Tanzania's official Tourist Board gives a condensed glimpse of the country's history, climate, culture, religion, and nature. A drop-down menu links site visitors to logistical travel information. Once travelers have arrived, they will discover the nation that harbors Mt. Kilimanjaro also has safaris, snorkeling, diving, and fishing, the site says.
Long considered the most politically stable and affluent of East African countries, President Jakaya Kikwete is committed to promoting Tanzania as a travel destination. Monday, he announced a 2008 summit titled "Tourism and Infrastructure Development." He hopes about 4,000 people will attend from neighboring countries as well as wealthy North Americans of African descent. The conference is a joint effort of former U.N. members and government officials.

When last we saw our racers, they were wrangling rats in Maputo, Mozambique. Ian made the mandatory "You dirty rat" joke, and Uchenna and Joyce breathed a sigh of relief when they were spared elimination. After dropping behind during an excruciatingly boring coal-toting detour, the couple has to come in first--they're marked for elimination. With heaps of airline drama, lots of catty whining, loads of Oswald and Danny zingers, this week was a winner. So who gets sent home?

USA Today asked conservationists and environmentalists just which world attractions were most in danger of disappearing. Number one on the list is Mt. Kilimanjaro, which has just 20% of the glaciers it had 100 years ago. Blame higher temperatures and less rainfall for the setback: scientists think that the glaciers will be completely gone in a decade or two.
