UNICEF During the trip, the pair visited three UNICEF facilities to promote the work done by the organisation. In Ethiopia, they visited a land mine awareness project and met children injured by mines. In Uganda, they met former child soldiers of the Lord's Resistance Army and saw the work being done to rehabilitate them. In Malawi, they visited care centres for children orphaned by AIDS.

In March 2017, during a Reddit AMA, Ewan said there were "no plans at the moment" to do a third installment of the series. On 6 August 2018, Boorman tweeted a tease that the Long Way Up, a trip from Tierra del Fuego to Alaska, would happen "if all goes well". In June 2019, it was reported that Boorman confirmed that the filming of a third installment would begin "in a few
