HF/VHF in Africa?

In Africa, is most of the communication done on HF? I heard that you can get by that by using SATCOM. Well, we have a satellite telephone in the aircraft but that is not really a replacement for the radios, right?

Our citation is not equipped with HF. Doing so would cost 50´000-60´000 USD. Are there handheld HF Receivers/Transmitters like for VHF available?

Cheers
