As a geologist I’m always hungry for new geologic and geographic knowledge, thanks for taking me along on this ride!!!

My favorite day is when Professor Noraly takes us riding through amazing landscapes, hiking up the rocks and explains how unique geological formations formed millions of years ago and shows us the cool quiver trees…bonus! 🤩

In this episode, we can see her interest and expertise in geology. that's a good combo, Geologist Travel Vlogger

The music & the drone footage over the “crater” & the giants playground outstanding 😊

Noraly, this is now one of my favourite videos of all your journeys. Not only for what you shared with us, but mainly for your courage and entrepreneurship and never forgetting geological and historical data. You are the best! Keep it up! Be safe.

It just so happens that I'm teaching my daughter geology as part of her grade 4 homeschooling and we found your channel last month by coincidence! I mean, I watched initially because of my love for Africa, not knowing that you are also a geologist. Synchronicity!

That was more like a working holiday. She just had no time for the videos for a few days. That girl must be driven by some force of nature…

When I was in primary school in Keetmanshoop there was a road right up to the rim of the Brukaros caldera (which we did in fact think was a crater). Beautiful landscape and interesting geology!

I'm so glad that we have a new episode. I missed your travel reports while you were working on your website. I didn't realize how much I look forward to your reports each week. I feel so fortunate to have discovered your channel as it always makes me smile while I'm learning about our beautiful world.

These landscapes are stunning in so many ways! And learning how they became what they are today is a bonus that you can only get here on the channel. A really great video again!

I am not a geologist but I do find your explanations about the earths ancient formation fascinating. That was some good exercise you had showing us that ‘imitation volcano’ , those strange rock piles near the end of the episode almost looked like walls of ancient buildings.(giants playground). Africa has so many different stories.

I am a biologist but I love learning about geology. I really appreciate the effort you made to show us the culdera and the playground.

Daarom heb je zoveel abonnees Noraly. Die passie die in je zit, voor geologie, voor motorrijden, eigenlijk voor alles. Je hebt echt n passie voor de dingen die je doet. En dat boeit. Elke reis van je, is totaal anders, maar een ding is altijd hetzelfde. Jou PASSIE !. Take care, ride safe Norlay.

You are really going to love Namibia, a great country.

Such an interesting amazing adventure you are doing. I’ve only just started watching you’re videos (today)since you entered Namibia from South Africa. I shall be watching many more

Sure appreciate you having the talent and technical ability to show us what this kind of geological area that this South African continent is like. Some of us will never get a chance to do what you're doing! All the best from Canada

I was thinking the same thing. Always be on the lookout for puff adders because they rely on their camouflage and won't move out of the way when you approach. Getting bitten so far away from medical services would probably be fatal if bitten by a cape cobra and cause a very unpleasant ride to town if bitten by a puff adder. Parts of Namibia have black mambas, something to keep in mind. Lot of scorpions about too. Would carry some kind of emergency snake bite kit myself.

We really enjoy travelling with you and learning about this geology. Thanks for sharing.

I continue to learn so much from you. Here in New Mexico USA we have had lots of volcanic and other geologic activity. There is a caldera north of where I live and your explanation of what a caldera is is the best explanation I've had. Thanks. Be well.

Welcome back Noraly! We all missed you.

A great episode in which you do a difficult walk to show us a caldera. You explain how it was formed. Very interesting. It must have been an amazing explosion! My word, you work so hard for each episode. Thank you so much, Noraly.

Absolutely stunning!! Nowhere else I can learn about these things ... you excite curiosity!! Thank you!

Noraly is an amazing tour guide bringing her viewers to some of the most unique locations in her worldly travels, I have save many of her locations because her videos provide me an impulsive itch to visit South Africa and explore some of the locations she has provided historical information on…. Though I’m not a motorcycle traveler, i have travelled throughout Europe, Asia, and the UK , but never South Africa… though I been to Cairo 4x, love to visit historical sights and Noraly has definitely provided many to explore….

After a short break, Noraly is back. Be aware of the moving sands.

That is the farthest you have ever hiked from your bike to explore so I knew it was going to be good. Quite the rock scramble. The Giant's Playground is one of the most unique landscapes I have ever seen.

Howdy IB! Wow the Giants playground is also a Geologist dream? Between this and the Caldera I imagine this adventure is making your day! Great job showing us the wonderful country of Namibia! Saddle up n ride on!

Wow. She is so brave. I would be afraid of the snakes of Namibia! Cheers to her!! Enjoying the videos and her travels.

Hi Noraly, I managed to follow most of your geology, but was surprised to see "Storm Trooper" Normally amongst the rocks! Keep up the good work.

Never thought I would find geology so fascinating! You're fearless!

I for one, really appreciate it when you explain the geological features that you're transferring through because I love geology when I was in college it wasn't my major but I'm always been interested in it. I love how you can explain and inform us of things that most of us unfortunately will never have the opportunity to see in our lifetimes. So thank you for doing that please keep doing that because to me that's exciting. PS I Love your channel
