Email (or call) Helicopter Horizons in Maun. They should be able to sort you out, or at least point you in the correct direction. PM me if you need an email address. Good luck and cheers.

I'd consider coming back if they'd let me go straight into the left seat of a Van or Kodiak. Flying here is boring. In hindsight, flying in the Delta was great. I'll take a safari camp overnight...

I know of a few operators in West Papua Indonesia looking for Van and PC6 drivers. Maun had a part time King Air at one point a few years ago.

There was an FAA AME in Windhoek back in 2014. Don't know if he's still there. Best bet is to get a fresh medical before you head over.

My wife and I made it on 10000 a month. I think you could do it as a family if you lived frugally. Our rent was around 5000 a month with water. Power was another 500 or so. We still managed to eat...

Word of Caution

Just wanted to pass on my situation. I am the second, possibly the third pilot who has been forced to leave the country, work permits and appeals all denied. It seems that Immigration would like...

Oh, I forgot to add something about vaccinations. SOME of the shots are much cheaper here than in the US. I paid around $150 per rabies shot in the US and it was $39 here in Botswana.

My wife and I are headed to Maun in the next few months. Just figure I'd introduce myself since it seems like a lot of the pilot community is already on here :)
