Apologies again to the Misners for muscling in .....
Ah ha!
That will be no problem at all - if you are stopping over at the last port before Africa then you just 'forget' to take the last flight, which of course might far in the future.
However if your ticket has you transiting that last port then you might have an issue with getting your checked baggage tagged to where you want it, rather than tagged through to your African destination.
If ending in Europe, then I suggest you price out what each option for the final segment will cost you and choose the least expensive. For example flying BA out of LHR will likely incur BA's hefty fuel surcharge and also the UK government APD tax - so it might be better to choose an IB segment out of MAD
