2020 is a significant year for us as it was 10 years ago that ORYX Photo Tours was born! From small beginnings leading photo tours to only a handful of southern African destinations, to now taking guests all over the world, it has been a privilege and a joy to celebrate our diverse and captivating world through the medium of photography with like-minded people.
In the build up to World Rhino Day, we at ORYX are pleased to announce our latest donation of US$6,315 to our conservation partners Rhino’s Without Borders. This brings us to a total of US$24,636 in support of these iconic animals. The Rhinos Without Borders project has seen significant progress, and it is an honour for us to be playing our small part in the protection of this planet. Below is a selection of Rhino images from a few of our Photo Tour Leaders and Partners. We hope you enjoy!
