Botswana Bush Pilots!

[Guest Bush Pilots]

Hello everyone,

 

RDF Television are making a documentary series for UK TV about the men and women flying small planes in southern Africa. We’ll be following the lives of these courageous pilots as they ferry passengers and cargo around the Okavango Delta and Kalahari Desert, and as they try to live a normal life in a part of the world which is anything but!

 

 

Young pilots head to Botswana from all over the world to take on possibly the toughest job they’ll ever do. This is real hands and feet flying and pilots here have to contend with wildlife on the airstrips, rapidly changing weather, and tough, busy schedules as they quickly clock up flying hours in some of the most amazing scenery in the world.

 

 

The only way to get a job in Botswana is to turn up and try your luck. You can’t apply for jobs by email or phone, you have to roll up to have a chance. Each year a huge crowd of pilots from every corner of the globe camp out in the hope that this year they might just land the dream job of becoming a bush pilot.

 

 

We’re looking for English speaking pilots who are planning on heading to Botswana this year... if you’re thinking of going this year, or early next year, please drop us a line on +44 117 970 7656 or email us: [email protected].

 

Also, if you know of someone who's going, please do pass on our details, we'd love to hear from them.

 

Thanks for you time and best wishes.

 

The Bush Pilots Team
