I just heard back from an email I sent to an air operator in Maun.
he said the companies are looking for 500 hrs and a type rating on a Cessna 206. My ICAO commercial pilot license says anything under 12,500 gross and non high performance doesn't need to be on type.
I did a check ride on a piper chieftain 350 in 2002, I didn't even need it because a chieftain is not considered high performance, plus it is single pilot IFR, however under n house company rules it was used as a two crew part freight and charter aircraft.
So I replied saying I don't know how to get an endorsement on my license for a 206 when there is no such thing??
I don't understand why the botswanian government would make it more difficult for ex pats to land a flying job, except for that there are too many foreign pilots invading their country.
It doesn't look like Maun is feasible for me since I have only 50 + hrs on type on a 172, the rest are all a mix of multi ifr and single engine piper Pa 28.
