Hotels in the African Rainforest

Hotels in the African Rainforest
According to the CIA World Factbook, Uganda is a nation rich in natural resources with a tropical, wet climate. Indigenous flora, animals, birds and fascinating cultures sing the song of the rainforest. Take a safari through Uganda, photograph the hippos, listen to an amazing symphony of nature at its best. Accommodations range from luxurious to modest; it is difficult to know where the decor of the hotel ends and the environment begins.
