I would not recommend buying a bike in Africa ... not with EU so close by.
Buy in the UK and ride down. That's what I did. Easy peasy. As mentioned, for some countries you need a Carnet (lots of info on that here on HU)
Best used bike deals are probably in the UK, but Germany good if your German is passable. Most bikes you would find in Africa that would be suitable for travel would probably be from USA of EU anyway, so hard to re-regesiter/transfer over to your name. Without title in your name, tough to pass borders.
Best get a bike in UK, get it registered in your name. Sell off in S. Africa or somewhere along the way ... or store there for future travels.
You can even buy an Enfield in UK.  Buy something tough and reliable.
What is your budget?
Suerte!
