other places than maun

Mate, Maun is a $hit hole, you don't wanna go there for your first taste of africa. There are a heap of other places to go than Botswana. Eros Airport, Windhoek, Namibia is a good place to start, Swakopmund and walvis baai are also good, especially for meat bombers and aeronuts. Most of the flyingthere is done in 210s for pups, moving ontosome nice gear if yo good.
Zambia has a good wee industry going, as tourisim is just starting to pick up there, with Zim's percieved civil dismay. Once again, the 210/206 comes standard. I have heard that Zim is still going, and pilots are still sought, but havn't been there myself to have a look.
Whae ya get there, get USED to the phrase: "we'll be hiring soon, stick around, come back next week." When you get SICK of the phrase, get out.
