With both the Caravan and King Air you might want to ty Solenta, out of S Africa but with operations in many parts of the continent. They fly the Caravan on a number of contracts, including the Red Cross and DHL. Trackmark is another C208 operation that you might want to try.

Heather Stuart owns the place, below are their details:

One note, there are always a number of pilots who show up in Africa on their own accord, so you will likely find that simply applying will not get you anywhere. If you can't just go without a job in hand (and I understand where you are coming from here but it's not the optimum way to do this), best that you do as much phoning around as possible; you might get lucky.

If you had a friend there you might be able to get a job without showing up, or at least hassling everybody. I recon at this juncture there are still a number of people who either show up or are connected, but with your ratings, and I assume one of your languages is French, you'll be fine. Just bug them.

Good luck, let me know how it goes. Here are a couple more African C208/King Air operations:
