My boss got his start working for a Danish shipping company. Shipping companies tend to be quite large, so this may be a good way in.

Anyway, my boss's job was to travel ahead of the ships, from port to port, taking care of the paperwork (and bribes) in advance. I'm sure he saw a lot of Africa.

yes, try Maersk or an oil company. I think this might be the wrong forum for this type of thing. You really should use the career advising network among your school's alumni community.
