Drones are illegal to use in Tanzania without a license and special permit.  In order to get a drone permit, the drone operator needs to have a pilot’s license for aircraft. Once that happens, the request is sent to the defense department for approval. We recommend, due to the cost and length of time it takes to get a drone permit, to just leave yours at home. If you choose to take one anyway and get caught, you and your guide can end up in jail.
