As the use of civilian drones becomes popular worldwide, some entrepreneurs in Cameroon are finding new ways to do business with them and even want to build one of their own.
In a bid to boost tourism attraction in Cameroon, an entrepreneur, Mathieu Onguene has introduced a new way for tourists to enjoy sights.
In Ebolowa, a town in Southern Cameroon, drones are being used to capture new aerial footage of some landmarks.
Onguene is one of the growing number of entrepreneurs who use drones to monitor large agricultural plantations and construction sites, which would prove difficult and dangerous for some other people.
He said he likes seeing images of Ebolowa town from a different perspective adding that drone tour cost between 170 and $250.
“My use of drones is mainly to take images of the different parts of the city. Of course we also use it to highlight some of the best tourist sites because seen from above, some of the sites have an even bigger impact on people,“he said. This report by africanews
