In this episode I am doing some local exploring around Uis in Namibia. First I visit the famous rock painting called 'White Lady', hidden under a rock in the Brandberg, the tallest mountain of Namibia. After that, I go for a ride with Basil, who owns the Brandberg Rest Camp. We swap bikes and I get to ride his Honda Africa Twin from 1988 with no less than 150.000 kilometers on the odometer!

Your host/guide brought you to an isolated outcropping of rocks to show you a rare and well preserved rock painting. Perhaps in the past 5000 years only a handful of explorers would have found or noted it's existence. What an opportunity and pleasure to allow us to look at this precariously standing rock painting.

🤣🤣🤣 until the day you arrive in a tiny village, in the middle of nowhere, where not a soul speaks English. You ask for directions to the next town. Everyone frowns. Chitter chatter erupts. Suddenly, half the village points in one direction, the other half point in the opposite direction. 🤔 More chatter chatter. More frowns. One bright spark on a bicycle starts riding, indicating enthusiastically to follow him. You do. And, so does all the villagers, laughing loudly running alongside the land rover. Oopsie, you end up ploughing through their freshly planted fields, bouncing over rocks and stones ... suddenly a road appears several meters away ... who was right, who was wrong? They were all right, some pointed to the road around the back of the village that lead to this road, while the others pointed directly to the road on the other side of the fields ... true story! Much laughter was had by all. Africa is full of "roads" leading nowhere, but somewhere in the back of beyond ... and, with the right attitude there's always great big smiles and much laughter to be had by all ... just keep driving, a colourful journey eventually leads to your destination 🌀🌈😎

It would ruin the magic immediately if you had to drag someone with you, discussing destinations, explaining your decissions, arguing about navigation mistakes, holding you back or pushing you around. They might as well put you in jail, right ? I watch your video's and in my mind I ride with you. Thanks for the adventure. You're living the life we dream of.

Alone is how I mostly roll. I enjoy riding with others when I am just along for the ride and am not participating in decisions. I would never impose my will on someone who has organized the adventure. When I am alone, I am free to spend 3 hours having a personal tour of a museum, or riding 6 hours straight, or stopping every 45 minutes because I drank that extra mug of coffee. To be totally free, one must travel alone.

Love those Africa Twins, along with the Transalp 600s they've aged so fantastically well. I don't know how they are elsewhere in the world but they're starting to get really expensive over here in the UK as the numbers dwindle and the retro lines age in nicely. Great guy you were riding with too, very knowledgeable about his local area. I bet he'd be good for some campfire storytelling.
@TsvetanVR
@TsvetanVR Год назад
Yup. I had to cross almost all of Bulgaria until I found a really good Transalp (tested 12) after watching Freddie's video on them. I did end up buying a 650 instead of a late 80s 600 though. I really love it. It's still a full-size bike that's also good for touring but not anywhere near as heavy or tall as the big boys.

The paintings are amazing. The thought that was put into finding materials to create the paints and colors long ago exemplifies human curiosity. I'll bet your ride on the Africa Twin was thought provoking. The bigger bikes do have more power and improved suspensions but they are also cumbersome and heavy in awkward situations. Sometimes less is more. A 250cc or 300cc machine will conquer many challenges.

I didn't know that Africa Twins arrived in 1988.. nor that Noraly arrived in 1987. Clearly, both are doing well given their respective ages. If Columbus and Magellan had had RU-vid in their time, they could never make a more interesting compilation of travel, exploration and adventure than Ms. Schoenmaker.

One of the original Africa Twins, the 650. I had one of the first 750 ones, the RD04. Totally reliable.

What a cool episode! Your confidence to find the right road and tracks is admirable. Someone else would be freaking out with that lost feeling. And that pipe takes the biscuit! What a guy! Craggy like the dirt. I mentioned in another episode that you should ride an Africa Twin - a newer one though!

Noraly, it is amazing to me that when you get off the main track you have this knack for finding your way back. No problem!!! I really enjoyed this video adventure and getting to see the very old rock paintings. Very nice of the gentleman to switch bikes for a fun ride!!

Cool a local adventure bike rider showed you around to some interesting sites, places and things you would not have seen otherwise. A good replacement bike for Savannah would be one of the new CRF 300 Ralleys. Still lightweight where it is easier to handle in the sand, rocks and washouts and to pick up if dropped when you are alone but with a bit more power and a little larger fuel tank..

The more I watch your videos, the more I think that Honda Motorcycle should offer you your next motorcycle !!! You are Honda's best seller! In any case, I congratulate you again on your perseverance, and if the old man that I am can give you any advice, do not go back through South Africa to return !!! Have a good trip, Noraly!

Oh my gosh!!! I know I am so far behind, but anyway… I thought your riding pal was Anders Duplessey from the BBC show ‘Wild at Heart’. It is so good to meet wonderful people when you travel. Wishing you many blessings and safe travels.

The day I ran out of options, I actually started to live.. Life became really simple for me. Raising the family, supporting my friends, looking after the nature, all became so easy. This helped me to ' Make time '...Now I have plenty of time for everything.😁 Your videos is what I like and what I connect to, personally I don't know you, so will never comment on your life or your living. Just follow your soul, one day you'll find what you're looking for. Live Long n Prosper 🙏

It’s as hot as hell in the UK at the moment and travelling on my bmw rt is murder with all the heat. I just don’t know how you do this day after day. Much respect. I loved the paintings. History is my thing and to imagine someone some 2000-6000 years ago carefully painting the rocks is just something else. I put my minds eye there and I almost project myself there, what a different world it was then. Keep up the great logs. They are very much appreciated. It’s a little ray of sunshine in an all to dark world. Thank you Noraly.

08:52 "This is the main road - look how boring!" But look how safe! Noraly you give me goose bumps when you ride way 'off piste' into the middle of nowhere in the world's most underpopulated country. One significant failure, like a broken clutch, and you would have to walk out. How much water do you have? How far can you walk in a day? I can only assume that you have a GPS-based emergency EPIRB or similar, but even then, help could be many days away. I am so glad you made it back to the 'boring' main road!

After riding an Africa Twin for 150,000 kilometers, I'd probably be ready to ride a smaller motorcycle too, but the Africa Twin is a stellar motorcycle. Good Trade for both of you ! 🙂👍

Great video. You found a typical Africa Twin owner - old, gnarly, bit of a character. Most of them seem to be like that and their bikes - like them - go on for ever. Very sad to see farms abandoned for lack of water - like The Grapes of Wrath, African style. I wouldn't swap bikes if I was you, the 250 seems to be made for your kind of frame and the Africa Twin will be hard for you to pick up if you drop it in the dirt. I've enjoyed this Namibia trip more than any other RU-vid vlog because I didn't know much about the country. Namibia tends to go under the radar compared to many African countries so travelling through it was an inspired idea. You're not just a pretty face!

That guy reminds me of a TV character (Dupree) in Out of Africa which used to run on Sunday nights here in the UK. Nice to see more rock paintings, proving there were artists even in monolithic times. Cheers Noraly for sharing.
