I am with Ndicho Moja , Air Kenya took some beating back in the 70s , Comanches ( Single was the best ) Aztecs , Navajos and Barons ( my 2 real faves ). The variation was great , flying Film Stars one day , engineers the next ,nightstops in all the great lodges and camps ( all for free ) , Mount Kenya Safari Club and Governors Camp , Catholic Missions in the NFD , even sleeping on a campbed under the wing in places like Moyale and Mandera . Most days back in time to have beers and goss in the Aero Club or Dambusters , Friday night at the Golf Range disco , lots of rugby , golf and going to the races.
Shame it all had to end . Flew as a pax on them a few months ago down to Malindi , some of the Kenyan staff were amazed to find someone who had flown there before they were born !
I wanted to end my flying career there , but work permit not as freely available these days .

If could deliver newspapers to Zanzibar twice a week in a Spitfire for $15 000 a month I would be a very happy camper. This jet flying is for the birds. Failing that, the 350 based in Ndola would be a great job! anyone have any contact info?

Best job in Africa is a job that lets you live outside Africa but lets you fly in Africa on a regular basis. I would love a job with Zimex. Hear its great pay, great rotations and you can live anywhere.

Flying Dash 7's for Airkenya was great fun during the company's heyday. We did some good flying on those beauties. I certainly wouldn't mind doing that again...
MAF - Uganda has some of the most interesting flight routes
