Weather (ITCZ) flying

The company I work with entrusted me with the planning stages of possible flight to central africa with a possibility of further flights to JNB.

I have ample information about ATC and inflight broadcasts. In that area I am covered.

As we never operated there can I please have some information on the type of weather to expect over Africa with emphasis on the ITCZ. Are the thunderstorms isolated or one can expect squall lines most of the time?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching the net (all I found is mostly theory)but I think that there is nothing better then first hand experiences.

Thanks to all in advance.
