      Thank you for taking the time to make these videos they are always so interesting. Don't ever worry about your photography skills, So far they've been really impressive. Norley, I've noticed in your videos, There's no obese people. Is very interesting. It has to be their healthy diet, And walking all over the place I imagine. Until next time please be safe stay healthy. Thank you.

    "You really can't have it all." -Itchy Boots No matter what you do, people will always wish for more. You're just fine without being a best ever wildlife photographer. Personally, I like post-break, new schedule Itchy Boots a lot. I have a feeling Noraly is always asking, wat nu? so, the channel is always evolving. I think very good things are coming that I wouldn't even know what to wish for. Itchy Boots is the best character around and changing the world in a positive way. Thank you, Noraly. May you stay forever young (Joan Baez version).

      @@markmark2080 Yes, I was listening when Forever Young came out in 1973 and it has always been special to me. Being a father made it more special but, finding Itchy Boots made it even more special than that, like it was written for Noraly.

      ​@@markmark2080 A friend worked at a grocery store Joan shopped at. Not only was she down to earth, she actually bordered on the "silly" sometimes. Her friends all call her by "Joanie " instead of her more proper name. A little known fact was that she used to suffer from anxiety when she was out in public. Never effected her when she was performing thankfully.

    Hi Noraly, as always, this wonderful episode ended almost without me realizing it, as if I only had time for a few full breaths. From the very beginning of the episode, it was impossible not to notice how everywhere people came out friendly to guide you and say goodbye to you, and you answered them smiling at everyone without exception. Noraly, if it wasn't so obvious from your voice, we would hardly have been able to imagine the joy and emotion that you can feel in those wonderful places that have become sanctuaries for chimpanzees, untouched and unaltered by technology and all that it overwhelms us all in the rhythm of modern life. Thank you Noraly for this new and beautiful journey in which you took us. We look forward to seeing you again, be safe Noraly!

    Nice regards from Moussa. I went there by chance with my campervan. In the evening we were sitting outside talking. He told me that once a girl on a motorbike came and he was impressed that she drove all the way alone. I asked if her name was Noraly. "Yes, Noraly. She was so strong. This was her room but the other night she slept in the village. Amazing woman. So strong."
    I got goosebumps and was proud that my Wossi shared the same parking as Alaska 😁

    I discovered your channel when I was recovering from a motorcycle accident, and your videos did more than entertain. They helped me heal!
    I tell you this because you stated in this current video that people told you that you should carry a big camera. These people do not know what they are talking about!
    Your videos are great, and so is your filmmaking. The size of your audience is a testament to that!

    Oh wow, that was so much fun. You did a great job at capturing and narrating your adventure visint the monkey island and we got to see them as well as the hippos. That cheeky monkey was determined to do away with your mirrors😅 The people are so amiable and friendly. Thank you for another day of riding and wildlife in Gambia.
    GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍

    Again an amazing video. And a rather long ride, wow. You show me the world. A colleage of mine, Gerard Jörg, was " in love" with the people of The Gambia and he donated Solar Cookers. They were also easy to make by a local metal worker, exept the mirror itself wich is hi- tech. It saves the women the time of looking for wood and prevents desertification. It was combined with a hay box. Gerard gave a Solar Cooker to a widow so she could do business with it.

    Hey, You don't have to apologize to anyone about the camera work on your videos. You do amazing videos and editing and riding. You do the very best you can with what you have and what you can carry. Just love your channel and can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming.

      100% Agree. If that person giving unsolicited advice already knew that her footage would be better with better equipment, then that person probably already has seen better footage somewhere else, so that person doesn't need to see it again from a motorcycle rider whose goal is to show us motorcycle travels anyway. Love her so much. I stayed up all night binge watching dozens of her footage and did not once think that I needed to see it through a wide-angle lens. Her footage is perfect. THANK YOU NORALY!

    That little monkey with the mirror fettish must have a little stash of shiney odds and ends somewhere nearby. I enjoyed watching this video especially when you encountered the Hippo’s. Beautiful scenery, good people, and an adventure worth sharing. Thank you for doing this Noraly… be safe👍😊

    That monkey must be the reincarnation of the wicked queen from Snow White.. Fascination with mirrors.' Mirror, mirror on Noraly's motorbike, who is the fairest on this land?"
    With regards to the big camera, I agree with you Noraly. Its not practical to burden yourself with unnecessary load. If we want to see vivid wildlife photos or video, we can head on to National Geographic. But I know that your ItchyBoots worldwide family are here for that genuine, unscripted adventure, learning other country's culture, tradition, people, and nature through first hand interactions and experiences of yours. We love what you do Noraly and I personally thank the day I found your channel. Good luck to the next trips ahead...

    It is good to see how the chimps were re-introduced ......the wildlife of our planet is under constant threat from human incursion so it is a relief that this preservation is ongoing. Thanks Noraly !!

    Seriously I don't think some people realise that Noraly is travelling alone. The times when she points excitedly to a small dot in the distance, all adds to the charm. Bless your travels Noraly. Great work

    Thank you for the episode, Noraly. Great video, as always. It felt smooth and was relaxing to see the river ride, the trees and the chimpanzees that somehow the smile on my face felt great seeing your smile @11:51. Like everyone in the world, we can't wait for your next video but we know the time it takes to make them. Keep enjoying as much as we enjoy you.

    Marvelous! We in America sometimes think we invented wildlife conservation. It is always amazing to see that we are mere amateurs and that other countries are involved to such an extent. BTW, your videography is superb. One person on a small motorcycle, it's incredible!
