They could go to SA, Kenya, and two of those and get 4 Africa legs easy.

I really want them to visit West Africa again too... They were there for season 6, 12 & 17 and these are my favorite legs.
The biggest problem with countries you named it's logistic, I think. They want to have season filmed asap, and it take some time to get to and out from these small countries in Africa.

Fair point. From about a three minute google search, looks like they'd have to go through Lagos to get to the smaller countries.

You'd be surprised. Most West African countries have decent connections; on Air France, teams may fly nonstop (from CDG) to Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Also, Sao Tome and Principe can be reached via Lisbon on TAP Air Portugal.
However, all of this is not to say that a visit to West Africa is foreseeable. For example, the Ebola crisis has long since left this part of Africa, but production might think twice about visiting some of the countries that were hardest struck - Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Also, countries like Cote d'Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau are not quite safe at the moment (depending on area of course).
All of this being said though, my unprofessional opinion is telling me that a West African visit would be incredibly welcome and quite awesome!

I definitely agree. If memory serves correctly, only Seasons 1, 5, 7, 10, and 30 had three legs in Africa. Perhaps we could see something similar? I wonder if 4 African legs would be out of the question? Fingers crossed!

It’s hard to have 4 legs in Africa especially some of the African nations are not politically stable
Look at S11, the airport scrambling is a hot mess
Parovic:
I actually can see the race is going west to Asia first
Just like S31 I speculate South Korea and Taiwan as the top 2 contenders
Maybe there are some overdue countries in East Asia typically Mongolia
New countries in Central Asia and Eastern Europe can be expected
Brannockdevice:
I’m not sure I’m in agreement. Depending on when specifically filming will begin, we will likely see a (Northern hemisphere) winter race. As such, Mongolia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe are unlikely to be visited as winters can be brutal. Even South Korean winters can be rough (remember the ice plunge in Season 4?).
