The Grand Tour Mozambique Special

Wrapping up the second series of Prime Video original series, The Grand Tour, the boys head off to Mozambique to do some so-called humanitarian work by delivering the fishes from the capital city Maputo to the village of Bingo.

The Grand Tour Mozambique Special

On the Mozambique special, Jeremy Clarkson drives a Nissan Datsun Truck which has an ice generator he stole from the hotel, James May drives an old Mercedes estate with some aquarium installed of it, and Richard Hammond, stupidly, goes for a two-wheeler TVS bike.

Before setting off, the boys gone fishing in a stormy day and things weren't gone well so on the next morning, they got buckets of fishes to start with, signalling the start of their journey to Bingo. Things are looking good until Hammond is losing his fishes and worse enough, approaching through the muddy waters, Hammond keeps falling and James' car is causing engine failures.

On the next day, James refills the aquarium with salt water, Jeremy replaced the broken ice generator and turn it into a foundry for fishes, and the journey continues. Sure, they faced another muddy roads up ahead but later on, they've been through the deepest, wettest, part of the road. The Datsun Truck made it, even the bike made it because Hammond found the narrowest part of the road, but sadly, it's the end of the road for James' Mercedes estate.

Third day, the Mercedes's engine was thrown away for good and now towed by Clarkson's pickup truck as the boys approaching Bingo. They've reached their destination and present the fish to the whole villagers but sadly, none of the villagers are interested on those.

And that concludes the second series of The Grand Tour. We've seen Richard destroyed an electric supercar, racing a Ford GT to Canada, driving a Bugatti Chiron to Italy, making an unscripted show, Jeremy making a Gymkhana spoof, boys driving Jags, solving the gas station problem, driving vintage racers, breaking a speed record, and gone offroading in Canada. They've presented some of the high-profile celebs in their Celebrity Face Off segment, tested out the newest cars, and so much more. Only problem is, who is the mystery driver lapping round cars round the Eboladrome anyway?

Still, that's it for The Grand Tour for now and let's hope the boys will be back for more.
