Noraly’s unbridled joy is infectious. She has the perfect attitude for this type of adventurous living. She’s so friendly and disarming that people react to her positively. I’m in awe.
Way more dangerous than you realize. You can tell by the concern seen on the other motorcyclist's face when they were around the lions. Read any of the writings about Africa from Robert Ruark, or especially Peter Capstick and you will really understand how risky that was. I'm not sure Noraly was aware of that. I'm so glad it turned out well!!!!
Thank you kindly to the wonderful owners & employee of Etosha Heights Reserve for allowing our beloved Noraly to experience & film your beautiful Safari! 🙏🏼❤️
My great respects to the gentleman on bike who is in that job. Very noble job. There are many more. Thanks to this efforts. Never seen before. Great heartful respects to him. Lots of respects from Me.
Thank you for taking us along on this excellent adventure! Kudos especially to all the brave and dedicated people who work to preserve wildlife and keep peace with the neighbours.
I can tell you the REAL experience is 10x better, heart pounding, adrenaline rushing, just impossible to imagine the real feeling, an experience never to be forgotten 😁
Noraly, Savannah & Esso against 3 lions. Esso a very brave man who patrols the reserve everyday to protect the animals in the reserve despite the ever present danger from these apex predators. Brilliant video. Thank you.
I have no words left to say after watching this and reading though the comments. Everything has already been said. I will only add: Enjoy to the fullest, you carry these awesome experiences with you all your life! Groeten uit Nederland 💛
I just loved it when you and the guide spoke Afrikaans and Dutch. As a Afrikaans raised man I love the Dutch language. You just show us so much of our own country that we haven't seen.
Wouldn't say humbling. Would say sad. It's shame these animals are kept in enclosures that are vastly smaller than their normal territories because of humans. And why is it good she's riding there on a motorcycle? If the lions charged at her they would be shot. What humans have done to Africa is shocking.
@@owny0607 " humbling " to be in the wild with the wild animals ,The animals are free to wonder to the etosha national park and even to etosha pan ,we have tracked animals migrating all the way to okavango delta ,I rather no see them killed by farmers , porches and safari sports hunters
What an experience, priceless opportunity, and at the end on the day heading towards a magnificent sunset. Again, thank you Noraly making these special side adventures and sharing with us.
Noraly's done some absolutely amazing episodes in her time, but this has to be up there with the best she's ever done. This is high level documentary footage, but it's from such a unique perspective, a lot more raw and real than your average Nat Geo doc. It is almost unheard of for somebody to be allowed to ride a bike like this through a live game reserve and film the footage. What it shows you is so close to what our early ancestors must've saw and experienced as they walked through the wildnerness amongst these great beasts of our age. No game drive goes through real bushveld like the stuff she rode through in this episode! Just amazing! 😊🔥 EDIT: Also huge thanks to these two wonderful gentlemen for affording Noraly, and by extension all of us this experience. What absolute champs the both of them are. I hope they good things come there way in life..
Thank You so much. Places normally reserved for David Attenborough or The National Geographic. How wonderful. Please please thank your hosts for allowing you to bring this to us!!!
The scene of the elephants and the setting sun at 20:00 onwards is simply amazing. The sunsets, sights, sounds and smell of the African bush/deserts stays with one forever. Wife and I will be undertaking our 3rd road trip (SUV) to Namibia next month thanks to you for igniting the Namibian flame in us again.
Good afternoon Noraly, from Cape Town...and Namibia still my favorite holiday destination......and thank you Noraly for showing the world this beautiful country!
Fantastic episode! So exciting to see elephants and lions so close up! I viewed some parts of this video frame by frame! The mix of Afrikaans, Dutch, and English is actually quite easy to follow. Words like leeuspoor/leeuwspoor is immediately understood (well, at least for me who has Swedish as first language, English as second language, and German as third language).
YIKES!!! What an incredible, unforgettable experience that had to be. Excellent riding on all the rocky track, so close behind Esso. Looked very hard to do when you can’t go at your own pace. Once again, the animal whisperer has gotten the ultimate experience! Good job Noraly🙌🏻💪🏻👍🏻 Thanks for taking us up close and personal with such beautiful nature🏍🇺🇸
So many thanks to the folks at the Etosha reserve for letting Noraly share this ride with the world. And thank you Noraly for your camera work and commentary during this intense experience. I can say this now after those long minutes of holding my breath while Simba and his brothers stared you down.
How did 23 mins suddenly feel so short!!!? Now Friday will seem like eternity while waiting for the next episode... Amazing work as always Noraly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I understand what you were feeling today. When I competed in South Africa, I stayed on the grounds of the safari. All of us had seen elephants before, but not like we saw them there. When we saw the herd come out of the jungle to the waterhole, we were like a bunch of little kids seeing elephants for the first time. I don’t think you can understand those feelings without experiencing it. So I love all of your journeys and I’m really happy that you got to experience that feeling of joy.
What a privilege to ride the game preserve and share with us all. I look forward to when you travel the wilds of Western and Northern Canada and interact with our native animals such as bison, moose, elk, black and grizzly bears. Kind regards.
Right, if you can see them. I can't count the number of times I've been out in the bush and seen nothing. That being said I live in a suburb of Vancouver where you can get black bear, deer, coyotes, raccoons, cougar and very occasionally elk walking through your front yard.
Thanks to the kindness of the Etosha Heights Reserve we did not only get to see this beautiful video, but due to people like them we might stand a tiny chance that the gorgeuous creatures we could see wont destint. Support this kind of work wherever you can!
Noraly is truly a nature lover. She helped save entangled seals at Walvis Bay. Many a time, I heard her calling wild and domestic animals very softly and with love.❤
Bravo Noraly, what an adventure. A special thanks to Etosha Heights Private Reserve for being stewards of the wild life so they may exist along side of domesticated animals.
Very funny this mixture of Dutch and English. Being Belgian, I understand a large part of the dialogues in Afrikaans despite my basic Dutch and English. Nice episode!
Being close to lions in an open top Landrover if pretty scary already, never mind on a motorbike. Villagers crossing nature reserves on bicycle have been attacked in the past. Glad you had some back-up following you. The most dangerous lions are usually lionesses, hiding right behind you, while you gaze at the males of the pride! ;)
The top TH-cam channel. I always have to watch, every episode... and it's always great. You are intrepid and brave, and inspiring. I always feel better when I hear your voice.
I love it when you speak “Dutch-Afrikaans”! Someone once said that Afrikaans is redundant and useless, but I find it is not hard to communicate with people from the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Flemish, and Belgium. 💕
Interesting to hear Noraly's Dutch sounding increasingly Afrikaans and her English sounding more Southern African (despite American grammar like "laying" instead of "lying".) Love the adventures -- dank je wel, Noraly -- you're almost a local!
Wow N, what a privilege to be riding with you on this amazing adventure, especially this Episode and the last one. I could feel the proximity of the animals as you describe the scene. What an exciting Episode. Can't thank you enough for brining us here. What a nice person Esso is. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
Being originally from Holland and living in the US for all of my adult life I can actually understand much of that conversation in Dutch...remarkable because I have met people from Holland over the years and I can hardly understand a word. Thanks...that was an epic experience to ride along with you. BTW...love your channel.
The elephants in the evening mist, and that sunset. Wow! I'm sure Esso and the crew will really enjoy seeing their great job from your perspective. Now they can show their family and friends what they do. 🙂
I’m a South African now living in Canada and seeing this just gives me goosebumps. I just love the bush-veld so thank you for sharing your experience, it was awesome. Also loved your interaction in Afrikaans :)
Another wonderful presentation. A bit of a hellish ride on the rocky terrain. The lion that was eyeballing you so intently was just wondering if this was a part of the "Meals on wheels" program.
You are a lucky girl Noraly, guess Namibia must rate as one of your top trips, so many interesting things to see & experience Keep posting your GREAT vids 👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you Noraly! You inspired me to get moto licence. Now I'm sitting on first theoretical class to get "A" category. Practical classes starts in couple of weeks. You opened whole moto travel world to me, I never thought buying a bike before your series with Basanti. I wish you all best on your journey! 😄
Hi Noraly, i really believe you, and i can hear how much you appreciate your time, when we were in the army, we also do buffalo patrols every day in Namutoni wild reserve, amazing feeling to be every day in the wilderness,, that time we were 18,19,20 yrs old. A part of my live that i will never forget,, so big thumbs up for you,, Enjoy your stay 👍👍👍👍
Noraly, thank you for sharing this amazing experience. I wish more people would come to Africa and explore our beauty here. It really replenishes the soul.
Another more awesome day!! I am trying to imagine how cool and a bit scary it would be out there on a motorcycle. Thank you for this experience Noraly!
Hi Noraly, I also have a Himalayan and I've always wanted to do touring, which I will start soon. You inspire and motivate me so much everyday. Always keep growing, you have all our love and support. More power to you. ❤️
@@khairulnizam2717 Initially, I was planning to do it for personal use and memories, I will upload couple of my vlogs and if people like it then I will definitely continue to bring more. 😊
It's amazing the amount of energy and money that is being put into the conservation of wildlife in Africa. And they willingly show you around and tell you about their hard work. In the meantime you get to see some amazing wildlife from very naerby. Beautiful to be shown around, thanks Noraly! You must feel really privileged as well! And feel shivers after meeting the lion brothers up close! And to top it all off twenty elephants! We could see afterwards you were still impressed by it all!
When we were in Africa I was amazed how well the lions color keeps them camouflaged from view even when you are really close . If we didn’t have a guide we would have missed seeing at least half the animals.
Good afternoon from Eswatini. But my spirit is right there in Etosha with you. Since you refuse to be afraid of elephants, I will gladly do it for you. Each time I watch your videos I am afraid. You are such a fearless and positive person. Much blessings to you and Savanna. Salut!
Aye, the "kaffa" still speaking the dutchy too, made me chuckle.( although i should'nt.) Realise he's speaking it for the interpreter, but does he speak it in every day use ?
Recently discovered your channel. I love every one of your videos. So fascinating. You're a brave woman traveling alone . Glad you came to Namibia!! I'm sure you had a blast. I'm a Namibian🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is the trip to Africa the journey that touched you the most? Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Greetings from Sweden.
This video is just another of the amazing experiences you have taken us on. I'm such a fan of yours. Thanks again for allowing us to share your experiences.
A magnificently timeless land, Esso and all who work there have my utmost respect admiration, what an experience..Noraly vulnerable yes, with the guidance and experiences of Esso and the others who work there your vulnerability is somewhat reduced. The heard of elephants the enormous size an experience of several lifetimes. Enthralled the big cats wow🇦🇺
Brings back memories of the time I spent in the Etosha game reserve. OmG… it was 45 years ago and it also that feeling has stayed with me fantastic, not on a bike, I hitchhiked with my girlfriend from Capetown. Still can’t believe I did that. Thanks Norali for bringing it all back.
I can't imagine that any experience could ever surpass being in the presence of lions in the open as you are. And magnificent elephants too. Not sure if anything could be more beautiful or breath taking.
So many memories it brings back, must be an awesome experience doing this on a motorcycle…. Wow, enjoy Africa while you are there, such an amazing place
Seeing lions in the zoo behind bars or water is one, seeing them from a closed vehicle is two but seeing them from a motorbike must be a close encounter of the third kind! Amazing video, Thank you!
Wow what an experience, that trip must of been AWSOME.. full respect to ALL involved with the upkeep and protection of animals there…. there is no place on earth for trophy hunters and poachers etc.well done noraly 🇬🇧👍
The Gallagher electric fence systems from Hamilton, New Zealand. Thanks for the up close but calm and controlled review of Lions and Elephants peacefully in their environment!
WOW! Although I should say, as a far away bystander, the whole "yeah I can see him now... I don't know where the other two are" was a moment... Please pass on the thanks of us all to your hosts for making these rides possible.
I can't believe how vulnerable you were with those lions! Not even looking behind you to see if anything was about to attack! I was scared for you guys. lol.
Well, wow. What can I say!! How special for you to be able to ride with Esso and experience the open ride on Savanna!! What a blessing!! Thanks for sharing. Jim
Your thrilling videos keep topping the previous ones and we appreciate your humility, your enthusiastic spirit and courage. Esso’s dedication is remarkable, definitely not a usual 9-5 job!! Given the same opportunity I am not sure I would head out among lions on a 200 or 250cc, minimum 650. You are just awesome Noraly!! Thank you
Dit 19:55 is toch wel een highlight, voor mij zeker. Wat een geweldige beesten, olifanten. Ooit hebben ze diepe indruk op me gemaakt, in dagelijks terugkerend verzorgings ritme. Onvergetelijk. Sindsdien, als ik ergens waar dan ook olifanten zie, krijg ik de kriebels, kippenvel. Positive way natuurlijk haha. Machtig, dat jij dit zo live mee maakt. En TOP dat we hier van mee kunnen/mogen genieten. Thnx Noraly.
I've been watching your channel for a year or so, always entertaining and some beautiful drone footage capturing your adventures. What I don't understand is the dislikes, it's always the same number (roughly) of thumbs down. Why on earth would people dislike your documentaries, especially this one. An amazing experience and my heart was in my mouth just watching so what it must have been like for you I can't imagine. Keep up the great work Noraly.

I’ve been sharing these adventures with my grand daughter to show her women can have no limits or fear in life. Just fantastic!
if the woman is smart ......if not ....feminism will eat them all
Yes, please ladies, go out and explore! (I train my daughter to do this every day)
I have a 7 year old daughter and I do the same she loves watching with me we have to encourage in any way 🙏🏽🙏🏽
brilliant this is the kind of influences we all need i wish i had similar influences as a kid
My 9 year old daughter just upgraded from a mini bike to her first dirt bike. We will be hitting the trails this spring and summer.

She is very brave person..
It's "sense" of humour, my good fellow. DO keep up !
I certainly agree with everything you said, I’m fairly new to watching her videos. This series 5 has been great.
Never seen such fearless woman ! How come one travel alone in the desert specially as a woman !
I like how she tries to make something hard becomes small
Who is the bravest girl in the world?
Noraly is!
What an adventure! Thank you Noraly and Esso.
Noraly’s unbridled joy is infectious. She has the perfect attitude for this type of adventurous living. She’s so friendly and disarming that people react to her positively. I’m in awe.
22:07 "You feel quite vulnerable" My goodness, that must be the understatement of the Century!
Yes, yes yes yes.
Way more dangerous than you realize. You can tell by the concern seen on the other motorcyclist's face when they were around the lions. Read any of the writings about Africa from Robert Ruark, or especially Peter Capstick and you will really understand how risky that was. I'm not sure Noraly was aware of that. I'm so glad it turned out well!!!!
@@CMBASH not really, these are used to people. its different when they are not in a park.
Thank you kindly to the wonderful owners & employee of Etosha Heights Reserve for allowing our beloved Noraly to experience & film your beautiful Safari! 🙏🏼❤️
My great respects to the gentleman on bike who is in that job. Very noble job. There are many more. Thanks to this efforts. Never seen before. Great heartful respects to him.
Lots of respects from Me.
Thank you for taking us along on this excellent adventure! Kudos especially to all the brave and dedicated people who work to preserve wildlife and keep peace with the neighbours.
Your sense of awe and wonder and being able to convey it to us half way around the world is why I eagerly await each new episode!
Very well stated Calvin. I couldn't agree more.
I can tell you the REAL experience is 10x better, heart pounding, adrenaline rushing, just impossible to imagine the real feeling, an experience never to be forgotten 😁
@@vrugtmanable no doubt.
Right?!? She's (you're - if Noraly reads this one) a natural in front of the camera, no need to act. Very easy to watch enjoyably.
Noraly, Savannah & Esso against 3 lions. Esso a very brave man who patrols the reserve everyday to protect the animals in the reserve despite the ever present danger from these apex predators. Brilliant video. Thank you.
Noraly, Savannah, Esso & Yamaha.
I love your afrikaans/dutch, Its very easy to follow what youre saying.

Good afternoon from Eswatini. But my spirit is right there in Etosha with you. Since you refuse to be afraid of elephants, I will gladly do it for you. Each time I watch your videos I am afraid. You are such a fearless and positive person. Much blessings to you and Savanna. Salut!
Wow just incredible,so beautiful and humbling to be able to ride there
the episodes in this park are something really special, lucky girl. your video's keep getting more spectacular.
Thank you for your video's.
Leuk om dat Afrikaans te horen. Fijn dat je op die manier toch kunt communiceren. En wat geweldig dat je dit mee mag maken!
It's so cool to hear Noraly speak Dutch/Afrikaans. She speaks English so well I forget it's not her first language.
Aye, the "kaffa" still speaking the dutchy too, made me chuckle.( although i should'nt.) Realise he's speaking it for the interpreter, but does he speak it in every day use ?
People im Namibia and South Africa, they speak Afrikaans a lot , not all of them though
@blackbob3358, what's the "Kaffa"?
What is the Kaffa? @@blackbob3358
Dont use that word please. That African brother of mine is someone with much character and deserves respect
Actually so awesome to see a video being this close to those animals in their natural place. Great stuff!
Recently discovered your channel. I love every one of your videos. So fascinating. You're a brave woman traveling alone . Glad you came to Namibia!! I'm sure you had a blast. I'm a Namibian🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Hard to find words that is not used1000 times, thank you again and again. amazing work Noraly.
Sincerely Noraly, thank you so much for sharing this exciting and fantastic experience with us. You are an amazing lady.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is the trip to Africa the journey that touched you the most? Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Greetings from Sweden.
This video is just another of the amazing experiences you have taken us on. I'm such a fan of yours. Thanks again for allowing us to share your experiences.
A magnificently timeless land, Esso and all who work there have my utmost respect admiration, what an experience..Noraly vulnerable yes, with the guidance and experiences of Esso and the others who work there your vulnerability is somewhat reduced. The heard of elephants the enormous size an experience of several lifetimes. Enthralled the big cats wow🇦🇺
Brings back memories of the time I spent in the Etosha game reserve. OmG… it was 45 years ago and it also that feeling has stayed with me fantastic, not on a bike, I hitchhiked with my girlfriend from Capetown. Still can’t believe I did that.
Thanks Norali for bringing it all back.
I can't imagine that any experience could ever surpass being in the presence of lions in the open as you are. And magnificent elephants too. Not sure if anything could be more beautiful or breath taking.
So many memories it brings back, must be an awesome experience doing this on a motorcycle…. Wow, enjoy Africa while you are there, such an amazing place
I'm back... I missed you.... I was very bussy, but now, I will continue with your amazing live .... thanks for share...
Seeing lions in the zoo behind bars or water is one, seeing them from a closed vehicle is two but seeing them from a motorbike must be a close encounter of the third kind! Amazing video, Thank you!
.absolutely brilliant account of the place, nature and emotions
The fact that Afrikaans and Dutch are mutually intelligible to a considerable degree seems to have become quite useful to Noraly.
Yeah, how often as a world traveler can you say, "But fortunately, I knew Dutch!"
I concur, heard everything they said.
Wow what an experience, that trip must of been AWSOME.. full respect to ALL involved with the upkeep and protection of animals there…. there is no place on earth for trophy hunters and poachers etc.well done noraly 🇬🇧👍
What an experience you are sharing with us! Absolutely compulsory viewing! Roll on Friday's episode!
The Gallagher electric fence systems from Hamilton, New Zealand. Thanks for the up close but calm and controlled review of Lions and Elephants peacefully in their environment!
WOW!
Although I should say, as a far away bystander, the whole "yeah I can see him now... I don't know where the other two are" was a moment...
Please pass on the thanks of us all to your hosts for making these rides possible.
Amazing to see the animals and you respecting their distance. Essonne has a great job 👏
I can't believe how vulnerable you were with those lions! Not even looking behind you to see if anything was about to attack! I was scared for you guys. lol.
Well, wow. What can I say!! How special for you to be able to ride with Esso and experience the open ride on Savanna!! What a blessing!! Thanks for sharing.
Jim
Amazing. I think it's the first time I've seen you show any fear at all. But an amazing adventure for you as always
Your thrilling videos keep topping the previous ones and we appreciate your humility, your enthusiastic spirit and courage. Esso’s dedication is remarkable, definitely not a usual 9-5 job!!
Given the same opportunity I am not sure I would head out among lions on a 200 or 250cc, minimum 650. You are just awesome Noraly!! Thank you
Where else would you ever here, "have to keep an eye on the lions in my mirrors!" Only from Noraly!! Beyond Awesome!! Can't wait until the next one!!
Dit 19:55 is toch wel een highlight, voor mij zeker. Wat een geweldige beesten, olifanten. Ooit hebben ze diepe indruk op me gemaakt, in dagelijks terugkerend verzorgings ritme. Onvergetelijk. Sindsdien, als ik ergens waar dan ook olifanten zie, krijg ik de kriebels, kippenvel. Positive way natuurlijk haha. Machtig, dat jij dit zo live mee maakt. En TOP dat we hier van mee kunnen/mogen genieten. Thnx Noraly.
Wow!
You have experienced wildlife the proper way. Up close and personal.
You will remember this for ever!!!
Nice video. Keep em coming!
You have a experience on motorcycle in national park Noraly very very nice video beautiful ride 👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙂
Its good to note how well camouflaged the lions are. The thrill of being so close must be awesome.
Tigers likewise vanish into their environment.
This is one of my all time top 10 favorite Itchy Boots Episodes ever. I have been with you from the very first.
An amazing adventure through the African wilds! Thank you for bringing us along with you Noraly. Ride safe!
A definite big thumbs up , you are quite an adventurer Noraly, your living my dreams. Respect Admiration Noraly. 👍🇦🇺
Most wonderful video Noraly. Nobody would have done like before.
I've been watching your channel for a year or so, always entertaining and some beautiful drone footage capturing your adventures. What I don't understand is the dislikes, it's always the same number (roughly) of thumbs down. Why on earth would people dislike your documentaries, especially this one. An amazing experience and my heart was in my mouth just watching so what it must have been like for you I can't imagine. Keep up the great work Noraly.
