....prior to WWI.

Britain desired German Tanganyika to link its African colonies from the Cape to Cairo in a contiguous territorial block. Once WWI started, British officials started to call it a desirable acquisition in late 1914 or early 1915, and ultimately Britain conquered the territory and received a mandate over it post war. The territory had a perceived strategic value for the British Empire, even though the vision of an actual Cape-to-Cairo railroad was never realized.

Prior to the outbreak of WWI, if either the Germans or the British broached the subject of Germany ceding Tanganyika to Britain as part of a territorial exchange, was there any British territory that was sufficiently dispensable to Britain, for Britain to offer it to Germany in exchange. Would any of the territories Britain might have considered offering been considered sufficiently valuable for the Germans to say yes to a swap?
