Botswana Special

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

In a Top Gear special, the team travel to Africa where they are challenged to buy a second hand car costing no more than £1,500 and in no way designed to go off road and drive across the wilds of Botswana. Along the way they must negotiate salt pans, rivers and reserves full of animals while facing sweltering heat and suffocating dust.

Our Take

This one earns its reputation: tight writing, real stakes, and a payoff that lands. Peak Top Gear.
