The area you're referring to is generally known as the African savanna or open woodland, dominated by various grass species and Acacia trees. It stretches in a band from southern Kenya in East Africa south-southeasterly through Tanzania, Zambia, and Angola to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and the northern parts of South Africa. The eqautorial forests of West Africa actually has a greater faunal diversity than the savanna, but it's harder to see the animals and to travel there over land. The savanna, with it's grass, tend to support monospecies communities great in number, such as blue wildebeest (Chonochaetes gnu) and Burcell's zebra (Equus zebra burchellii). Where there is greater density of trees species diversity tend to increase with woodland specialists, such as African elephants (Loxodonta africana), leopards (Panthera pardus) and giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) being key species as well as greater diversity in small antelope species, monkeys, viverrids (mongooses, genets, civets, honey badgers etc.) and, of course, birds. Lions (Panthera leo) and cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) tend to avoid dense woodlands. Animal numbers also tend to be high in savanna, due to the general absence of intensive, commercial agriculture. In northern Kenya, for example, where there is a lot more agriculture going on, there is little wildlife. African people in most of these areas also don't fence in tracts of land (a trait of European origin) so animals can move more freely.
Open savanna, such as in the Serengeti (Tanzania), as well as dry savanna, such as in Etosha (Namibia) and the Kalahari (Botswana and South Africa) are generally more popular for game viewing, due to better visibility. Those in the know, however, proclaim Moremi, in Botwana as the best wildlife experience on the planet... and I tend to agree.
Typical savanna weather has a wet season (shorter) and a dry season (longer). The time of these vary according to lattitude. Best time to visit is at the start of the dry season - vegetation not completely destroyed by wildebeest (North) or elephants (South) yet but most of the malaria threat (towards the end of the wet season) has already passed. I would suggest to contact park authorities in the area you want to travel to find out when what season is. In the South the wet season is from about December to March, with a Malaria peak in March. Best to avoid Malaria and/or be well prepared - I had it, and it's no fun and games!!
