I'm afraid not as Tanzania falls under "Rest of the World" charges as per this:

 

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-mobile-roaming-rest-of-the-world

 

So you will be charged for each calls you make, each text you send and for using mobile data when you are online so it will work out as being really expensive as the charges are:

 

£2.16 per MB (not GB)

£2.36 per minute for calls to Iocal or UK mobiles and landlines

£1.80 per minute for receieving a call.

50p per text to local or UK mobiles.

58p per picture message to UK mobile

 

So if you can I would use Wifi or pick up and use a loacl sim while out there and make sure data and roaming is off before you leave the UK.
