A small person (from the drones perspective) on an outcrop of boulders and rocks, bringing us the world, that most all of us, will never ever see in person. Thank you, as always

The Great Zimbabwe Ruins is the best Heritage Site I have ever visited in my lifetime. It was way back in 1969 and I remember it vividly. One must bear in mind that all those stone walls were built without any mortar in-between them. They were simply laid one on top of the other. There is much more to the site, and it's a pity Noraly did not take us into the section on the lower plain where "the dome" is situated. There was much debate as to what it was used for but nonetheless, it is something quite extraordinary to see. Thanks Noraly for refreshing my memories of that special place. It is one which nobody can ever forget should one be fortunate enough to visit it!

Hi there I am from Zim and thank you for visiting my home town Masvingo and the great Zimbabwe ruins. As young adults we used to climb the ruins every New Years eve and watch the sun rise. It was a glorious experience and brings back fond memories. It was a great place to grow up.

I'm heading to Great Zimbabwe from Victoria Falls in 48 hours! Excited to see your video.

On the top of the mountain is where the King used to live whilst his first wife lived below the mountain where the most beautiful site of the monuments are found, that is where the conical tower is found. The Great Zimbabwe Monument are the best in the whole wide world. No mortar holds the stones together... Thank you for showcasing my beautiful country, Zimbabwe A World of Wonders❤️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼😁

I had no idea Zimbabwe is that beautiful...wow

The only problem I have with your episodes is coming back to reality afterwards and having to wait for my next fix. I've seen all your videos and am truly amazed with the quality of each one of them. Thanks for taking me away on your travels, I would never have seen any of the places that you have visited otherwise. Stay safe 💖

The drone coverage at the ruins was great...as were the ruins.

I often find myself wondering what is Noraly's greatest gift: Her obvious intelligence? Her curiosity? Her sense of adventure? Her personality that is always well received by those she encounters in her journeys? Her physical stamina? Or her technical artistry in combining music to drone video? Questions without answers but, it is why +850K of us keep coming back for more.

Zimbabwe is also known in Shona as Dzimba Dzamabwe meaning "House of Stones".. Masvingo in itself means "Walledfort" The lake is called Lake Mutirikwi formerly known as Lake Kyle established in 1960

What a fantastic episode Noraly. As someone that grew up in that country I have loved your travels through Zimbabwe. Still the most beautiful country in the world in my opinion. One thing that stands out is how unspoilt the tourist attractions in Zimbabwe are. Places like Victoria falls and Great Zimbabwe are not ruined by concrete, fences and the suchlike.

As a Namibian, I have always plan to visit the Vic Falls, but now my plan has been changed by you Norlay, I now planning on visiting as many places as I can, Woow, Zimbabwe is beautiful.

The drone filming the site, and then all of a sudden, we see the tiny, tiny Itchy Boots, revealing the scale of the place. A WOW moment, if ever.

Those ruins are absolutely ahmazing 🤩 Was not expecting that in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 I feel like I’m in an online geographic class and Noraly is my favorite Professor 👩‍🏫‼️

Daniel Boone, an American frontiersman, once said “I was never lost, but I was once bewildered for three days.”

This is 1 women that has it together..She never complains about anything..And has a AMAZING. Personality.

Great Zimbabwe! I would really love to visit this country. Never thought it would be this beautiful. The only place I have been to is Victoria falls!

You've done it again, Noraly. You've taken us to yet another of the world's hidden treasures. Thanks so much for the effort you have to put into this.

It's as though you are walking in my footsteps Noraly. Having lived in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from the mid 60's to mid 70's I have visited these same ruins a couple of times. Thank you for bringing back memories of my past.

Great Zimbabwe is one of a group of related Iron Age towns in that region. There's also Kami, Leopard Kopje and Mapungubwe. They illustrate how large and complex the civilisations were, but also how they were impacted by environmental and climatic change. Evidence of trading with Arabs and Europeans has also been found, but significantly they resisted the influence of the slave trade. After crossing into SA at Beitbridge, to the west along the Limpopo there is Mapungubwe National Park, with another set of impressive ruins (although it is SANParks and has unfenced camps with large numbers of ellies, so motorcycles probably not allowed).

Another wonderful adventure! Thoroughly enjoying learning about and seeing through your eyes so many places I never even knew existed.

Lived in Zimbabwe then Rhodesia in 70's but did not visit this historic place. Your filling in the gaps for me 👍.

I was born in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) in 1961. I was 5 months old when we moved back to South Africa. I would love to go and tour Zim as you did. Thanks for the inspiration!

It's great to see that you got to the great Zimbabwe ruins..... fantastic...it's very strange as I covered many miles in Africa and in 95/96.... You have gone down some of the same road's...happy memories...for me...it's good to see things look more relaxed in zim...I think I need to get back there...ride safe keep having fun....

Love this! 😍 I actually feel like I'm right behind you Noraly... Amazing gift you have pulling us in as if we're there with you! Who else agrees?

Ganz tolle Aufnahmen. Die Art und Weise wie die jeweiligen Länder und ihre Bewohner präsentiert werden Unterscheiden sich wohlwollend von anderen Reiseberichten.

This is so incredible, my country still stands with all her heritage and beauty! thank you for sharing this with the world

Constantly amazed by what you are presenting to us Noraly. What a cool place. Thanks as always for the smiles you bring to my home.

I am loving watching this adventure in Africa. What an amazing place!

Wow! You are amazing. I’m Zimbabwean and feel so proud of my country right now. Thank you so much for your hard work. Awesome stuff.

Damn, you made me homesick from the 8min as the landscape was swept by your drone shot…and here I am in the northern hemisphere looking at skyscrapers as the tallest prison walls n not a star in the nite sky. Yup, back to Africa it is for me …your videos have ripped my soul back into the bosom of the motherland. Thank you for the Birdseye views n solitary engine journeys you encountering - beautiful!

Great episode Noraly. The Great Zimbabwe Ruins are among the most important the Southern African region. The sophistication of build and style is not found anywhere else and so old that there remains little to no knowledge of the actual civilization that once built and inhabited it.

The best flying video footage and music choice. What a maze and only narrow paths to defend. Cannot wait to see what the rush is to your destination in South Africa. More surprises to come. Always safe travels Noraly.

Ik vind het knap van je, hoe je met ‘teleurstellingen’ omgaat, zoals een afgesloten track om bij het meer te komen! Respect hoor!

My hometown, Great Zimbabwe Monument , brings all the memories! Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you for going to my home town 🙏🏽😭.... Masvingo means " The Walls"...... The Lake is called Lake Mutirikwi or Lake Kyle....its such a beautiful place.... The Country was actually called Zimbabwe which means the "House of Stones" after the Great Stone Ruins.... Please Keep up the good work 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽... May God Bless you for showing people the Beauty of Africa 🌍

The ruins were Fabulous. The best I have ever seen Period. The way the rocks were stacked was incredible. Thank you for this Noraly! 🙌👏👏👏🤙🤘🤞✌👌🖖✋😊

Thank you Noraly for taking me through my country. I once worked at that Great Zimbabwe Hotel. I grew up in Vic Falls and you took me there. Honde Valley is my rural home, you went there again. Now Great Zimbabwe 😃. That place was strategic for the kingdom at the time. The king could see from afar if they were being attacked. You can see the land around that place is flat and people could be seen approaching. The narrow ways up the hill would prevent armies getting up to the King. That was the last line of defence. Great drone shots

I am a Zimbabwean and in Zim...I have never travelled all these places Noraly...You are the best ....you tool me to SA and other countries around...God bless you

Great Zimbabwe indeed. A world heritage site worthy visiting. intriguing stonework dry bonded with expertise.

She says, "OK, test all done" as she rides in front of an OK Zimbabwe Supermarket. Her videos are magical. Only thing better would be a 360° camera...

What a beautiful country you're showing us! I regret that I didn't visit that country when I was living so close by. I must visit it some day. Those ruins are something else too. 1000 years old and in such good condition. I need to know more about these ruins.

I visited the Great Zimbabwe ruins way back in 1974 whilst on holiday up there from South Africa. Beautiful country. Thank you Noraly for bringing back some wonderful memories.

As a Zimbo living in the UK - I am now SERIOUSLY homesick!

Brings back so many memories. Hard to believe you're leaving Zimbabwe without visiting Kariba. That dam looks as if the road across it hasn't been maintained since I was there, 35 years ago.

Zimbabwe is so interesting! Those ruins could have been a formidable defense against attackers, with the intricate and narrow passages. Great aerial shots showing how close it was to Lake Idunno. Thanks, Noraly :)

Wow Noraly! I have tears in my eyes with the feeling of appreciation I have for you! I am in so much gratitude of the magnificence of what you do, where you go, what you show us and how you show us! These are tears of such joy! Thank you so much!💞🦋🌈✨

The one way Kyle Dam whose architecture is similar to that of the Kariba Dam.. Its beautiful how it just sits between mountains, and the view of lake Mutirikwi (former lake Kyle). Awesome... Then the Zimbabwe ruins, l surely felt the need to visit again.

"Itchy Boots" ... feet that live to wander! No complaining, no cursing of humanity; she's easy on the spirit; easy on the mind. Extremely intelligent but keeps things simple. Educated; able to keep things interesting. Smart enough to have something to say, but wise enough not to say it all. Asks only that we enjoy the world with her, and that we be pleased by her "work," and the things she finds, and we are delighted to do so, for it is good. She is not so much a travel guide as a traveling and exploring companion. It matters little. As Bilbo Baggins says, the road goes ever on. We enjoy the road with her. Thank You, Fair Lady! I am possibly too old to do these things, (As an Old Friend would have said, "Darn-darn-double-darn-tripple-darn-heck!") but you take us along. We enjoy exploring the world with you and traveling with your good company. Jerry & Karen

You missed seeing the conical tower and the grand enclosure - you have to go back……….. It’s amaaazing. How did you miss it? It’s below the King’s hill.

Beautiful zimbabwe

You are blessing to your viewers, Noraly.

These ruins remind me of ruins I've seen in India .... the reason the walk ways are so narrow is to keep invading forces from coming in all at once ... they can be taken out easier if it's one at a time. I think that's brilliant! Thanks for showing this to us. Take care ... and I'm very happy you had decent roads without 6 inches of mud on them. Till next time.

Fabulous Noraly you deliver only the best, truly a gift to us all x.

Beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼❤️

i went up here to the ruins when i was a kid - maybe 10 years old. so cool - maybe 50 years ago. still looks the same

Oh man! This brings back memories of one of my favourite holidays ever … a looong time ago.

Hi Noraly. As usual, a beautiful video of the Masvingo area. The Great Zimbabwe ruines are incredible. To imagine that it was built between 1100AD and 1450 AD. Save travel to Beitbridge, South Africa

Your Episodes are more Wakanda than Wakanda itself ! No doubt that Africa is the cradle of humanity . What a beautiful sight . Awesome trip Noraly .

Thank you for sharing us the dry stacked fortress at Greater Zimbabwe. Had a rather ignorant father-in-law who claimed that there were no stone buildings in Africa built by the native population, but I don't think he recognized Egypt and Sudan as being part of Africa. When I told him about greater Zimbabwe he was amazed.

It’s always interesting to see the details of travel. I absolutely love when the music starts - you know the drone videos are coming and the beauty of the area around is visible from the air. I could explore those ruins for days! Very interesting. Thank you so much Noraly😊

The terrain, geology, granite rocks, the views and even the vegetation reminds me very much like Western Australia. The dirt tracks and 2nd class roads look like familiar territory close to some places near Perth.

Thank you for showing Great Zimbabwe to the World. Remnants of a great civilization. More needs to be told and extolled about this great architectural monument of the Karanga ( forbearers of the Shona tribes who are found in Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Mozambique )

I visited the Ruins in 1993, but didn't see the half of it. We totally missed that lake too. Your drone footage puts the ruins into the perspective they deserve. Thank you for an absolutely fabulous episode. I wish you could have seen Mana Pools. But as you acknowledged, not possible on your steed, no matter how brave Savanna may be.

Love that Great Zim ruins...my footprints are also there....👣👣👣👣👣

YESSSSSSSS COMING BACK TO SOUTH AFRICA, PLEASE VISIT KRUNGER NATIONAL PARK , AND SUN CITY resort, and ohhh remember that LAST TIME TABLE MOUNTAIN WAS CLOSED, WIND IS CALM THIS MONTHS IN THE CAPE..... I LOVE THE CONTENT ❤❤

"Let's cross the dam". 🎶 🎹 YES! 😃Music coming in can mean drone takes flight ! Yay! Cool ruins too. Stacked granite makes a good wall. Stands the test of time.

You did such a sterling job showcasing the beauty of Zimbabwe

Gosh, I saw those ruins when I was a child and our family toured what was then Southern Rhodesia. Although I was young, they impressed me then and always stayed in my memory. Unlike many childhood memories, they are even bigger and more impressive than I remember. Of course, we traipsed through after hundreds of other tourists, so it is weird having a totally private tour of the ruins. Also, must say I so excited to hear that you are coming back to South Africa and really looking forward to your next adventures in my country.

Noraly , that was the hill complex looking down on the Great Enclosure a few hundred meters away in the distance - The ''Great Enclosure'' is the main attraction and far more impressive than the hill complex you were stood at....a bit like visiting Luxor Temple and not bothering with the Pyramids. Lol

You’ve taken me places I’ve never been to even though I was born in Zimbabwe. Thank you for showcasing my beautiful country👏🏾👏🏾. Homesick Zimbo/Canadian 🇿🇼🇨🇦

This was one of the most interesting places you have taken us. It is mind boggling how long this has been around, and to think of how may people walked through the very same spots from how many centuries ago. I am fascinated of the massive rocks just sitting on top of these mountains and how long they have been there without ever falling. They must not have many earthquakes there. Thanks for sharing and be safe

Zimbabwe is one of the most underrated countries in the world unfortunately. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone:)

That was fascinating! I had no idea of the sights to be seen in Zimbabwe other than the famous waterfalls. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us!

Proudly Zimbabwean , much love🇿🇼🇿🇼

Very interesting how a simple visit to a place even after hundreds of years past, still there are clues as to how, and who, lived thrived and prospered there, fascinating. Ah, a, NORALY LOVE ♥️ YOU

Great work, Noraly. Thank you for the memories of my homeland from 1959-1978. It's great to see some of these places again. Tatenda!

Hi Noraly,as a South African I have never been to Zimbabwe,thank you for showing us all the wonderful places.

A whole city built into the landscape?! You couldn't even tell it was there from the drone flight. Even by today's standards that's an architectural marvel! I know I'm late to comment but the new African season inspired me to revisit Season 5. This is simply outstanding Noraly!

Noraly, ich bewundere dich. Ich habe auch alle Kontinente bereist und war auch in Zimbabwe und bei den Ruinen. Ich habe auch viele meiner Reisen alleine gemacht, aber dass du das als Frau mit einem Motorrad gemacht hast ist schon bewundernswert. Deine lockere ungezwungene Art wie du die Videos dokumentierst, machen das Ansehen deiner Filme noch interessanter. Liebe Grüße aus Österreich Johann

Another enlightening episode. My knowledge about Africa has increased with every episode, as you uncover the mysteries of every place you visit. Look forward to attending more exciting classes at the "University of Itchy Boots" :)

You rock our world with your adventures. I do enjoy your travels very much. You got me hooked up for life.

Wow, wow, wow ... that Acropolis is magnificent and somehow reminiscent of Machu Picchu. Another stunning finding by Noraly in her adventures through Africa

From your videos, I can smell the southern African sunshine, feel the cracked step under my foot.

always looking forward to your drone footage's, just amazing

Great Zimbabwe: and not a guard rail in sight. Isn’t it refreshing when adults are assumed to be capable of taking care and responsibility, and doing their own risk assessment?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. To see those age old fortress was really special

I pray that God watch over you and keep you safe, I love watching you every morning as I have my coffee it starts my day off realy good with your smiling beauty.🙂🌹

i love ur single life enjoy the traveling...

It's like a non-stop game of Frogger in those busy towns.

Wow, Noraly I had no idea such remains existed in Zimbabwe. fascinating. You looked so alone up there. Beautiful Drone work. Take care.

This episode brings back So many childhood memories, Chimanimani Mountains, Birchenough Bridge, Lake Kyle National Park (we stayed there for a week, chased by hippos and lions!) and taking the car, a Volvo 164, on the pont at Lake Kyle…

Wow! Such a diverse landscape! So amazing how nature has preserved the ruins or maybe it is the lack of foot traffic. You have been quite fortunate to have all these places of interest to yourself! Not like watching the glaciers break off with 500 other people eh. The drone footage really showed the enormity of ruins with beautiful music. Great video!

Oh Noraly, you've done it again! How lucky that we get to share your privileged access to such a spectacular site! Like you, we get to enjoy it without the distraction of other visitors! I'm sure thousands of us are off to google this amazing place now!

Thank you, young adventurous lady! Nostalgia sets in, last time I was there, Southern Sun Hotels. ran a hotel in the vicinity. “ Officially lost” you are not the first! 😂😂😂.

Simply amazing Noraly!!! You take us to the most interesting places with your fantastic videography and top it off with beautiful drone shots. Thank you so much.

You land on some very interesting places and present the finest captivating commentary. Thumbs up. Always excited for what comes next. God bless you.👍👍👍😊😊😊

What a beautifull place the Ruins and magnifecent drone shots there. Safe travels, hou het veilig. Groetjes René

Admiring historical sites, beautiful vistas, and riding on a motorcycle sure beats a day at work sitting at a desk!!!

you were going to fall in love with Matopo hills as well. Thank you for showcasing my country of birth.
