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
Tunisia
Zambia

You Forgot Mauritius and Tanzania

And Madagascar.
apskip:
Wow. Make a geographic statement and it gets big attention. I guess that shows how little else is going on right now. I did not forget Tanzania except in data entry. It was on the list I prepared, but in alphabetizing I inexplicably did not bring it into my post.
Madagacar and Mauritius are islands in the Indian Ocean and as such do not qualify in my view as being part of the African continent. My definition of African continent stops at Mozambique and does not extend eastward. However, my view appears to be not shared by many, as they include Mauritius and Madagascar as African countries. Let's root for future Amazing Races in Seychelles, Reunion and the Comoros Island(which is one that has mostly excaped my notice in the past but comes up on some African nations lists) to boost the African nations count.
Also, some people would count the airport stop that AR5 teams had in Nairobi as evidence that Kenya was part of teh race. I do not count it.

Well, I'm glad you have made it so. Once apskip makes his declaration, then we should all bow down to him and chant his name.

Mali FTW. That is all. Bamako, Djenne & Timbuktu are culturally rich & beautiful places to visit. Plus, according to wiki, it is a relatively politically/socially stable country. And it has yet to have an AH1N1 WHO-confirmed case.
