    You leaving us in South Africa is suddenly feeling like losing a member of the family. You have crawled into our hearts with your upbeat personalty that makes the world shine everywhere you touch. Thanks for visiting Southern Africa and show the world what a lovely country we have. God bless on your new adventure.

    My wife and I have just finished watching every single episode in Series 1 to 5. It has taken us a couple of months but we enjoyed them all. When the last episode finished and Savannah disappeared on the back of the low loader I had to hold back a tear or two. Thank you for showing us such wonderful images of all the places we never managed to visit during our long lives. Dave (74 years old) and Cathy (age withheld!). Driftwood Motorhome

    You once said in a live chat that motorcycles have a soul. In reality, their soul comes form those of us who ride them. I believe we become one with them as we trust them to keep us safe during the times we spend on them. God Bless you Noraly!!

      @MM SVB Don't be fooled ! people in all country's all have the same problem with the very bad and dangerous people .
      I also watched all of Noraly's video's then seen a few times with people that danger was there but Noraly did the right thing not to engage in any chat with those people who said a few words to her .
      I believe in one video Noraly clearly knew of the bad people looking at her because she left her helmet on leaving without chatting with the blackmen then she went strait to the bank then back to Savannah and left .
      I am a traveler and a owner of a tourism services offering tours in Eastern Europe.
      After a time you look at people sizing them up if you want to make contact with them or ignore them even don't say a word to these people .
      I am sure Noraly is well schooled on who to watch and when to talk and when not to talk to someone.
      I am sure also Noraly has done her work on where she is going to see what dangers might be there.

Started with season 6 and then there was no stopping, and „no stopping” is something you know very well.

    What a fantastic surprise it was to see Savannah in The Motorcycle Room recently. Parked there, pride of place in the front, dust, melted indicator, the whole caboodle, including your map on the wall. I was sworn to secrecy and I kept my word. Just standing next to it was a special moment. Oddly enough, she looked bigger in life than the videos. All the more admiration for your massive tour through breathtaking scenery. I'll treasure the selfie next to the now iconic motorcycle. Best wishes for your next journey.

    Noraly, thank you so much for allowing us to come on this journey with you. We have watched all of Season 5 in just 4 days and have enjoyed it more than we can begin to say. We lived in Africa for 6 years (RSA and Botswana) and have been back many times on holiday to both those countries plus Namibia. We recognise many of the places but you have also introduced us to many more. We are flying to SA in two weeks time and then in May will be spending 7 weeks in Namibia and Botswana, you have made us even more eager to be back under those big skies. Take care and happy safe travels.

    Incredible performance during the rally. I was confident, based on watching your previous seasons, that you could do this, but was always worried about something random happening and booting you out. So glad luck was on your side. The end, with all the other riders taking parts of your motorcycle on their bikes so you could finish, was lovely - for me, it's what a rally should be about. Really looking forward to Season 6, wherever it is.
