If you are looking to make money, I'm not sure sub-Saharan Africa is the best place to be looking. But if you are looking for teaching/living experiences that may well change the rest of your life; this is the continent for you.

I spent 9 years teaching in Africa in 3 different countries. I have grown to love Africa in a completely irrational way. If the bug gets you, you are hooked.

I taught in Botwsana for 5 brilliant years. I also worked as an In-service bod for two years in rural Kwa-Zulu primary schools. Again, a fantastic time.

I would really look into the VSO thing, that was my introduction back in 1984.

However if you don't fancy that, the Maru-a-*** School in Gabarone is definitely worth a look

Somebody ought to start a thread entitled, "Teaching in Africa - where to stop?" Mrs Hippopotamus and I have taught in quite a few places now, but for some strange the reason the one we really miss and the one we talk about the most was our first international school in Kenya, the B___a. The weird thing about this particular school was that quite a few members of the teaching staff used to leave and maybe go back to the UK, but then a few years later they would come back to the school! I cannot remember any other school anywhere else in the world where this happened. Yes, all the bad things you have heard about teaching in Africa are usually true as well, but for some strange reason you just love it.
