Can I use a drone on Kilimanjaro? No, drones are illegal to use in Tanzania without a license and a special permit. Obtaining a drone permit is a complex process that requires you to first have a pilot’s license for aircraft. After this, you submit the application to the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority for approval. This can take a significant amount of time and involves considerable costs.
Given the difficulty of acquiring the necessary permits, we strongly recommend leaving your drone at home. Attempting to use a drone without proper authorization can result in severe consequences. This include fines, confiscation of the drone, and even imprisonment for both you and your guide. It’s simply not worth the risk.
