Namibia and other things

Regarding the rating on 210-206 some people say i should get it before flying down there, others say I shouldnt. I know i´m going to need to get checked out with an instructor but will having the rating help me get the job?

Next question: I have 1000TT with 400ME mainly on Baron (SAR operation), I talked to some people that told me to forget Namibia and go to other countrys since they are only hiering expats to fly 210/206, also he said that know the sortage of pilots in this country is not such.
Other told me to go there since there are more ME jobs.. My idea was to get into a ME after flying sometime in the 210 but a friend with more than 1600TT mainly on 210 flying in Namibia told me that even knowing lots of people he was unable to advance to a ME. With my experience, should I try or its just not worth it?

I am interested in all the southern countrys operators that fly Baron, I have a big list but I´m sure I am missing some, any help would be good.

thanks
