Midfielder Phiona Nabbumba handed them a priceless lead on 48 minutes off a Juliet Nalukenge pass but they could not hold on to it.
Diana Mswea equalized for Tanzania on 59 minutes before Clement Opa completed the turn around to hand the visitors victory.
Tanzania progresses to the next round of qualification with a 4-2 aggregate victory.
