Mahikeng notes on drone services
Public works teams ask for mapping of new roads and housing in Mmabatho and Lomanyaneng, and farmers near Ottoshoop and Zeerust want crop and fence surveys. Wildlife filming in the Mahikeng Game Reserve needs permission from the reserve. Ask the operator whether they have worked for government before and whether their quote includes travel from Gauteng.
Mahikeng from the air
Mahikeng and Mmabatho form the seat of the North West provincial government, so a fair share of drone work comes from public projects: mapping roads, housing and municipal land. Maize and cattle farms around Lichtenburg and Zeerust ask for crop and stock surveys, and the Mahikeng Game Reserve draws wildlife and tourism filming, which needs permission. Summer thunderstorms build quickly on the flat bushveld plain, with lightning and strong gusts, while winter days are dry, clear and cold. Mahikeng Airport lies close to town, so check airspace before flying. Few specialists live here, so many operators drive in from Gauteng or Rustenburg.
