Where in Africa is this job... Africa is a very Large land mass... Have a couple of folks from Africa flying with us and they have flown the Continent on various contracts... If we know "where" they may be able to give you some valuable insight...

Good Luck...

This ^^^
There are some good places in Africa and many bad places and even some atrocious places where human life has no value.
Unless you’re well versed in the lokale you’ve got no business going to 80% of the continent.

Like they all say where in Africa are you planning on doing this flying? I spent 10 years on the West Coast, good times but your on your own out there, get paid in advance if you can and always keep 3 exits open!!!

My advise just me sure you have enough money to cover "landing fees". Almost ended up in a Kenyan jail for not having any bribe money.
I have worked overseas for 20 years on power plants, and agree that you should always have enough “grease” in your wallet to make things go smoother.
