Badges, sadly it's most unlikely to happen.
Africa, as much as anywhere else in the world is awash with out of work low-houred wannabes with genuine local Commercial licences that they have slaved and grafted for. Quite apart from the practical points made by Afrijet you aren't going to be the first choice for friendly conversation at the bar of the local flying club when these genuine commercial pilots find you've taken a job that by rights they ought to be doing and gettng paid for. The local CAA will take an equally dim view of such activity, especially if done on a foreign licence.
Additionally bush flying in Africa is no place for a low houred PPL as it is often extremely demanding due to weather, field conditions, performance issues and so on.
Even the missionary people only take CPL IR 500hrs min. plus a pretty virulent dose of God.
