Reviews from Travellers on this Tour

Shelly and Judith  

For Gorillas, Chimpanzees and more - Range Land Safaris has it all!

03-Oct-2017

This was our fourth trip to Africa and second trip to Uganda with Morris. Range Land recommended different options for our custom tour and organized our trip just as we expected, communicated to us from Uganda to Los Angeles as needed, and arranged all of the details just as we had hoped for. This was our best trip by far - chimps, gorillas, tree climbing lions and babies of every species from h ippos, elephants and giraffe to chimps, gorillas and leopards. Our visits with the Gorillas Doctors, a local school and safari with a park researcher added depth to an amazing trip. The camps were excellent and Range Land took care of all the details. Can't say enough good things about the Range Land team.
