Photography Tips
When flying a drone in Tanzania, you need to acquire a local agency to obtain a license / permit to actually fly. Sometimes, they provide you a drone.
Have a look with the direction of the sun. When it's at the right position, you will often find it creating a beautiful triangle shaped shadow.

Travel Information
The hike starts at Saddle Hut (3,570 m) and takes around 1–2 hours return. It is often done as an acclimatisation walk during the Mount Meru trek, particularly for sunset views.
Generally, this is a very restricted area to hike in and you need to get permits upfront to access the whole hike up to Mount Meru.
