Before sharing a snap of his credentials he said: ‘And I’m now a BA bronze cardholder. So it’s a dead dog for lunch I guess.
Jeremy and his Grand Tour co-presenters also found themselves ‘abandoned’ in the country after similar delays on October 4.
However, the trio were luckily stranded in a luxury camper after finishing filming the next series of their popular Prime Video show.
Taking to Instagram Jeremy decided to document the delay with his followers as he joked about their chances of survival and boasted about living in the lap of luxury with 40 staff waiting on them hand and foot.
Announcing the news with a shot of Hammond and May staring at their phones next to the remains of their dinner and a half-full glass of wine, he wrote: “BA messed up our flight home so we’re staying here at a luxury campsite in Botswana. With only 40 employees. Now it’s all about survival.’
Jeremy then continued to post regular updates as he planned the trio’s stay at a remote campsite that has a stunning pool.
Sharing a video of the luxury camp they are staying at, he wrote: “Lack of update. We manage. But for how long?’
The video showed a huge furnished living room before settling on James as he opened the fridge to reveal fully stocked shelves full of beer.

James then opted for Jeremy’s brand of Hawkstone lager as he enjoyed the tipple.
In a follow-up post, the presenter-turned-farmer shared a serene picture of an outdoor swimming pool, writing sarcastically: “When BA delays a flight by 12 hours, don’t they realize how much trouble they are causing passengers? We are fighting to stay alive here.’
Fans began adding to the joke in the comments with one teasing: ‘Are you bored Jeremy?’ and another added: ‘I see the Bear Grills approach to survival!’
He later posted a lovely shot of a meerkat on its hind legs watching the sunset over a sand plane.
He captioned the video: ‘Thanks to BA’s incompetence, this is how I was forced to spend my evening.’
The footage provided an opportune moment to go after Richard Hammond, who was often nicknamed ‘The Hamster’ in his Top Gear days.
One fan joked: “I didn’t know Hammond was so hairy,” while another added, “Awesome picture of Hammond.”

Updating fans as the trio entered day two of survival, Jeremy shared a snap of the two birds pecking at his breakfast.
“Another day and the horror continues.” “Two red-eyed bulbul birds helping themselves to sugar for my morning coffee,” he wrote.
He ramped up the drama in a follow-up post when he shared a video of the kiyoto-like animal crawling into its dead prey.
Joking in the caption, he announced the news: “James May failed I’m afraid,” before later informing fans he had misidentified the dead prey and “Actually Richard Hammond has been turned into food.”
Fans continued to engage with Jeremy’s storytelling, with one asking “What was he driving at the time?”
Others poked fun at Richard’s height as they added: “It wasn’t a big meal then” and “Was it a skinny carcass for the poor (animal)” with fox emojis.
