Zambia - generally good, although a few places are terrible (Livingstone to Shesheke for example)
Malawi - excellent, however the pedestrian and bicycle population is huge so progress is generally slow/careful. The last part of the road into Nyika Plateau (which forms the border with Zambia for some distance) is soft and fairly deep sand. Many routes have been renewed completely by the Chinese and are excellent.
Tanzania - very varied - the road from Malawi to Mbeya is good, the Great North Road good, although with sections of longitudinal corrugations (in the tar) from truck traffic. Many routes have been renewed completely by the Chinese (and a couple by the USA) and are excellent. In the west and northwest, the roads not yet renewed are fair to poor (the last 100 km to Rwanda is heavily corrugated).
