Two-up - no problem
Hi Tom
We rode two up all the way home from Cape Town to Cornwall - me and my best friend Maggie on Thelma (R80GS), and believe me if we could make it through the rough stuff (we did fall a lot) anyone can, especially as we can only reach the ground on tiptoes.
We didn't know about knobbly tyres, in fact we were quite ignorant about all things off-road until we found ourselves in at the deep end, but hey, we got through.
The worst road conditions are northern Ethiopia and Sudan, I would strongly recommend that you try to avoid the wet season there are many river crossings without the benefit of bridges. The rains are supposed to end in September/October, we still had flooded roads to deal with in late October/early Nov.
Good luck, you will have a ball.
