Need Help: iPod Chargers & Int'l Travel

Folks,
I'll be taking a long-ish trip to South Africa in October. As such, I need some serious power to make it across the US and Atlantic with enough juice in my iPod.
Kensington makes a nice looking battery back-up, but it $70 and I'm pretty skeptical of 100 hours of playback.
Most of the chargers I've seen are fine on 120V or 240V, however South Africa uses an oddball type M plug. Most of the adapter kits I've seen don't support the South African pattern.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Wes
