Hi guys, when I rode down from Ldn along the west coast in 2014 I just went to the borders for most countries and got the visa.
Most borders we were able to get visas even in Angola after being denied a visa at the Angolan embassy in Kinshasa.
Nigeria I got turned away and had to go to the embassy in Benin.
Depending on what passport you travelling, Benin, Nigeria, Angola and DRC visas should be obtained before getting to the borders.
Ghana visa can be bought at the border but it is only a 24hr transit visa and Ghana is about 1500km riding so I advise getting before hand.
Morocco & Mauritania visa for SA passport a must !
But remember, this is Africa and things change over night.
If you meet other travelers traveling in opposite direction swap info 
Message if you guys need to know more
Safe travels.
