I would say, get the jabs, including one for tetanus. Also take the malaria pills starting in good time (if malaria is a possibility). I've never been in any of those places.
Water and uncooked vegetables washed in water are risky in Asia, but not so much in Africa. I always drank the tap water and it never did me in. However I might have been lucky. Home and restaurant cooking won't hurt you unless you are very fragile indeed, but it is worth being picky with street food. Locals will advise you and see you all right.
Oh, and don't imagine you are less likely to be poisoned in a five star hotel than in some humble establishment. More likely if anything.
