Episodes

Series 1 (2016–2017)

For the first series, with the exception of the two-part Namibia special, each episode featured studio segments filmed in a makeshift tent hosted across various foreign locales. Of these, two sites were each used for two separate but consecutive episodes. Although the series featured celebrities, most appeared in a minor capacity while others were mentioned or involved a look-alike – these appearances mainly were for a running gag involving them heading to meet the presenters in their tent for an interview, only to "die" in a freak accident.

They head to Zimbabwe in cars they've always wanted to own – May brings a Triumph Stag, Hammond brings a Ford Capri GXL and Clarkson brings a Lancia Montecarlo. A red Volkswagen New Beetle was initially presented as the back-up car (soon replaced by a Rover SD1), echoing back to their first-ever back-up car in the Top Gear: Botswana Special , a white Volkswagen Beetle. The trio travels from the Eastern Highlands through Harare before ending their trip in the border town of Kandalunga and crossing into Botswana. After arriving in Maun, Botswana, Clarkson and May are reunited with the Lancia Beta Coupé and Mercedes-Benz 230E from the Botswana Special while Hammond's Opel Kadett had previously been shipped back to the United Kingdom for restoration. As a call back to the route taken during the Botswana Special, the presenters once again trek the Makgadikgadi Pan before finishing on Kubu Island. Note: This episode marks the end of the 22-year-long collaboration of Clarkson, Hammond, and May across both Top Gear and The Grand Tour . The end credits feature a collection of soundbites from the presenters across their careers and a series of photographs of the cast and crew.
