In that case take an old one that you can throw away because I don't think you'll need it.
On the other hand, you might want to consider taking extra water. Hopefully the weather will be a fairly warm 24ºC to 28ºC, but it can get much hotter in May. I start each day drinking half a litre of water before setting off in the morning and travel with a 3-litre Kriega hydration backpack. In remote areas I add two 1.5-litre plastic bottles of water in the panniers.
Don't pay much attention to nay sayers. Any bike will do, this is what I used on my first trip to Africa in 1972.
