Bob
when I lived down that way - this was the best book and I believe it still is 
(and it's been updated):
Birds of Southern Africa
Ian Sinclair, Phil Hockey, & Warwick Tarboton
Illustrated by Peter Hayman and Norman ArlottIt covers the whole area except 
Zambia but there are only a couple of additional species in southern Zambia - 
such as Black-cheeked Lovebird.
You could go for:
Birds of Africa South of the Sahara: Second Edition also by Sinclair.  But that 
will have 100s of species that you won't see - so it could be confusing. I've 
used the first suggestion in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana etc. 
without any problems.
cheers
