the Niagara Falls. Another awesome episode. Thanks for showing us so much beauty in Africa. Safe riding.
Dear Noraly. Nice news that you have now (again) crossed a border. Zimbabwe will definitely be an exciting experience! Thank you for a wonderful video of the Victoria Falls, 2 beautiful attractions (He He) It's a pampering of us to follow. Looking forward to your further trips, and sending - as always; The best regards from Denmark.🇩🇰
Perhaps my most favorite video. Welcome to Zimbabwe! 👏❤️😁💥 I got total chills when I heard the Victoria Falls, and then to see them is beyond magnificent! And those rainbows & warthogs. I'm so happy for you, Noraly. 🌈🎶 Keep shining your LIGHT & LOVE. You rock!
Vic falls are part of the Rift Valley, a fault line that runs all the way up the right coast line of Africa. It produced Kilimanjaro and I think ends around where Madagascar is today - which itself and along with Australia and Antartica broke away from. The Rift is a very sacred part of the world in that it produced the first humans and gave rise to some of the most unique species across the planet.
Interesting theory.
@Bounce Forward bad day?
@@Dave-sw2dm it's not a theory, jethro
@@mt_gox :)
Really . school me
Spectacular waterfalls..
You are almost done with Southern Africa this is impressive but😭😭😭 you just woke up next to our resort here. I hope you enjoy your stay in my neighbourhood. That place is amazing. People are so shocked how you manage to travel alone in a motorbike. You are brave my dear
There's Mozambique left. ;)
@@Perkelenaattori that is why i said almost it means there is some left
@No sugar No cream but my dear is hard to travel in the continent as an African i don't if you know that. Is easy for mzungu than us but we will get there one day
@No sugar No cream You are acting as if there's no tribal and religious divisions in Africa, and often times very severe and xenophobic ones. What you said is insulting to the many who have been killed, kidnapped and humiliated by others on the continent. You wrote that like you're a Pan-African nationalist from AMERICA, who knows nothing about the intricate and complicated history of Africa. I think you are much more intelligent than that, though. So just think, understand, that it's not so easy for Africans IN Africa.
@@Perkelenaattori South might be okay. North is very dangerous right now (al-Shabab offshoot wreaking havoc).
“I’m not afraid!”… only Noraly! Thanks for showing us an amazing waterfall. Must be no other like it anywhere in the world. Wart hogs? What’s next, you’ve seen about every type of wildlife on the African continent! Be safe out there!
I’ve seen the Victoria Falls ( Mosi-oa-Tunya: which translates to “ the smoke that thunders”. ) several time in my lifetime. I was lucky enough to be brought up in Zambia & Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and had the pleasure of seeing this magnificent natural wonder of the world. 😍😍😍
It was great to see you visiting Victoria falls 🇿🇼 ❤️from Sri Lanka
Wow Noraly ? Zimbabwe is shaping up to be a very interesting place. Stunning views of Victoria Falls. Looking forward to following your Zimbabwe adventure. Stay safe. Cheers, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦😃
So much joy from showing this video to my kids and the photos of me in the same spots at the falls, 12 years ago. Much seems to have changed and for the better.
These new adventures for you Noraly bring back memories of my childhood in Rhodesia seeing these places for the first time in 50 years thanks for wonderful videos of your trip thru one of the world's most beautiful country's.
God bless you and stay safe.
Thank you for this episode, amazing country--ZIMBABWE.
Welcome to Zimbabwe Noraly! Hope you enjoy your stay! ♥️
Thank you sooooo much for this video! You made my day, and much respect how you stayed so calm with those warthogs. Great memories for me having visited Kariba Dam on the far East of Victoria Falls.
Loved the rainbow and waterfalls
"I'm not afraid." with that look on your face! He had no idea who he was talking to. I love your adventures! Thank you for sharing. :)
I'm glad you have gone into Zimbabwe one of the most beautiful of countries.
Thank you for the compliment
Watching this again. Beautiful. Thanks for showing Zimbabwe.
What a beautiful way to start in a new country. Hope this is an indication of what (i believe) beautiful country Zimbabwe must be. I can understand why you fell in love with this beautiful continent.
The smile on her face at the falls ❤️
Glad you had some water! When my late wife and I went a few years ago it was almost dry.
Victoria Falls is absolutely beautiful
Great stuff. I love Africa! I have made a dozen trips to UGANDA, the Pearl of Africa, and have grown to love all of the Continent. So much diversity and the people are so welcoming and amazing--even for us Muzungus. Been around many warthogs in Uganda, they are definitely not afraid of people and hang around a lot of the hotels. Safe travels.
Greenest country in Africa 👌
As a tourist it makes you want to return, but when you decide to live there and do the daily battles, your ideas of the continent might just start to alter!!!
@@chrisg1234fly
Depends on the country of Africa you're talking about... Some are poor, some are middle income and others actually have a quite good standard of living...
@@guleiro Standard of living is one thing, yes, I can go and buy a Ferrari tomorrow, but the fact that the paperwork takes 6 months to get done to own it cos it keeps getting 'Lost'!!! is the day to day issues that travellers do not see when they whizz through somewhere.
@@chrisg1234fly
I get what you're saying. I'm from Angola and your description reminds me how things used to be in the 80s and 90s.
Today things are much different. I bought a new car two years ago and the registration process took 2 days.
I get your point but it really depends on the country. Some countries are still stuck in the old ways but others are quite good.
Maybe if you mention the name some specific countries it will be easier to understand.
Love it! Neither words nor images can truly describe the force of nature that are the Victoria Falls - a destination not to be missed. Please be sure to have tea at the Vic Falls hotel, visit the Boma for dinner, hang out for a beer at Zambezi house, and for sure, not to be missed, a river cruise for sundowners on the Zambezi! Have fun - this country (my country) is truly amazing! Wish I could have been riding along on this one...
My brother and I had dinner and drinks at the Vic Falls Hotel - a memorable night, with wart hogs strolling across the huge expanses of lawn....
Wow, what a day.. Another new country and you even had your own tiny rainbow to welcome you to the falls, then a family of warthogs pops by to say hello. As always, the unexpected is just waiting for your arrival, and always that smile to greet it. I love this channel so much.
Itchy Boots is becoming a weekly tradition, As always the best way to end a week and enjoy a 20 minute morning cup of coffee at a nice slow pace to start the day. As a rule i've always been a solo rider, but riding with Noraly is the best possible exception to any rule that i could imagine.Thank you for the weekly peek into your wondeful world on two wheels. Godspeed to you, Craig from Death Valley California
Thanks Noraly for taking us to this wonderful adventure wishing you a safe journey ahead
Good to see the country I grew up in , there were always warthogs around even way back in the sixties when we used to go there.
You did it again!! 😯 Another spectacular adventure!! 😁🏍🌍
🌺 Sending Aloha from Kauai🌴
Vic Falls. So staggering!!...
I visited Victoria Falls twice 1995 and 1997. Great scenery Good people. My Recommendation very nice trip. 🌍🌍🌍🕊🕊🕊🕊🇸🇰
Mosi-oa -Tunya...... "The Smoke that Thunders" Stunning view, and no crowds... Another tick in the "World of Wonders" you have seen... :-))) xxxx
Thank you Noraly, you're the best.
Noraly's smile is even bigger than the Falls!
Thank you. Through your eyes I have seen something I never thought to see. Not sure why in all the years of watching RUclips I never saw your channel until 2 weeks ago. Glad I found it. You are an amazing young woman.
Yay, Zimbabwe my birth place. I have been to the Vic. Falls many times but still found it exhilarating seeing it with you again Noraly. Go and see the tribal dancing and music at the Vic. Falls hotel if they still do it and a sundowner cruise up the Zambezi is nice too. Also the white water rafting below the falls if you are feeling adventurous. Take care as always and enjoy this wonderful country.
Loved to hear, "I am not afraid". God bless you.👍👍👍😊😊😊
Highly appreciate your bravery!
thank you for the amazing place you taking us to
My dream to visit Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Why don't you
God's own country. Go.
Please let me know when you want to go will give you $500USD towards your trip....
That is a dream waiting to become reality - GO.
Be sure to get to Hwange.
A professor of mine lived in Zimbabwe, he did a National Geographic special with Levar Burton on the Zambezi river.
Nature at it's Best‼️❤️
Good view of Victoria falls, thanks Noraly
breathtaking view of the falls! what an adventure
"Only" an hour to cross the border. Thank God (and good leaders) for the Schengen agreement!
The Vic falls are truly magnificent!
You are the brave lady to travel across several countries. Thumbs up. This give us energy to follow your steps.
This lady is a beautiful person. Beautiful heart. Beautiful human being.
I didn't know the falls were that wide: wow! Cheers from California.
