Jeep Liberty, second generation Izuzu Trooper, Range Rover. There's a ton of others (the VW Tuareg or the Toyota Tacoma for example), but there's also another consieration: getting parts to fix the vehicle when it breaks. In that part of the world easiest access is (so far as I know, I may be wrong and/or out of date) vintage Jeep or Land Rover.
Just as a note, I'm not planning on actually doing this myself.
It wold be interesting, though. I intend to make a proper trip to west Africa at some point (though it sadly doesn't seem practical right now). My primary goal would be wildlife viewing of course; Namibia, Botswana, that sort of thing. One day in the not too distant future, provided that part of the world doesn't go utterly mad.
I was poking around a little trying to verify that I wasn't giving you crap information (large grain of salt, por favor, I'm extrapolating from my limited experience) and I found this (http://www.sahara-overland.com/). *drools* Damn. If I suddenly vanish from the internet you know where I've gone.
