Dear Helen,
Having spent many years involved in mapping/GIS in Tanzania, accessing paper copies of detailed maps is a real problem. The official map producers and publishers are the Surveys & Mapping Division in Dar es Salaam. However many 1:50k and 1:10k maps are either well out of date or out of print, large scale sheets for some of the major cities at 1:2500 can only be bought in their Dar maps office.
I can e-mail a digital version (off-list) of the 1:50,000 index if you wish.
Try these options:
OMNIMAP at:
http://www.omnimap.com/
Click on International Maps and underTanzania you will also find a number index for 1:50k and 1:250k. Some sheets are offered as paper copies others scanned duplicates
