Need a new camera - traveling to Africa?

I am looking to purchase a new camera.

I already have a nikon cool pics camera, and i do love it, but I think I am in need of something more for my trip to Africa. I am looking to stay under $250.00 - Can you please suggest any?

Also remember I take a lot of shots at a race track, so I need something that is good for night pics and great zoom. If anyone can give me some suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Pros/Cons are welcome.
