Being resident in the mother city these days one gets to see the odd SAAF C47TP Turbo Dak doing runs into and out of Ysterplaat every now and then.
I was lucky enough to bag my one and only DC-3 (ok C47) flight on D-CXXX of Air Service Berlin out of Tempelhof just before it shut down
There is a splendid original SAAF C47 in the Museum hangar at Ysterplaat (parked next to an even more splendid Shackleton) which one is allowed to crawl all over on a Saturday morning

Have a look at:
DC-3 Training DC3 Type Rating SIC Instruction
There's also a DC-3 in NZ, but I don't think they do type ratings:

Looks like Lee might have some Basler DC-3s. I remember seeing a couple of Monroe County C-47s at Marathon but that was many years ago!
If I was ambitious to do really interesting flying in a DC3, I think I'd contact these chaps about whether they have any jobs going.

Not sure if they allow pax or you can fly it but TICO in Titusville, FL has a fully operational C-47. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater
M_W,
Perhaps I missed it but you didn't say what license you hold and with which you'd be doing your DC3 flying. Wouldn't that affect where you could seek training ?
There are a few organizations in the USA doing DC3 training. I'd be surprised if any company using the airplane for commercial purposes other than training would be offering seat time or type rating to the general flying public.
Good luck with your project. You'll enjoy the airplane.
