“Yes and no. Using the definition of the source as furthest tributary from the final destination of the river, Top Gear’s logic is that the destination of the Nile’s water is the Atlantic Ocean, ultimately, and not terminating at the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, while they were unsuccessful in finding anything south of Lake Victoria (further from the Sea), according to their logic, anything to the east that connects to the lake would be furthest from the Ocean and thus the true source of the Nile. However, what is really up for dispute is claiming that the Nile can be considered to terminate at the ocean, when the river itself clearly flows into the sea.” (megacookie of Reddit)

Source Of The Nile

Ms. Lexie Dickinson · Answer

It’s possible. The Nile flows into the Med, which, in turn, flows into the Atlantic. If they didn’t find any further source of water, then it may very well be THE source. There may be others, though. As usual, though, our three heroes made it very entertaining, and ending both episodes with the theme tune from the movie, Zulu (1964), was a stroke of genius. I’m surprised no one has complained that they used this piece of music, clearly from a time when Queen Victoria’s soldiers were still bent on conquest and colonization. Weird, that.
