whats the best month to travel through east africa? i hate extremely hot weather but i also hate being caught?

in thunderstorms and cloudy skies..
can anyone advise? thanks!

the best months to travel in most parts of africa is usually winter time in europe, that is november, december, january and february, the weather is usually mild and a bit cool in the eastern part of africa

going by your other question, if you are planning on going to Zambia, then I would say August-September, the weather there isn't that bad (maybe around the 30 mark), October/November it gets really hot- 40 plus, then after that is the rain season.
