As others have said you should consider around a 2"/50mm lift - it doesn't matter if you go down the East or West coast of Africa you will appreciate the extra clearance.
As JoJo says, avoid the wheel spacers - these will be fine for driving around locally and if you are in a position to check and tighten up the wheel bearings on a regular basis, however for the sort of trip that you are planning it just isn't worth it - just make sure that you keep most of the weight low down and between the wheels - that's the cheapest way of maintaining stability.
Looking at one of the ranges we sell you can get heavy duty springs that will give you zero lift on the front and around 10mm on the back or you can go for the raised height heavy duty springs providing 35mm lift at the front (assuming winch and winch bar) and 40-45mm lift on the back.
