Thanks!

I have no doubt that I have to show up! But any Intel that I can get from those who have walked this trail already is helpful.

Are some places better than other? Namibia vs Botswana vs South Africa etc? So I mentioned that I am both a US and a UK citizen (I'm American but I was born in the UK to an American father and a British Mom, so UK claims me too). Would that be handy at all?

A couple of notes... It seems that most posts on here asking about Africa are from guys with 200 hours. Like I said I plan on showing up with 2000+ with a FAA SEL, SES, MEL. CFII/MEI.

Also I have been to Africa. I went to Tunisia in 2002 but that was Army related, and then I climbed Kili and Mt Kenya 4 years ago. During that trip I spent a week in Arusha and Moshi just hanging out, watching Rugby and drinking Tusker Beer and riding around in dolla dollas. Then after Mt Kenya I had 5 extra days in Nairobi. I liked that less.
