Do it! But here are a couple of tips.
Always travel with a half a roll of toilet paper in a small ziplock. Wipe disinfectants, not hand spray. Old closed toed shoes for markets, especially if the country has a lot of dogs roaming around. West Africa does not. Leave them at the end of the trip. Keep some clothes at home, those that you say you will never wear again and to bring to a trip like this, that you also plan to leave. Sometimes you keep getting them back, right Megan? I still have those white shorts. I love the narrow or cuffed pants so nothing drags on the ground.
