Hello all, I recently received my commercial license but only have approx. 300 hours, 175 of those hours are in the bush in Guyana South America.
Have found my calling and would give my left, ahhhhh, leg to fly bush in Africa. Whats my chances?? Advise on finding employment.

I've done all my training and flying in South Africa and Namibia.. I'm not sure what the scene is like there, very variable I guess, but Maun in Botswana is the default place to go.. Unfortunately there is no substitute for going there in person with a load of CVs and just trying your luck.. It's a reasonable place to be stuck in, but you definitely won't be alone when it comes to looking for jobs there..

Lusaka in Zambia according to a friend has a decent scene as well and is a comfortable place to live..
