“Drone technology is not just about flying — it’s about creating sustainable careers and better data for national development.” — Inspired by OpenStreetMap Uganda’s vision
WHO WE ARE

We turn aerial data into clarity and opportunity.

DroneIt is Uganda’s premier provider of professional drone services and capacity-building programs. We operate in full compliance with the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) and work hand-in-hand with OpenStreetMap Uganda to democratize geospatial technology.

Our team combines certified drone pilots, photogrammetry experts, GIS specialists and passionate trainers who have delivered projects from luxury hospitality virtual tours to large-scale agricultural mapping and university training programs.

Our approach is built on three pillars:

Precision & Compliance First
Every flight follows UCAA guidelines. We handle permits, security clearances and maintain full documentation.
Local Capacity at the Core
We train Ugandans to operate, process and deliver — creating jobs instead of dependency on foreign expertise.
Technology with Purpose
We select the right tools (DJI Enterprise, Pix4D, LiDAR) to solve real Ugandan challenges in agriculture, land, construction and tourism.

Operating legally in Uganda?

We handle the full compliance process so you don’t have to.

• UCAA operational permit
• Ministry of Defence clearance
• 400 ft / VLOS / daylight rules
• National park & airport restrictions
Request compliance support
