If you are planning on travel you should know that there are literally hundreds of languages between the regional, tribal and Urban language centers. There are many areas where European influence has played a major role in language development (french, English, German...) so you if you already know one of these languages you might be able to get by. ie Cameroon-French, Kenya-English, South Africa (Afrikaans)- German.

- Language (Region) Greeting / Response-

Kimeru (Kenya) - Muga / Muga Mono

Zulu (SE Africa) - "Saubona," which is literally "good morning."
