Drones in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal mixes a busy coast, sugar cane hills, timber plantations and big game parks, and drone work covers all of it. Cane and forestry growers in the Midlands and Zululand use drones for mapping, stand counts and spraying. The harbours at Durban and Richards Bay, factories in Pinetown and Newcastle, and the coastal resorts bring inspection, property and tourism work. King Shaka International sits on the north coast and Virginia Airport serves Durban north, while Ezemvelo parks such as Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the Drakensberg need permission to fly. Summers are hot and humid with heavy rain, and sea breezes and salt air are hard on motors.
Typical FPV drones requests in the area come from:

- Estate agents and developers: a cinewhoop for smooth fly-through clips of show houses and lodges
