Top Gear: Africa special

Top Gear Africa special

The boys head to Africa to find the definitive source of the River Nile. Their cars? Three aging estates: a Beemer for Jeremy, a Volvo for James and a Subaru for Hammond.

In the first of this two-part Top Gear special, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are in Africa with a simple mission - to find the definitive source of the Nile.

Over the years many explorers claim to have already done just that, but the Top Gear trio believe that they can do better by travelling further and faster than any exploration team in history using only grit, ingenuity and three ageing estate cars.

In the second part of the special, the lads continue their epic African odyssey.

Having survived insane traffic, lethal mudslides and some distinctly dubious map reading, the trio and their ailing estate cars reach the climax of their quest to find the definitive source of the Nile.
