Mpumalanga notes on drone services
Operators here map timber compartments around Sabie, Graskop and Bushbuckridge, spray and scout orchards along the Crocodile River valley, and inspect conveyors, chimneys and substations near eMalahleni and Secunda. Lodges and guesthouses on the Panorama Route and near the Kruger gates book aerial video for their websites, but filming must stay outside park boundaries. Ask the operator how they deal with the restricted zones around power stations and the Secunda plant before agreeing a date.
What people fly for in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga changes sharply from west to east, and so does the drone work. On the Highveld around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, operators survey coal stockpiles and inspect conveyors, but power stations and the fuel plant at Secunda are national key points and off limits without permission. Down the escarpment, pine and gum plantations near Sabie and Graskop are mapped for forestry, and citrus and macadamia farms around Mbombela, White River and Hazyview want crop images and spraying. The Blyde River Canyon and Panorama Route draw content creators, yet Kruger National Park is a no-fly area. Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport sits near Mbombela. Expect Lowveld heat, misty escarpment mornings and summer storms.
