Winch
I think using a winch in the desert is a bonus. the east of Africa definitely has some spots where you will need that winch. Especially if you are in one of the rainy seasons.
Bury the spare tyre angled away from the truck with the winch cable or plasma rope looped around the bottom of the rim. its a fast way to get a bottomed out 4x4 out of the sand. beats digging any day. Also using the sand ladders at the same time will get you out in no time.
my 2 cents
good luck
