Ep 6. Houston, We Have An Elephant

The Amazing Race Season 7 Episode 6, titled "Houston, We Have An Elephant," takes the remaining teams on a journey across Africa. The episode begins with teams departing from their previous location in Botswana and heading to a wildlife conservation area in Zambia.

Upon arriving, the teams are tasked with completing a safari obstacle course, which includes navigating through a snake pit and crossing a river on a zip line. The teams must work together and use their physical abilities to successfully complete the challenge and move on to the next leg of the race.

Following the obstacle course, the teams are given their next clue, which sends them to a nearby village where they must search for a local guide who will lead them to their next destination. The search proves to be a challenge for some teams, as language barriers and unfamiliar surroundings make it difficult to communicate with the locals.

Once the teams meet with their guide, they are taken on a hike through the African wilderness to a remote village where they must locate an elephant statue and decipher a clue directing them to their next location.

The teams must then travel to a nearby church, where they encounter a Roadblock challenge. One member of each team must don a traditional African mask and perform a tribal dance while being judged by a local dance instructor. The teams must impress the instructor with their dance skills if they hope to move on to the next challenge.

After completing the dance challenge, the teams are given their next clue, which leads them to a wildlife sanctuary where they must participate in a Conservation Detour. The teams must choose between two options: feeding and caring for orphaned elephants or working with a team of scientists to track and study wild elephants in their natural habitat.

The teams must race to complete the Conservation Detour as quickly as possible, as the first team to complete the challenge will win an advantage in the next leg of the race.

Finally, after completing the Conservation Detour, the teams are directed to the Pit Stop in Livingstone, Zambia. The team that reaches the Pit Stop first will win a prize and avoid elimination from the race, while the last team to arrive will be eliminated from the competition.

Overall, The Amazing Race Season 7 Episode 6 provides a thrilling adventure for viewers as the teams navigate the African wilderness and work to overcome challenges that test their physical and mental abilities. The episode showcases the beauty and culture of Zambia while showcasing the resilience and determination of the competing teams.
