Hello Capster,

I spent one whole year flying in Chad (yes that’s right, one whole year

) and survived. It really depends on your company. I worked there with good people who took good care of me, so I had good food, internet and all that is required to have a good time.
You can PM or post and let me know who you will work there with, i might be able to fill you in a bit better, there are not many people flying there.

Malaria: 3 months a year (July, august, sept), not all that bad, its a dry area year round.
Water: do not drink the tap water , bottle water only
Electricity: need a generator.
Internet: That really depends on your company; local internet cafes are available if you have none at home.
Cell phones: very good network can be very expense to call SA or other countries.
Braai meat: go see the butcher at the bistrot; he will hook you up with great meat, no problem there!
POLITICS: like every other African country, s.

Feel free to let me know if you need any extra info.
