The main rainfall season in southern Africa is November to March, with the western parts (Botswana, Namibia) having more rain in March and less in November and the eastern parts of South Africa the opposite.
The wettest season in East Africa (middle of Tanzania, Kenya) is March, April, May (called the Long Rains).
In July to September the rains are over Ethiopia. East Africa + southern Africa is driest then.
Note also that the SW Cape (Cape Town + 300 km east and north) have winter rains (May to Sept) and are dry for the rest of the year. Capetown is the old colonial way of spelling Cape Town - not much used these days except, I noticed, on the British Airways in flight magazine maps....
Have a good trip.
