Hi mwanzanese,
Licence in hand meaning that we have to be holding a Tanz~ licence?
I've heard rumours of having to have 1000 hours before they will validate your licence? Is this true? Or is that only for Zambia.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, etc. are all different countries, with different CAAs with different rules.
I'm not sure what the rules are for Tanzania, as I am licensed in Kenya.
Validation and Conversion are two different things. Validation is where the CAA lets you fly on your home country license, typically for a limited time period. Conversion is where they use your home country license to give you a full new license from the respective CAA. Conversion is much more difficult, time consuming, and costly, typically. Some places will not do, or strongly prefer not to do a Validation.
In my experience, a Validation will work on an airplane that is not licensed in the country you are flying in (I had a Kenya Validation to fly a plane licensed in Sao Tome). A Conversion is needed to fly a native plane (I got a Kenya Conversion to fly a plane licensed in Kenya).
You will need a license, medical, radio license, and an instrument check to get a full Conversion to the new country's license. Converting an ATP is much better than converting a CPL, at least in Kenya.

Shame
My brother,
it is difficult to leave a current caravan job to go all the way to africa to "look" for a job. I am a caravan captain with over 5000hrs and am very much interested in looking for a job somewhere else to get to know another part of the world.
Any inputs? Any other advice other than having to go all the way over there?
