Lots of stuff unrun there, i am sure.  Problem is, there are legit reasons for that - roads are bad or there aren't roads, political instability, health concerns etc.  I am thinking of the DRC in particular (had a friend on Fullbright who went there to study fish and brought back pics of rapids way the hell out in the boondocks, he also had the US embassy tell him he was on his own out there), but also there were rivers in SE Senegal I saw when I was there that probably hadn't been run.  There is a strip of mountainous hills around there and Guinea-Conakry which are the headwaters for the Senegal River where I bet you could find unrun stuff. Cameroon is mountainous, should be rivers there (and ebola), etc.  Hard to predict/find good flows I bet......
Just casually poking around on the net I found these pics lifeincameroon.blogspot.com/2006/12/waterfalls.html

Whatever you chose would be epic for sure.  I heard that Epicocity was doing something in Africa recently, but not sure what - perhaps in the DRC?
