Madagascar 2019
I have been on many tours around the world and yours was the best!
Thanks again for your leadership in Madagascar. I definitely enjoyed our time together and you may well find me signed up for another trip with you. The Pantanal trip is definitely on my radar.
Late in 2019, I joined a wildlife photo tour in Madagascar, superbly organized by ORYX Photo Tours and terrifically led by Dale Morris. ORYX Photo Tours was well-organized, flexible and responsive throughout my interactions with them, starting with my first inquiries about the trip through the trip itself and on to my immediately following trip to the remote Omo Valley photo tour in Ethiopia. Their arrangements were excellent; I survived and thrived!
Dale is a terrific photo tour leader. He is an excellent photographer and teacher of photography (separate talents that don’t always come packaged together in one person). He is highly knowledgeable about the locations and their available wildlife subjects where he leads tours. Just as important, Dale is fully committed to meeting the needs and aspirations of his photo tour clients, including making sure the tour is fun and enlightening for everyone. Here’s one example of his commitment. There was another cycle of our tour scheduled right after ours with another ORYX tour leader. When that tour leader had passport difficulties and could not travel to Madagascar, Dale agreed to stay on (and away from his family) for another three weeks to take care of that later group.
I would, without hesitation, take another photo tour with Dale Morris and ORYX. Hopefully, we’ll emerge from this pandemic and that will be possible again soon!
