Work in Tanzania

We are looking to emigrate to Tanzania, but are struggling to find info on how to do this - eg. finding work / setting up a business, what the conditions are to apply for a resident’s visa etc. – and not to mention the whole issue of buying / leasing land. I've read that as a foreigner you must invest $300,000 - but is that in a business or is it okay to invest this amount in a house?
I am very keen to hear from expats in Tanzania and those who have emigrated to Tanzania from the UK -but welcome info from anyone else who knows or can put me in touch with the right people!!

If you are coming to work in Tanzania it is not necesary to have that amount of money
