Africa South to North - when?

Hi.
I'm in South Africa after coming down the west coast, and am planning now on returning up east coast and hopefully across north to Tunisia. Are there any suggestions out there as to when is the best time to do this? Finding it difficult to get info. If I can be pointed towards similar thread would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Monthly averages for temperature and precipitation (both mm and rain days) for most countries, and sometimes at the city level.

It kind of depends what you want to achieve and which countries you want to visit.

Botswana, Namibia and South Africa are OK in the wet season. Zambia is not. Malawi is OK. So I would suggest not reaching Zambia before the end of May. The rest will pretty much work itself out from there.
