I would get a budget laptop with a big hard drive or perhaps an external drive (if you're up for lugging it around).
Can you edit from the camera? I bet if you cut out useless stuff every evening or so it would really cut down on space usage.
Enjoy that trip!

This is my worry... that African net speeds will be so slow I can't use an FTP or something, which is probably ideal.
Though really, I'll only need to do this transfer like 3-4 times... and the main cities I'm in
should have hi-speed (CapeTown, Zanzibar, Cairo).
