Araneidae, Eriophora sp.. At first sight it looks for me like Eriophora fuliginea, but also Ravilla and Edax have this white stripe. There is a great variability within species and age of the spider! Although I am still tending to Fuliginea, I have suggested Eriophora sp. as scientific ID.
If the belly is fiery orange, than it is Fuliginea, btw..., however, I cannot see it very clearly in your spotting.

There should be no confusion anymore!
Right picture, right link, but wrong ID (on the link) as stated below with ??
Thanks chosoowon for the attention and we are back in the land of bugs :-)
This one is Kalidasa lanata nymph, like the others.

Too tricky for me!
We had several discussions about these ones. Keith had done quite a lot of research on this, so I leave it to him, which one it actually is. There are several candidates, which look quite similar. Eunice, Leucostictos, Radamanthus. As far as I understand the whole thing, yours might be Euploea leucostictos, but I would not dare to put that for sure!

Nymphalidae, Acraeinae, Acraea sp., not really sure if yours is really Acraea horta as mentioned in my link. Acraea in Africa are extremely tricky to ID, a huge bulk of more than hundred species and also very variable within the species itself. Yours looks also a little bit older, so markings and colors may be a little bit fainted.
