Thanks for the info guys! 40-50 Pula works out to around $7800 CDN/USD. I can definitely understand why they do it with the sponsorship and license conversion, but I guess it'll take some getting used too especially since in Canada most places don't bond you for almost any Turbo Prop let alone a 206.
Thanks again.
P.S. Does anyone have any insight in to what Sefofane and other operators pay and what type of housing is available when in Botswana and Namibia?
