Mpumalanga from the air
Mpumalanga changes sharply from west to east, and so does the drone work.

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.
