George notes on drones & gear

Holiday buyers often want a drone for trips to Wilderness and Victoria Bay, but sea mist and salt air are hard on light drones, so a weather-sealed folding camera drone is a safer choice. Forestry contractors near the Outeniqua Pass ask about commercial drones for plantation mapping. Second-hand drones from Knysna and Mossel Bay are common, so check for corrosion and salt damage.

Drones in George

George is the main town of the Garden Route, wedged between the forested Outeniqua Mountains and the sea. Drone work covers tourism and wedding footage at Wilderness and Herold's Bay, property marketing on golf estates, and inspections for timber plantations and dairy farms inland. The Garden Route National Park covers the Wilderness lakes and parts of the coast, and drones need permission there. George Airport sits south-west of town, so much of the area is controlled airspace. Coastal weather changes fast, with sea mist, drizzle and gusty wind off the mountains. Many operators also serve Mossel Bay and Knysna from here.
