Burkina Faso
Do not pack without approvalSecurity-sensitive; ANAC confirmation required
Burkina Faso should be treated as approval-first. Public drone traveler guidance is sparse, and the security environment makes unsanctioned drone use a bad idea.
The trip, step by step
- Bring it
- Do not pack a drone unless import and operation approval is documented.
- Register it
- No public tourist registration portal was confirmed; contact ANAC-BF before travel.
- Fly it
- No reliable casual tourist path was confirmed. Do not fly recreationally without written authority confirmation.
- Map check
- Avoid airports, military/security sites, government locations, borders, events, crowds, and conflict-sensitive regions unless cleared.
Before you travel
- 01Get ANAC-BF written guidance or authorization.
- 02Prepare aircraft, pilot, purpose, date, route, and sponsor documents.
- 03Secure local, security, filming, or site permissions before launch.
Operating notes
- Max altitude
- Authorization-specific; do not fly without ANAC and security confirmation.
- Commercial work
- Commercial, media, survey, NGO, or mapping work needs direct ANAC and local/security coordination.
