Limpopo notes on drones & gear

Polokwane has a few electronics stores and specialist sellers, but many buyers in Tzaneen, Louis Trichardt and Thohoyandou order online or drive to Pretoria.

Game farms near Vaalwater and Alldays buy camera drones with long range and good zoom. Thermal drones interest anti-poaching teams, who should ask about the rules before any night flying.

Limpopo from the air

Limpopo is a long drive from most drone suppliers, yet it has plenty of work for them. Subtropical farms around Tzaneen, Letsitele and Levubu grow avocados, mangoes, citrus and macadamias, and growers ask for spray and scouting flights. Platinum near Mokopane, coal and power stations at Lephalale and copper and phosphate at Phalaborwa bring survey and inspection jobs. Game farms in the Waterberg and around Hoedspruit want aerial footage and help with fence and water checks. Kruger, Mapungubwe and Marakele national parks are closed to drones, and the air force bases at Makhado and Hoedspruit control large areas. Heat is the daily problem: batteries and phones overheat by midday.
