By the way, if at worse you run out of luck in Maun (or maybe your are a complete DumAss and manage to get fired from a company before even managing to get in...) you can still Head to the West... (I personaly did Hitchike from Ghanzi...but you can also choose plane, or bus...)
Even if Namibia had a dramatic accident history for the past 18 months, they also do Look for pilots (but not as a "hiring season" as in Maun...its much more random, but do work the same way...show up your face, get into a Backpacker, visit, have some beers, and try again with the Boss or Chief pilot!...or maybe first try again, and then have some beers...interviews with a booze breath won't help you much...).
Life in Windhoek is different than in Maun, but very very fun and bush style also...Life in Swakop is much closer to what you would get in Bots (...except the bloody fog that keeps everyone at the bar....what a shame...
)
Oh, I forgot, you could also bring some documents as International Driving License, and Vaccination card, that might be helpfull sometimes..
Good Luck
