Man that is alot of stuff but i suppose you need it all if you think about it. I havent done any massive touring trips yet, biggest i have done was 2weeks and 2kmiles. But i would plan on taking that same sort of stuff you have there when i finally get to go to africa. 1 thing that springs to mind is metal repairer or what ever you call it will defo need to bring some of that.
