Nigeria has alot of problems right now and travel there is highly not recommended by the US State Dept, speaking of the State Dept, I think travel to Colombia is possible despite the travel warnings. Colombia is an US ally and travel is only dangerous if you venture outside the safe major cities like Bogota and Medellin. I think the State Dept travel warnings haven't been updated in a while. Also the fears about Swine Flu affecting the filming of TAR15 is highly impossible, as long as the teams, crew, and other people involved in the race follow health guidelines like washing their hands and sanitizing them, infection from Swine Flu is very unlikely to happen. My only wishlist for this season or next season is to visit newer countries and former countries, but newer areas within them like Sardinia in Italy, the Greek island of Crete, Wales/N. Ireland in the UK, Hainan/Wuhan in China. Even Lake Baikal in Siberia as well as Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. Also for teams I like to see a multiracial team (dating, married, best friends), as well as Native American, and Motorheads/Skatepunks. A new twist that could be cool if they introduce a new task choice like "Rewind" where a team has to return the beginning of the leg and do all the tasks again before continuing on. That would be cool to see as the opposite of "Fastforward" At least I am happy to hear about TAR16 has been given to go ahead.

I hope they can visit an African country this year. I don't think they have been to Zimbabwe before???

Sorry, if you have been watching/reading the news, Zimbabwe still has some problems with their newly elected-government right now. I also don't expect to see the race visit Congo (formerly Zaire), Angola, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Somalia, Cote d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Chad, Central African Republic, Burundi, Sudan, and Eritrea! These places still have problems such as civil war, government disputes, and corruption right now so we could still see the race visit countries like Algeria, Libya, Djibouti, Seychelles, Comoros, Swaziland, Lesotho, Gabon, Eqtl. Guinea, Cameroon, Malawi, Rwanda, Sao Tome, Niger, Mali, Ghana, Benin, Togo, Gambia, Cape Verde, Mauritania, Congo-Brazzaville, and Uganda. These places are a bit friendlier despite smaller disputes, but travel to these countries is safe. Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and Tanzania I like to see more of, plus Kenya isn't on the news much anymore since their government elections a while ago, which led to violence in Nairobi metro area, but we haven't heard much about it since then.

RealityFanWA,
No, the Amazing Race has never gone to Zimbabwe and why should it with the hostile reception of the Mugabe government to all whites?
Here are the African countries the Amazing Race has visited:
South Africa 3 times
Morocco 3 times
Botswana
Burkina Faso
Egypt
Ethiopia
Kenya
Mozambique
Namibia
Senegal
Tanzania
Tunisia
Zambia

I'm hoping to see the Gold and Ivory Coasts for the first time... Maybe even the dark jungle heart of the continent!
