Departing from the first Pit Stop at Songwe Village and finding a clue at the city's small museum, teams found a Detour clue requiring a choice between 'Near' and 'Far' tasks. In 'Near', teams would need to travel to a nearby area to find and photograph three specific animals. In 'Far', they would need to drive a farther distance to photograph a single elephant. Regardless, once the pictures were taken, teams needed to go to Mukini Village and participate in a ceremony during which they would show their picture(s) to a tribal chief. He would then show teams that their next clue would take them to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. All of the teams participating in this leg of the race completed the 'Near' Detour and photographed three animals, but Pat and Brenda did not complete the task since they took this Leg's Fast Forward clue by white-water rafting down the Zambezi River.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 1"

Answer: The Arc de Triomphe

Once teams flew from Zambia to Johannesburg to Paris, they had to make their way to the Eiffel Tower to complete the Road Block for the Leg. This Road Block required that team members run up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower and use a five Franc coin to look through a telescope for a location marked by a flag. At this location, the Arc de Triomphe, teams could find the second Pit Stop of the race. Notably, Lenny of Lenny and Karen decided that when he couldn't find the monument, he would take a chance and go to the Notre Dame Cathedral to search instead. This fault dropped the team to ninth place, narrowly avoiding elimination. David and Margaretta also hit a hitch when David accidentally didn't complete the task correctly. They arrived at the Pit Stop in sixth, but departed in eighth after a time penalty.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 1"

Answer: Notre Dame Cathedral

In Leg 3, teams found their Detour tasks at La Grande Roue, a ferris wheel located down the street from the second Pit Stop, the Arc de Triomphe. Teams could choose between 'Tough Climb' and 'Easy Walk'. In 'Tough Climb', teams needed to go to Notre Dame Cathedral, climb all of the stairs to Quazimodo's bell tower, and ring the bell to receive their next clue. In 'Easy Walk', teams had to walk on foot to Foucault's Pendulum in the Pantheon where their clue would be waiting for them. The trick behind this is that a similar pendulum is found at the Arts and Crafts Museum in Paris. Pat and Brenda got caught in this trap and inevitably arrived at the Pit Stop in La Baux des Provence in last place. Frank and Margarita, Rob and Brennan, Joe and Bill, and Pat and Brenda all completed the 'Easy Walk' task while Nancy and Emily, Lenny and Karen, Paul and Amy, and Frank and Margaretta complete 'Tough Climb'. Kevin and Drew did not complete the Detour, instead deciding to take the Fast Forward.

Answer: Karyn

Departing from France in the beginning of Leg 4, teams made their way across the sea to Tunisia. Completing the Detour task in Tunis, teams were required to head to El Djem (as per a clue in the form of a souvenir cigarette) to the Amphitheater of Thysdrus. Once there, a Road Block required team members to take a torch and navigate the passageways and chambers of the Amphitheater where gladiators were once held in order to find a set of swords hanging over a 'bottomless' pit. Once these swords were obtained, they would need to be taken to the Pit Stop overlooking the battle area and sheathed before teams could check in. David and Margaretta were last to arrive at the Pit Stop because of taxi troubles on the way to El Djem, and because of this, they were eliminated. Because no Fast Forward was used, all teams were involved with this Road Block.
