About this trip

ORYX Photo Tours is proud to present our Women Only Uganda Photo Safari, which takes us to some of Uganda’s most iconic and thrilling wildlife destinations. 


ORYX’s new product, “Women on Safari”, has been conceptualized and designed to offer women who lust for exploring our wild destinations with camera in hand a selection of tours that brings the excitement into traveling to new areas to learn and master how to best utilize your camera and capture your photographic vision, all in an environment of support and comradery.


Whether solo or traveling with another, joining a tour filled with other independent, creative women is motivating and empowering as you share, learn and create experiences, memories and photographs together.


Our tour begins with a search for the iconic Shoebill, a denizen of large central African swamps, and one of the world’s most sought-after birds. Next, we make our way to the primate haven that is Kibale Forest in search of our closest living relative, the Chimpanzee. Here we will amble along the gentle slopes in search of these highly intelligent creatures, before leaving the verdant Kibale Forest behind you as we journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park. This vast reserve boasts impressive crater scenery, expansive grasslands, tropical forests and large herds of Elephant, Buffalo, Uganda Kob as well as the famed tree-climbing Lions of the region.


To end off this already inspiring photographic journey, we travel to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to spend time and photograph the Mountain Gorillas; an experience deemed as one of the most holistic wildlife experiences available.

From start to finish Oryx was professional and all arrangements were carried out perfectly. Dale Morris, our Oryx photo guide, was so helpful in finally teaching me how to shoot in manual mode - quite the feat I must add. He was attentive in everyone’s needs during the trip and was so funny and entertaining too and made everyone feel welcomed. I will definitely book another Oryx photo adventure.

Having travelled to Africa multiple times before and having fallen in love with its wildlife and nature, this was my first photo tour with ORYX. The overall experience was clearly beyond my expectations. From my first email contact with Nicolette, I have felt very welcomed by everyone. Every detail of the tour was well planned and perfectly organized. Given all the rapidly changing Covid regulations, the ORYX team made sure everyone of us was able to meet all requirements and even arranged a Covid testing in the bush while we were on game drive. Returning to the Mara with its abundance of wildlife felt marvelous. Our base for the following six days was Alex Walker’s Serian The Original, a serene and beautiful "classic" bush camp in the best sense of the word with a prime location right by the Mara river, superb food and exceptional staff, who made me feel at home from the first moment. I loved my spacious and comfortable tent by the river and enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the hippos around every night. Penny, our photo tour leader and photographer, is a real gem. She is an excellent photographer, a brilliant teacher and an inspiring travel companion, always generous in sharing her knowledge, skills and vision. Penny made every effort to ensure everyone was feeling comfortable all the time and assisted whenever necessary. You could feel every moment, that her aim is providing her guests the best possible experience. I owe her a lot of inspiration for my personal photographic development. I’m already looking forward to my next tour!

Fabulous trip, well organised and our tour leader and photographer Penny Robartes was excellent. Good accommodation and locations were also good. Learned a lot from Penny about photography and took some of the best photos I have ever taken. Saw lots of animals and birds. the local guides were also well informed, helpful and excellent overall. In summary this was an excellent trip and will certainly look to undertake further trips with Oryx.

We had a memorable trip to Madagascar We have just been there for a week but we had the impression being there for a month We saw so many great locations and species in different national parks And finally being on the western coast to Morondava with islands beach and baobab Allée was very special It was a great trip we would love to do again. Kirsten is a great guide ! Hotels were perfectly chosen and also the local guide was very good And the drivers were great what is very important on these difficult roads. Thanks to all Best Johannes
