Now, I can show this reply to convince my wife that we don't need to bring our huge 4x4 vehicle for only two of us that motorbike is okay and we don't need to worry much.

There are loads of ride reports here and on advrider.com as well as loads of books on the subject to show your missus. Be sensible about where you camp, take local advice about dodgy areas when you are in larger towns and cities and don't ride at night. Just about all the people I've ever encountered in Africa were very friendly and often interested in our travels.
In my experience making sure your pillion is comfortable is the most important thing. A big GS* and lightweight riding gear with lots of vents and a Camelback go a long way in this respect.
