They were given to Belgium as compensation for German aggression against the kingdom

Although adjacent to the Congo they ended up as separate political entities eventually

Regarding Zanzibar, I realise it is now part of Tanzania but it was never part of Tanganyika, either German or British. It only joined with Tanzania after independence
