Mountain Bike Touring

I'm a roadie tourer used to smooth pavement who will switch to rigid frame mountain bike hybrid with panniers to tour mostly dirt trails of tropical Africa. Need help estimating distances. Recognizing that conditions can vary dramatically, what's average daily distance travelled likely to be?
