I would avoid Ethiopian Airlines at all costs. I flew them in July of this year. Flight from ORD to Addis was delayed due to slow boarding by the ground crew. While airborne I checked with the Chief Flight Attendant about my concern about missing my connection flight to Windhoek. She assured me they’d hold the flight for us. She lied- it was long gone when we landed. I was forced to spend a whole day in a fleabag hotel in Addis, watching Muslim women begging all around the hotel. As a result of having missed my flight, I had to fly the next day to Joberg then connect to Windhoek. My flight arrived in Windhoek at 8:00 PM, a day and a half late. The Addis airport is a snakepit- long lines, no air conditioning and surly security staff.

I’ve been researching flights to Biera, Moz from DFW with the intent to skip Joburg. Both Qatar and Emirates fly into Harare and there are reasonably priced flights from HRE to Biera ($300-325 round trip), don’t know about other airports in Moz. Seems viable to me but haven’t researched the whole firearm transfer issue and that might well make it a no-go.
