I have just seen a 707 depart from HTDA Dar es Salaam that has the tail painted with the Boeing colors. Any idea of who the plane belongs to?

Obviously 707 instead of 777 painted on it.

Official airplane of Democratic Republic of Congo
Today, the Democratic Republic of Congo uses a B707-138B, registered 9Q-CLK: LK for Laurent Kabila.
Laurent Kabila has been Congo's President until his assassination (he was succeeded by his son).
This is an airplane with a long history (and some controversy). She has now 707
painted on the tail, but not the Boeing
markings. Thanks to our friends at Airliners.net several pictures are available:

Once this a/c had no logo at all, here in 2008:

On Youtube too: B707 9Q-CLK .
Qantas in the past
Back in 1959 when it entered service at Qantas as VH-EBG, the first B707 with a 5th engine in a pod-pak:
