africa

I did a lot of research into Bots about 6months ago when I was looking to change jobs. Needless to say I've forgotten most of it, however, the lasting impression of guys who had experienced Maun was that it was the 'time of their life' 'best decision ever' etc etc.
I know that if I had my time again, I'd be over there instead of going to a NZ single operator. The world of aviation is much bigger and sometimes better than NZ and the best time to experience some awesome flying and interesting cultures etc is at the start of a career. I did my first 1000hrs within NZ and although the flying was second to none, I'd rather have been in africa.
Get a C206 rating and go mate. Couple grundy in the back pocket and a tent.
Do your research though, and everyone knows that if a guy turns up on your door step from half a world away, type rated to fly your planes and presents himself/herself as a good c@#t, you'll be impressed.
Or as the guys above say, Straya aint too bad either
