you will have a great holiday even if you have no luck with the job. My advice is just go and do it, it takes balls but ''sorry for that'' quite a few guys out there all year round in the same boat as you will be in, also loads of backpackers to meet who just want a good time(use very strong protection this is the home of aids). You will not die if you stick to the bigger operators who deal with tourists, your pax are paying loads of money and expect good aircraft. face fitting in and being in the right place at the right time counts for everything so go now and if they like you and there is space you're in. The majority of recruiting takes place just after xmas.
i visited windhoek and swakop also, would have loved a job in windhoek but not in swakop. if you want to work you must visit the offices. it took 3 months to get the job and a lot of miles. Any information you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. If I'm keen, and pop round to see as many operators as I can while I'm over there (late April), will someone be interested? What are my chances for getting an interview with the above mentioned companies? Will I be too late, and end up hanging around for months? I read on a couple of threads that most guys get hired around Jan-Feb. I am planning on heading over to Namibia or Botswana in late April to try and get an interview. I have just over 300 hours, including some time meat-bombing. I have an Australian CPL, Instrument Rating (Multi-engine), and Frozen ATPL. prospective promotion and upgrades onto multi-engine.ģ.
Which of these companies is the best to get into? with regards to:Ģ.
I understand the pay will not be great, but I will have lots of great experiences. I want to rough it for a couple of years to "do my time" for some real character-building. I am keen for an adventure, and realise that at some times it will be tough. It appears that all of them have a really well-balanced fleet, with lots of singles down the bottom, and then twins and turbines further up. My first question is to current or past pilots of those companies: Sefofane, Wings over Africa, West Air, Scenic Air etc.) I've done some research on the net and have been searching these forums, and I'm very keen on flying for one of the companies mentioned previously on this thread in Namibia or Botswana. This looks like the best place to post these questions and queries of mine.

Swakopmund,Coastal Town,Namibia(AWESOME place!)ġ.Pleasure Flights& Safaris(Speak to Mr.Goebel,owner)Ģ.Scenic Air (Mrs.van Niekerk,manageress)Īnd most importantly,great flying,when you leave this country you will have stayed in the most awesome lodges,gone on game-drives,eaten good food,unforgettable experience and you will probably know how to fly a C210! These are the best ones there,you will fly C206,Britan Norman Islander and probably C208.Great place where you can live well although very African.7 out of 10 rating from my sideĦ.West Air (take mostly Namibian citizens,try anyway) If u are still keen on going for it then try the following companies,I have worked for two and the one's I'm suggesting are the ones with quite reputations in all aspects.A good first job in Africa can be very exciting and satisfying although the money is not always great,but hey I survived it and always had money for food,accommodation and most importantly beer after work! Some of the above facts are true about some operators in Africa although not all.
