We became aware of Spidertracks after it was recommended to us by friends who run an aerial fertiliser application business. We started using Spidertracks around a year ago, mainly for safety. There are vast areas in Kenya that are thick forest and/or very remote, so having a system like Spidertracks in case of an emergency is invaluable for rescue purposes.

Spidertracks has helped greatly with our confidence and peace of mind while flying.
Have we helped you fly safer and smarter? If so, how?
Spidertracks has increased the safety of our operations overall, as it’s given us the ability to check on the location and status of the aircraft and to be able to monitor the progress of the aircraft during flights, even in areas of no phone service.
