Episode Summary & Review
Summary
In the second show of a two part special, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are battling across Namibia in a quest to prove that beach buggies are brilliant. Having survived the challenges of the desert, the trio must now brace themselves for even greater hardship involving rough roads, camping, rhino conservation and a rather unusual river crossing.
Our Take
The Namibia special wraps up with more gorgeous scenery and a genuinely funny finale bit, though the middle stretch sags a bit with familiar bickering. The rhino stop adds a rare moment of sincerity that lands well. Worth finishing if you watched part one, but it’s the weaker half of the two.
