Weather and climate in Cameroon
Bring a sweater if you’re going to higher elevations, where it can be cool – temperatures in the 50s F/10-15 C, or even colder, are not uncommon in the highlands.It is difficult to commen on the visiting time to this country because of Cameroon’s varied topography. Prefer December-March, because that period is generally the driest nationwide and most of the game parks are open (some are closed April-November). The rainy months of April and May set the stage for the high humidity and soaring temperatures in June and July. The humidity and heat are joined by yet more rain in August and September. When we were last in Douala in October, it was still raining every night (though days were clear). The rains inevitably taper off in November.

Weather and climate
The best time to visit the highlands (Addis Ababa) is October-June. From July-September, it's hotter by about 10 F/5 C and can rain in strong (though infrequent) downpours (called "the big rains"). Around Addis, it can also rain a bit February-June ("the little rains"). Temperatures range 77-59 F/25-15 C. Because of the elevation of most of the country, it's advisable to bring a sweater year-round.
Weather and Climate in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is south of the equator, so the seasons are reversed from those in the Northern Hemisphere - winter in New York is summer in Harare. But seasons aren't extreme - overall, the climate is very similar to that of southern California. Because of the elevation (averaging 3,000 ft/915 m), it rarely gets above 90 F/33 C or lower than about 45 F/7 C. The best time to go is a matter of splitting the difference between comfort and optimum game viewing. The weather is most comfortable just after the rainy season, in May and June,
Zambia : Weather and Climate
Temperatures are generally moderate, except in October, when it can become stiflingly hot. August and September are best for walking safaris: As the land dries out, the grass has been grazed down and the animals congregate in herds around water holes - you see them in larger groups, with several species in one vicinity. After the rains, the animals disperse among the tall, thick foliage and are harder to spot. The rainy season (November-April) isn't that bad - the wildflowers are beautiful at that time - but sometimes there's too much mud, and game viewing is
