Limpopo notes on equipment & supplies
Distances are long, so many farmers and lodge managers buy their own petrol chainsaw from a garden equipment dealer in Polokwane or Tzaneen rather than hire. Tool hire shops in Polokwane and Mokopane rent chippers and stump grinders, usually with towing needed out to the farm. Bring cut-resistant trousers and a helmet with a visor, since thorn and mopane are hard on gear.
Trees in Limpopo
Limpopo is hot, dry bushveld for most of the year, with green pockets in the mist belt above Tzaneen and around Thohoyandou. Marula, mopane, knob thorn and the occasional baobab grow on farms and plots, while mango, avocado, litchi and macadamia orchards line the valleys of the Letaba and the far north. Thunderstorms arrive in summer after long dry spells, and drought can leave big trees brittle. Work is often on game farms, lodges and fruit farms: clearing for roads and fences, thinning bush, and removing old orchard trees. Several indigenous trees here are protected, including marula, leadwood, shepherd's tree and baobab, so check whether a tree is protected and get a licence first.
The requests we see from Limpopo usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: protective gear for farm workers cutting gums, wattle and firewood
- Homeowners: a helmet set and chaps for cutting up fallen branches and braai wood
- Businesses and commercial property: safety kit for grounds staff to meet workplace safety duties
