One thing that I have only mentioned in passing is snacks. This subject is so important in North Africa that it deserves more than a Camping Tip. When you are on a bush camp or desert camp or any camp with less than a market nearby (which is most days before Kenya) the only way to get a sugary snack is to bring it with you. TDA provides heaps of really good food - but none of it is a snack. And if you are big and hungry there can be a long time between your bowls of soup and dinner. The thing to do is to find a good supermarket (not so super outside the capital cities) and buy ten times as much as you think that you can eat. I pretty rarely eat chocolate at home, but over here, all bets are off (Africa == Drunkeness). The picture is what I would consider an adequate supply for a normal six day gap between towns.
Pro tip: form a group of people to swap snacks with. Variety is the spice of life.
I hope Cikilop tastes as good as it's name.
