You're not going to find these things in normal commercial service on major airlines or most countries' flag carriers, if that's what you're looking for.
True, in fact have heard there's a DC-3 flying scheduled services to the islands off the Tanzanian Coast. But, since i'm MAA based, Asia is a closer hop for me and also sees me in the region for work more often than say Africa, hence the search for classics in Asia...
