Sailing around Africa is actually quite easy to do. If you're a qualified sailor and have enough supplies, you can even do it solo in a simple 20 ft single sailed sailboat - no navigation equipment needed.
I read a story of a 16 year old girl sailing around the entire planet - totally solo. Sailing is easy.
