Tzaneen notes on drone services
Citrus and avocado farms around Letsitele ask for tree counts, canopy mapping and irrigation checks. Spray work on steep slopes near Duiwelskloof is quoted per hectare and needs approvals. Lodges and tea estate venues in Magoebaskloof want promotional videos that show the forests and dams. Packhouses near Nkowankowa ask for roof checks. Ask the operator which approvals they hold for spraying, and how they keep drift away from homes and from streams that feed Tzaneen Dam.
Tzaneen from the air
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.
The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:
