Home to arguably the world’s richest cultural landscape, India is of course also famous for its iconic mammalian megafauna, foremost of which is the regal Bengal Tiger. This safari visits the celebrated Ranthambore National Park, which is arguably the best place to photograph Tiger. Our 10 sessions in the park will give participants unbeatable opportunities to capture a diverse portfolio of Tiger images (all the while not forgetting the other resident wildlife), and we invite you to join us on this unforgettable celebration of India’s most iconic mammal!

Why this Photo Tour is for You

Destination Allure

Our photo tour spends time in Ranthambore National Park, which is arguably the best place to photograph the Royal Bengal Tiger. With Tiger numbers on the increase in the park, we stand a very good chance of capturing images of these striped beauties!

Month of Travel

Our tiger photo safari takes place at the beginning of spring when hot temperatures begin to set in. Although winter would have passed, no spring rain means foliage has not yet had time to sprout, leaving no ample shade or thick brush. Animals are more likely than not to stay near to water sources to stay cool, even Tigers!

Number of Species

Other than the “Lord of the Jungle”, the Bengal Tiger, Ranthambore plays host to a variety of wildlife, including the Sloth Bear, Chital, Indian Gazelle, resplendent Indian Peafowl and if you're lucky, the elusive Leopard.

Days 3 to 7: Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore protects a rich mosaic of deciduous woodland, bamboo thickets, lakes and marshes – prime Bengal Tiger habitat! We will use open-top jeeps to explore the park for Tigers, enjoying the areas rich wildlife as we go. Our Ranthambore Tiger tour is timed to fall over the dry season when water is a key resource to the park’s thirsty residents. Tigers regularly relax in the parks waterbodies, potentially providing us with excellent photographic opportunities as they cool off during the hottest hours of the day.

In any event we had the BEST photo tour ever! I had questioned prior to the trip if it made sense to be going back to India a second time with Marius, given all the places we want to visit, and I can unequivocally say it was ...and then some! Every stop of the tour offered unique and interesting experiences and photographic opportunities and with Marius as our "fearless leader" we were able to capitalize on the environment in a way we would never be able to do without him. We walked the back slum alleys of Jodhpur capturing the daily street life...sat in the sand dunes while camels ran up the dunes...photographed mating leopards in the magical rocky setting of Jawai.. visited with the local tribal chiefs as they prepared for a family wedding ...and found a path to a front row seat to photograph drinking tigers with full reflections (a personal bucket list item for me!)

All along the way we laughed and learned and shared in the enthusiasm exuded by Marius and just had so much fun!

Photographically we continue to learn and grow from our time with Marius "in the field" as he inspires us to see things from a new perspective with the use or our camera. He helps create magical moments for us to capture, teaching us more about light and shadows and composition. We return home after each trip more excited about our photography, as we practice our editing skills in search of creating better and more interesting images. Yes was a magical two weeks and I am only sorry it had to end!

Andries and I would like to thank the ORYX team for a memorable India photo tour. The tour was exceptionally well planned. The only hassle we as guests were left with was to try and get the best photo of a tiger. We can only but highly recommend ORYX Photo Tours and will not think twice about using their services again in future.

Dale Morris was an excellent tour leader. Apart from being a very pleasant person, he also went out of his way to share his wealth of knowledge on photography with us. We started the tour with our photos looking like normal holiday snap shots, and ended up taking some pretty professional images. Thank you Dale for your patience and willingness to help us.

We are writing to provide some feedback on our short trip to India with ORYX Photo Tours, to visit several game parks with Tiger spotting a priority. We  had a small group of 4, ably led by Dale Morris, a genuinely friendly and helpful leader. Dale is a skilled and award winning photographer whose enthusiasm for photography was infectious.  Dale was a delight to travel with and ensured that everything worked as planned.  We managed to see quite a few tigers and also enjoyed the classic sights of the Taj Mahal.

Thank you for another great photo safari! It was a fantastic time in India, and although I’m very glad to be home, I already miss it.

It was great getting the opportunity to meet the other clients, and Dale did a wonderful job as our guide and I really appreciate all of his hard work and dedication both in and out of the field, and I loved his willingness to engage in personable conversations at the dinner table. He was very willing to listen and learn about the world through someone else’s perspective. He also taught me some new tricks with my camera that I had no idea about, but they made life so much easier.

Thanks again for everything!
