This is a female Skimmer (Orthetrum) species, going by the single white stripe on the side of the thorax it may well be O. chrysostigma, Epaulet Skimmer. I dont know if there are any similar species in Tanzania though.

Thanks RoyW. I got confirmation from another source as well to the same species.
