Jezza Sign

"Wow! It's my town!"

Jezza, alternatively spelled Jjeza, is a town in Uganda, around an hour from Kampala, the nation's capital. Top Gear visited the town of Jezza during the first part of the Africa Special.

Jezza was of particular interest to Jeremy Clarkson, as Clarkson's nickname on the show is Jezza, spelt the same way as the town.

During their travel to the source of the Nile in Tanzania, the Top Gear trio passed through Jezza and stopped to look around at Clarkson's behest. Later, Clarkson and May bought Hammond an oversized chair as a present to demonstrate that his car was too small, which he managed to put in, leaving the boot half-open.

Jezza does not appear on Google Maps, although searching for it will result in you being taken to the town's Primary School.
