Plot summary

The presenters head to Mozambique on a mission to feed the people of Bingo, an isolated town in the west of the country, with fish from the country's capital of Maputo, covering a distance of approximately 200 miles. To do this, each of them attempt to find the best transport solution: May buys a Mercedes-Benz Estate and modifies it by fitting a Perspex tank filled with sea water in which to keep the fish alive; Clarkson buys a Nissan Hardbody truck which he fits with a generator and an ice machine in an attempt to keep the fish frozen and Hammond buys a TVS Star motorcycle and devises a rack which he fits to the bike's rear, inspired by a local method of drying and salting the fish to preserve them. After unsuccessfully trying to catch fish using local methods, they buy fish at a local market. Early in the journey, Clarkson's truck crashes into May's car upon rescuing it, damaging its radiator grille. Deeper into rural Mozambique, May constantly soaks himself with sea water from his ill-fitted tank and, due to his damaged radiator grille, suffers multiple breakdowns due to water intrusion. Hammond loses a large number of his fish on the bumpy roads, constantly gets stuck in thick mud and endlessly falls from his motorbike. Clarkson suffers very few issues except when his ice machine breaks, causing him to make small adjustments to his truck in order to smoke the fish with his exhaust. Upon May's car breaking down in the middle of a lake, despite Hammond and Clarkson crossing successfully, Clarkson cuts off the front end of the Mercedes and tows what remains of the rear portion using his truck - much to May's dismay and annoyance. Eventually, the three reach Bingo with May's fish dead, Clarkson's fish ruined and Hammond having almost no fish left. As a result, they sell no fish and leave Bingo in a helicopter "like all charitable celebrities".
