Using a Fiat Multipla as a starting point, the pair modify it with a range of features aimed at older motorists, before putting their creation to the test in Christchurch, Dorset, where they enlist the help of several elderly drivers to give their verdict. Meanwhile, May tests the new Range Rover on the streets of London before travelling to the Nevada Automotive Test Center in the United States to see how capable it really is off-road, taking part in a ten-mile race against an autonomous military vehicle known as Terra Max.

Armed with second-hand estate cars bought on a £1,500 budget, Clarkson chooses a BMW 528i Touring, Hammond opts for a Subaru Impreza WRX Estate, and May selects a Volvo 850R Estate. Beginning their journey at Lake Victoria, long believed by Victorian explorers to be the Nile’s source, the trio travel through Uganda towards Lake Edward, which they believe may hold the real answer. Along the way they pass through Entebbe Airport, battle heavy traffic in Kampala, and contend with harsh road conditions before converting their cars into makeshift mobile homes for the remainder of the expedition. When their initial theory proves incorrect, the journey takes a dramatic turn as they head south into Tanzania and the Serengeti, pursuing a new theory that the source of the Nile lies there instead.

Facing increasingly hostile conditions, the presenters battle muddy tracks, punishing dirt roads, and some of the most challenging terrain ever attempted on Top Gear, all while taking in the dramatic landscapes of East Africa. Along the way, they resort to salvaging parts from each other’s cars to stay mobile, attempt to cross a river using a home-made ferry, and tackle a notoriously car-destroying road across the Serengeti. As the journey nears its end and the trio break camp for the final time, cooperation gives way to competition, with the expedition turning into a race to see which presenter can be the first to locate and reach the source of the Nile.
