Some countries refuse to take the carnet (Mauritania) and you'll have to pay for a TIP.
Most countries have no idea what it is, and you'll have to basically do it for them and convince them it's the right thing. Friends were just forced to get a TIP in Mali, but I think it depends heavily on which border you use and who happens to be working.
What makes you think you won't make it all the way?
What's your timeline?
I'm moving down the West Coast now, pretty slow, looking to be in SA around May/June ish
