The Grand Tour release date: When is Zimbabwe episode out?

As a long-time devotee of The Grand Tour, I can hardly contain my excitement for their final adventure in Zimbabwe! Having grown up with these lads and their automotive escapades, it feels like a bittersweet goodbye as they embark on one last hurrah. Their choice of vehicles – the Lancia Montecarlo, Ford Capri 3-litre, and Triumph Stag – is simply delightful, reminding me of my own adolescent dreams of car ownership.


In the next episode of The Grand Tour, the guys will be making a return trip to Zimbabwe for what looks like their final adventure together.

In the culmination of their escapade, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May disregarded Mr. Wilman’s guidelines and embarked on a journey across Zimbabwe in vehicles that had long been coveted by each of them.

As a cinephile about to embark on an unforgettable journey, I find myself behind the wheel of a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-liter, and a Triumph Stag. With the open road stretching out before me, it’s clear that this trip will be filled with heart-wrenching moments. And as we venture to an oddly recognizable island, I can’t help but feel a sense of foreboding anticipation for the emotional climax that awaits us all.

In the recent episode titled “Sand Job”, aired in February, the boys embarked on a desert journey for the first time. They faced intense heat, not ideal conditions, while traveling. The adventure was filled with unexpected obstacles such as real minefields and an encounter with bats potentially infected with Ebola.

Although their joint adventure concludes, fans can still savor a heartfelt farewell episode. Now, let’s delve into the details of the upcoming Zimbabwe special – here’s what we know so far.

When will the next episode of The Grand Tour be released?

The Grand Tour locations

Previously, the group has shot scenes in distant lands like Colombia, Vietnam, and Switzerland. This upcoming project will also take them to remote settings.

In the latest installment, the group is set to return to Africa. They recently visited Mauritania, a country located in the northwest corner of the continent, and their journey concludes in Zimbabwe for the finale.

Regarding the destination, Clarkson mentioned: “I’ve had a soft spot for deserts, particularly the Sahara. However, it’s challenging to visit places like Mali, Libya, Algeria, Chad or even the peak of Nigeria there.”

“Afterward, our focus became identifying the least suitable vehicles for cross-Sahara journeys, and I believe we excelled at this task.”

Is there a trailer for The Grand Tour Zimbabwe special?

Absolutely! The trailer for the upcoming series was shown before its premiere, showcasing clips from the final installment that brings to an end the 22-year run of this trio on screen.

At the end of the teaser, Clarkson says: “So, for the last time – here we go.”
