on the money! If you can't find a deal through climbto350 for a current or passed type, the only way to get a gig in Africa is to show up on it's doorstep and jam your foot in the door.
I can only speak for Kenya but as a foreigner holding an ICAO ATPL. It took me 14 days to get my local license in hand. It has taken some others with the same qualifications up to 60 days! I got lucky, the company was really short of pilots and they needed someone in a hurry. I got my initial line check after flying for over 300 hours!
I did airlaw, a few touch and go's at night and an IR ride to get my license. It is a little stickier for a commercial conversion.
good luck
