Drones in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in a green, subtropical valley surrounded by citrus, mango, avocado and macadamia farms, and much of its drone work serves agriculture. Growers ask for orchard mapping, tree counts, irrigation checks and, where approved, spraying on steep slopes. Lodges and guesthouses in Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg want promotional aerials of forests, tea estates and dams. Summer brings heat, humidity and heavy afternoon storms, while the mountains often hold mist in the mornings. Small airfields in the area may need checking. Buyers are mostly farmers, packhouses and tourism businesses, with operators travelling from Polokwane for larger jobs.
