'4,000 Miles, Seven Countries: An African Adventure on Two Wheels'
A 10-week cycling trip from Morocco to Ghana takes riders on a rough ribbon of road through West Africa, a region better known for strife than tourism.

from reading and following adventurers I'd say You can do it for $1000, excluding the initial flight to destination.

Ugh, paywall.
Well, considering the bulk of sub-Saharan Africa manages on $3 a day, I'd say $250 should cover it?
Kidding aside, $13k sounds like a LOT for a 72 day tour, even if it were in America.
