A Ba’aka (pygmy) guide brings me into their forest full of WILD elephants 🇨🇫[S7-E77] 

I am a terminal brain and breast cancer patient and your videos bring me such joy and excitement.. God Bless..Thank you.. Peace out..........Alaska thanks you for the bath!!!

Imagine the stories this woman will tell someday when she's drinking tea on the porch at 98 years old. What an amazing life she has made for herself.

My husband was fighting cancer and he watched your videos he so loved it and enjoyed watching them.July 2023 he passed away.Thank you for posting your inspirational videos.More power to you !!! ❤

Was I the only one crying from the very beginning of seeing these animals, and then bawling at the protective mama and the baby? Noraly - thank you for this beautiful and emotional cinema.

The scene with the mother protecting her baby was very heartwarming. Excellent.

As an African I'm brought to tears when I see this beautiful country. Thanks Noraly for showing CAR to the world.

At 83 Years of age, I enjoy all your videos, Thank you so much for showing me the world as we should see it. Safe travels, Look forward to each adventure.

A broken down Toyota, almost as rare as seeing the elephants. Glad you filmed and put that scene in the video Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤

It's not gold or jewels... THIS is the treasure that we saw today. Beautiful country and animals that must stay protected. I felt like I was there!!!

Better than any documentary of National Geographic ❤

I've followed Noraly for years, through both danger and beauty but todays elephant viewing was an emotional high for me. Thank you Noraly.

That is the most elephants I've ever seen in one place! So many babies. My 95 yr old mom has collected elephant figures her whole life as she finds them fascinating. She really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing.

I’m a former adventure touring cyclist who is now quite challenged by a half hour on my ebike. Thanks so much for the vicarious thrills and elephant highs etc. and reminding us what a beautiful planet we live on. You’re really creating a travelogue masterpiece that will inspire people forever.

It makes my heart sing to know these elephants are not captives and they can come and go as they please. 😊 Lots of babies so they must be happy! Thanks , Noraly, for your dedication to bring us these treasures that 99% of us would not be able to appreciate without you!

Noraly, every time I see one of your videos, I think of a quote I saw one time (and I'm fairly old, so it's an old quote) that the best life a person can pray for is a life well lived. You've done that and are still doing that. Amazing. Thank you for taking us along.

Noraly, THANK YOU! We have been dedicated followers for years now, and are so impressed by your hard work and dedication. As we sit comfortably at home, we see you travel to places that I will only ever dream of. You take us with you! I am impressed by your cinematography, music selections and narration. You are not only an adventurer, but an educator and story teller! Seeing the forrest elephants in their natural environment is inspiring! Beautiful! Safe Travels to you!

I have spent 35 years in geological exploration in Africa. I of course love your Africa tales as most of where you have travelled I have too. Watched every episode. Having seen what you have seen in todays episode is a privilege. However your photography was something else. Sunning. I’m sending this video of yours to all my friends around the world. That is how good it was S7 - E77.

I don't know why but seeing these elephants in their natural habitat made me emotional. I teared up. It was a fantastic sight. Thank you so much Noraly 🙂

While I was in the US Navy, I had the opportunity to visit Mombasa Kenya in November 1979, just after the American Embassy was overrun in Tehran, Iran. While in Mombasa i signed up for a one-day safari through Tsavo National Park. Elephants, Lions and other big cats were on my list of animals I wanted to see. What I saw was herds of Zebra, Giraffe, Warthogs, Ostriches, one huge Buffalo, and a few other antelope type animals, large and small. No Lions, Leopards, or Cheetahs. Finally, as we were preparing to return to Mombasa, we saw two Elephants but, they were being driven along by a caretaker. Oh, I almost forgot about the Baboons. Some even entered our open top safari vehicle. That was after lunch, and we were headed back out into the Serengeti. A wonderful day seeing the animals we did get to see. Upon leaving Mombasa our battle group was ordered closer to Iran where we spent most of 101 days going in circles before getting into port again in the Philippines.

I find the best way to watch this, is to let 3 or 4 episodes build up and binge them all at once ❤

I’m dying slowly of depression and a host of illnesses, Noraly is a great watch. I can live vicariously through her videos. I love learning about other cultures and witnessing the humanity In people of the world. To me, this is better than anything on television. What an amazing woman. 👍🤘

In a world full of greed and hate just knowing that such a place exists makes it so much better. Thank you for doing the hard work of getting there and sharing this magic place with us all!

"Just a magical experience"!!!! Noraly's words encapsulates the entire Itchy Boots channel.

I’m waiting for “Itchy Boots;The movie” Noraly since we rarely see you without your helmet as you traverse through the jungle, as you were walking towards the elephant reserve, I realize that you are breaking the mode of the “blond-bimbo” you are far from that, I hope your charismatic demeanor will enhance other young girls to be independent world travelers…your videos bring so much to the viewers. National Geographic (they should sponsor you) and PBS educator all wrap in one package …. I would like to see you on TED TALK because you have accomplished so much that your talk should encourage others to emulate…..you make world travel (and on a motorbike) soooo easy! Safe travels Noraly…

Far away from one nation trying to wipe out another, mindless wars, even less mindless politics and power struggles, exists another peaceful universe. People go about their daily lives as best as they can no matter what, helping and respecting one another and their environment, children take great joy in what they have. And Noraly brings this to us through thick and thin and I can hear Louis Armstrong singing "What a wonderful world" Thanks Noraly for all the trouble you go through to show us the nicer side of humanity, the beauty of nature and stunning , hidden corners of the world. You are the best. ❤

Thank you Noraly for the last 5 years of special entertainment viewing your travels. This old man, once a dirt bike rider, feels as if he is part of your journey. God bless and be safe 🙏🏻

I like how the rangers and Noraly kept their voices so low not to upset the perfect balance of the tranquil elephant ecosystem - Observing wildlife from a distance is always responsible tourism

Another treasure, thank you. Turtles in In Mexico to Elephants in the Central Republic of Africa I am in awe!

Yes Norally, you did show us why you and Alaska did all those unbelievably tough muddy trails. I'm 62, but the sight of those elephants brings a tear - how rare that is...and will be! Your openness, your joy is infectious. 😊

These Central African Republic episodes have been nothing short of AMAZING. The spectacular destinations you find are always worth the hardship. And your joy just radiated through everything in this episode. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary experience with us ❤

Watching those elephants in one scene is a blessed from God. That was just phenomenal. Thanks Noraly.

I live in the U.S. and I have been to Africa on a safari once. I thought I had seen elephants until I saw THIS! This is the best video I’ve ever seen in my life! And I’ll be 79 years old next month. Seeing those wild elephants in their natural habitat brought tears to my eyes! This is better than Jurassic Park. This is THE REAL DEAL ! Thank you Noraly! You’re the best!

There is only one thing more impressive than the indescribable beauty of that magical land and its exuberant wildlife, and that is the superior human quality of its inhabitants. I thank the brave Norely for her work in showing it to the world.

Norally keep exploring Africa showing all the hidden beautiful views of Africa..Keep the energy on sprint..WE LOVE YOU ❤️

You have become my favourite tube channel by a country mile Noraly Itchy Boots. The Central African Republic is such an incredible place with the happiest smiling, friendly people. It is very clear they have a long & deep connection to the land & the animals. Thank you to them for their stewardship & you for bringing their beautiful country to us.

Does not matter what species, you just don’t mess with a mama and her baby…..😊

From desert elephants in Namibia to forest elephants in the C.A.R. and everywhere in between you bring the world into our living rooms. We thank you.

Fun fact: Elephants are the only four-legged animal with four knees. All other four-legged animals have two knees and two hocks (back legs bend backward). This is why elephants can’t run super fast. I love elephants. ❤️🐘

While watching the elephants my eyes filled with tears of joy and fear of their future. I hope forever in the future the elephants will live on. So beautiful! Thanks to everyone!

Oh My God, a piece of Heaven on Earth. So glad to see these gentle giants running happy and free. Thank you Noraly for sharing with us this magical moment.

No other RU-vid person can compare to you when you can have such an outstanding adventure.

I feel both very sad and very honored to watch this episode I have never seen so many wild and FREE Elephants in one place, God bless those rangers

Thank you Noraly.. This video of these majestic animals brings a hardened old time biker to tears thinking how us humans are destroying so much beauty around us. Once it's gone it's gone! Stay safe girl and thank you again for showing us the world. 🏍...... 🤘😎

The places you show us are super interesting and unique, but, it’s the people you meet that really make the channel. We’re all in this together. Never forget that.

You will never find anyone else in this world except this guys who save and run in between the jungle just to make it going... Salute 🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌

I made this comment last season during Noraly's trip through the Americas, but it's even more true now. 30-40 years from today, Noraly will be invited to speak somewhere, a university for example, and she will tell the stories of all the amazing places she has visited, all the incredible things she has seen, all the unbelievable experiences she's had and all the wonderful people she has met... and no one would believe that she did all those things, esp when traveling by herself on a motorcycle. But then, someone will inform all those in disbelief that Noraly captured it all on video and shared it for all the world to enjoy and appreciate! God bless you and keep you safe in your traveling adventures, Noraly!!

As a single woman world traveler since the 70's and now more local but with a pedal-assist e-scooter, I go everywhere on, , I really identify with your videos and admire you so much! What I like more about the last two videos is that you are stopping for a bit to get to know the people and now the beautiful wildlife!

What an awesome video Noraly! Watching the forest elephants is priceless and you were so fortunate to be there, so close to them Noraly👍👍 Thanks again for taking us in your travels and showing the world how magnificent is Africa and its people! From El Salvador, God bless you🙏

Good to see the local wildlife staff are seriously recording daily data on the health and activity of those elephants. Big respect to CAR 👌

Noraly, once again you have done some fantastic research on your travels. Surely the Elephant is the most majestic of animals and to see the Forest Elephants in their natural habitat was a wonderful treat. It’s so nice to see the joy on your face after reaping the benefits of the struggles you have endured to get to this place. It was a terrific surprise for all of us to yet again, be treated to the wonder that is Africa. I’m so happy for you to have experienced these things and grateful to you for sharing them with us, you’re SIMPLY THE BEST…❤❤❤Rick

Thank you Noraly and the people of the Central African Republic, for allowing us to be present in video form to see your wild and amazing country and let us see the Elephants as they live in there natural form. Bless you all.

I see this as hope for forest elephant 🐘 that people so loved and care for them with protection. Who else sees themselves as taking the same path and places in our heart and mind . Beautiful Noraly thanks for this video.

Oh Noraly I could barely drink my coffee when I saw those elephants with you - I just began to weep and still am! Thank you for such an amazing journey you are sharing with the world!

I think the best part of this video was to see you (Noraly) happy. You have endured so much in the past few episodes, that a somewhat relaxing and HAPPY episode was wonderful👍👍. Bob in Nevada

I backpacked around the world at the age of 48 in 1994. One of the highlights was traveling on an elephant through the jungle of Thailand for a whole day. So cool. Appreciate your motorcycle travels so much as I have motorcycled through 48 states and a fair mount of Mexico and Canada. Sure miss those days! Blessings to you as you travel on!

I just love Noraly every week for bringing such joy to our lives 😘

Noraly, you never cease to amaze us with your epic cinematography! This video should come with a warning: 'Prepare to have your heart stolen by adorable baby elephants!'🥰 Thank you for the 'elephant high' 🐘❤

Loved seeing all the baby elephants. This means they are thriving! Thank you, thank you, for taking us with you on this magical journey!

Totally agree with everyone. Noraly's video are far more interesting than anything you can see on TV or national geographic. This place is like elephant heaven. I think I will be able to sit for hours just watching them. Thanks so much again and again Noraly.

This person is my hero. She has no fear. Wow. No words.

The best part for me was when the mother elephant pulled her new baby out of the mud and gave it walking lessons! Thanks again Noraly, this was fantastic!!

This video will definitely generate tourism to Central Africa Republic just to see these elephants in the wild. The scene was really breathtaking. Thanks for this special tour.

I am left with only about 60 ep. of S6. Currently I am up to date on S7, following your great, highly admirable journeys & incredible treks into the most inhospitable places on Earth. I now watch your videos only on my large screen Sony 4K tv. Your videos comes out magnificently on a full screen (with tks to your professional quality recordind equipment). As a bonus, I output the audio to my Yamaha AV amplifier [Never Miss A Sound]. I hear clearly every sound far & near as you recorded; even the sharp distinctive buzzling of a mosquito. I love the loud rumbling sound of your Honda Rally bike navigating all sorts of terrain through a subwooofer. All these in home comfort while you constantly endure mental & physical torture to bring to us the mystery of places, people, special events, etc Bless you Noraly with lots of love. From Stephen L. Singapore

I love the positive energy that drives you & keeps you going even in the face of very challenging situations

I Hope all the responsibles for the Tourism industry in Africa saw this. The Africa that all of us think of , since we were little kids . The Africa that the old ancestors of this extended continent lived and preserved. The Africa the belongs to them, the animals. It's part of our job to refuse any exotic wood came from tropical places. That should be legislated to avoid any damages to this sacred places. No more deflorestation. Thanks for sharing it Noraly. This must be a heart touching experience to remembering forever.

14:21 Noraly : ' I'm kind of on an elephant high right now.' This is why I love Noraly. I hear sentences I would never, never hear from anyone else. They truly make my day.

Oh man, gotta comment. I watch every single upload.....I think this is like #1 most amazing episode ever no bike required. I absolutely love elephants and this was just incredible. Thank you so much!!!!

I didn' find the correct word to xpress what I felt when you reached the tower, and...suddenly all that beutitull elephants over ther... but You helped me... MAGICAL, just what a magical moment. Thank you so much. God bless you Noraly.

The thrill of experiencing the elephants was clearly evident in the video. What an amazing experience that must have been. And the story of the mom and baby was so heartwarming.

I can't imagine that I would ever have the means nor the guts to travel to the places Noraly does. I'm so grateful to her for bringing her adventures to RU-vid so we can share the experiences and virtually rub elbows with all the wonderful landscapes, people and creatures of the world that she encounters.

watching Elephants takes me the past , when many historical events were elephant had a pivot role . Thank you Noraly

I cried seeing so many elephants, Noraly. Gratitude for sharing it all.

Noraly, you never cease to amaze me with the people you meet, the beautiful scenery you share, and the wildlife experiences! The elephants were amazing and provide a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for sharing another day in your adventures. Ride safe Noraly!

Where these animals are meant to be, free and wild. Thank you, Noraly for sharing this incredible glimpse into the daily life of these magnificent animals as well as the hard work and effort these men put into preserving them. All the best to you, world traveler and ambassador. Hurray!

My favorite episode so far, and I have watched all of them recovering from knee surgery. this is so amazing you sharing your travels with the world. I am finally seeing why you risk life and limb to travel the world. thank you

Following you on your trips is an incredible privilege! I get to vicariously see the world and many of its wonders and people! Thank you so much!

AMAZING! All I can do is SMILE!

This was the most beautiful video you ever made. I loved how your bravery drives you for such places and better, we can be with you everywhere. Thank you Noraly.

Amazing place, except for the flies! But seeing all those elephant families made it worthwhile.

Hi Ms Boots, you are an amazing woman with a beautiful soul. Your travels put a smile on everyone’s face. Thanks again; may god smile on you in every step of your way 🥰🙏🕉️👍

The most amazing show ever! Drama,scenery,geology,fun,laughter,geography,danger,adventure. We Love you Noraly :)

It takes your breath away !!!!!!!!!!! Simply AMAZING !!!!!! Only Norale can do something like this----YOU ARE OUTSTANDING!!!!!

I swear, this scene makes all the miles of riding through mud and rain and sketchy checkpoints and even the flies absolutely worthwhile. Incredible! Indeed magical!

This is a combination of determination, adventure, ingenuity, and beauty. Noraly, you've made my day great. Keep it up. 💯

The elephant observatory was epic , what beautiful animals .

Isn't it interesting that Nature in its own element (e.g. "the wild") brings Joy to the human heart. The interactions of the various families or tribes of elephants is interesting to me, watching the mom guarding and guiding her baby. Great choice of soundtrack music, too. Fantastic. Thank you, Noraly.

You must be fautured in genius book of records,,the joy of ur face makes me feel am the one touring the place... continue showing as places we could never new existed

Again you have me weeping in my porridge over the mother and baby elephant in the Dzanga Bai! Brilliant! Thank you, cheers.

I am absolutely go smacked by the elephants! WHAT? 120 WILD Forest Elephants! No intrusive tourists on safaris like in the Savannahs, hopely no poachers, no one to bother them- this place is a miracle and I am so thankful it is remote and hard to get to for the elephants sake.Simply astonishing images😂😂😂❤❤

It’s amazing how you evolved from recording scenery and sharing some views, to make us feel the experience of travelling. Kudos for the evolution, and for making us feel the trip!

World Ambassador bringing the beauty of humanity and the magnificent worldlife of Africa to our lives An Ode to joy !

Have had the privilege of doing a walking safari in the Okavango delta and seeing a big herd of elephants while on foot. You cannot really explain the experience of seeing this to anyone if you have not done it yourself. It is an amazing sight and experience

My Sunday consists of a cup of tea and watching Itchy Boots. Recognise the elephant area from shows that research their behaviour.

An incredible trip in the African jungle, you transport us to the incredible magic of this wild flora and fauna, thank you for taking us on your trip Noraly from Ecuador, admiring your work, thank you.

Im addicted to this adventure. Every episode comes with a thrilling package. Thank you so much for bringing the world closer to us❤.

My goodness... this is what the world may have looked like hundreds of thousands of years ago. I had goosebumps through this episode. Thank you, Noraly... again... for sharing your incredible adventures.

Noraly is sounding & looking as vibrant,positive,healthy,exciting etc as ever. That's despite all the rigorous adventures she's been thru.Such an inspiration for me to keep a positive aspect on my life.

Best national geographic content. God bless you.

Episode 777 blessed with pure biblical energy. Safe travels! Blessing to you and the elephants !!

An Absolute legend "Noraly" 👏👏👏, No one never inspired me to travel as much you do Noraly, Thank you so much.
