In this episode, I am going deep into the Central African Republic forests to find a wild gorilla family. It's a dangerous forest, because there are many forest elephant here and you don't want to encounter those while on foot! Luckily I am in the company of some of the best Ba'aka trekkers. They know this forest extremely well and are some of the friendliest people I have ever met. I also go and search for Hassan, who lives around here, as he is the only mechanic in town. The majority of the people here are Ba'aka, and even with my short length, I still tower over most people here. Hassan turns out not to be Ba'aka, but a very skilled mechanic nonetheless!

Some really quick side notes and observations: 1. C.A.R. has a reputation to be a dangerous country to be avoided. And turns out to be one of the most magical places so far. 2. Those mechanics in Africa are skillful. With so little they delivered. Very ingenious minds. 3. The local tribes are so friendly. Almost with a aura of innocence, already lost in modern civilization. Beautiful souls. 4. The encounter with the Forest Gorillas was a very sentimental one for me. Beautiful gentle giants. 5. It was funny to see all the villagers surrounding Alaska in that Mechanic Hut. You can't blame them right? 6. A lesson that I've learned in life and with Itchy Boots. We all gonna die one day. All we can take with us is the lifetime experiences we experienced. All your expensive material things is gonna stay here and your millions of dollars. So live a adventurous life, travel as much as you can and enjoy the beautiful places. Fell Free to add yours. God bless you all.❤

Hello Noraly, I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for you filming your adventures. I am an old man but in my younger days, before I married, I had motorbikes and wanted to travel the world. However I never had the courage, but through your eyes I can see what I missed out on. Thank you for what you are doing it gives me great pleasure to see the world.

Hi David, I stopped riding in 1971 when work and a busy life took over but always remained interested until my son got the biking bug unexpectedly just five years ago. I’ve been riding again since then, (just modestly) and have never been happier in my retirement with new friends. -I hope similar things have gone your way to. Best regards from Berkshire in the U.K. 🇬🇧

Hi David. you are obviously an older rider now retired. I'm 85 and tend to relive my 1950/60s motorcycle days watching Noraly on her travels. I found her halfway through season one and have been an avid fan since. Like you I never had the courage to adventure on my bikes and then my new wife in 1962 wanted a sidecar and so a Steib sports sidecar was fitted which ended any ambition of foreign travels but never mind we explored the whole of the UK until our son was born in 1967 who is now an avid Harley rider.

I spent a lot of time in villages and exploring the forests. I too was taken in by strangers when traveling through remote areas. I once had to walk 40km when the vehicle I was traveling in caught fire. I met so many beautiful people. It was a life-changing experience. C.A.R. gets so much negative press. I just love that you have highlighted how beautiful this country is and how lovely and hospitable the people are. Thank you. ❤

From the wild elephants in their natural habitat to the magnificent silverbacks peacefully foraging the forest - this show is beyond doubt the best there could be. It comes straight from the deepest of a nature reserve showcased by an adventurer par excellence. It makes one ponders if one had started following a ridding related vlog as Itchy Boots has so many varied aspects to it. Nature , Geography, Geology and most importantly the study of various cultures are all rolled into one. Wonderful vlogs by Noraly … keep it up !

You and your adventures are simply amazing, and we in the motorcycling community are watching everyone of them. Anyways, peace to you this day, enjoy life to the fullest, and be safe in all that you do.

Auch dieses Video hat mich wieder in höchstem Maße begeistert. "Richtig Noraly", du bist im Paradies. Mitten im Dschungel befinde ich mich. Das in diesem Naturschutzgebiet auch Menschen in ihrem angestammten Gebiet leben, finde ich ausgezeichnet. Den Serengeti Park in Ost Afrika mussten die Massai, aus für mich nicht nachvollziehbaren Gründen, verlassen. Nun fahren durch diesen Nationalpark aber täglich viele Touristen in Jeeps um sich Leoparden, Geparden und Giraffen anzugucken. Das finde ich beschissen, genau so, wie Wilderei. Deine Aufnahmen von den Gorillas sind großartig. Diese Art Filmerei musst du unbedingt beibehalten. Viel Glück weiterhin. Bis Sonntag.
