Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm so excited to be going, and now I'm thrilled that eating gluten free should not be a problem.  Wish I could bring all back a little vial of spice as thanks!

  Summary as follows:
  
If it is like SA, then you will be able to get restaurant meals quite
easily 
as they tend to cook on site, rather than bring in half prepared foods.

The main difficulty is making sure the waiter understands you.  They
are 
usually very anxious to please and will tend to assure you everything
is OK.


   
  You probably don't have to worry because (at least in Tanzania) mostly 
English is spoken.  They grill a lot of meat in that part of the world.

Probably good to stick with cooked vegetables rather than raw and wash
your 
fruit very well, even if you're going to be peeling it.  This is
probably 
overkill, because Americans are generally healthier than the locals and
are 
less subject to cholera.  Go and enjoy your trip. Watch how the food is

prepared if you can and you should be just fine. I don't believe
language 
will be an issue for you.
