yeah, I've been to the Mara in november in '18 and normally you'd expect some rains already.
It was almost as dusty as India in april and that says a lot... extremely hot as well. Last november ('20); dry and hot, but there had been some rains in october already so a bit greener. Still; loads of dust too. Good thing: the R5 did just fine! That included changing lenses which, in my opinion, can be done fine on a mirrorless, in particular if the sensor's covered when camera is off.
I visited the Serengeti for 2 weeks this pass July, and although it didn't bother me the dust was overwhelming at times and everywhere--but my R5 and my X-Pro 3 performed perfectly. I am heading back in 6 weeks for round two for the birthing season in Ndutu.
Oh and the picture of my bag shows how much dust you can expect on any given day during the dry season. .
