Jeannie, in motorcycling parlance you suffer from "duck's disease".
My recommended option would be to avoid offroaders. I'm 180cm and find most offroad bikes - even 250s - too tall for me.
You really don't need an offroad bike to travel through Africa. I did it, including 3,000km straight sand across the Sahara, on a 350cc road bike 30+ years ago - something which to this day I have other international riders tell me was impossible.
Two years back I travelled from Korea to Italy on a scooter which included 2,000kms+ of offroad in Russia and Kazakhstan.... and on that same journey I travelled 8,000kms around China and Mongolia on a little Chinese 125cc road bike.
To me offroad bikes are like 4 wheel drive cars, they might look macho but they sure aren't necessary.
