LE PETIT VILLAGE – KAMPALA
We have a big crush on this hotel, the reason why we use to spend a lot of time there. It is really a small village with its bakery, its restaurant (yummy!), its hotel, its luxury grocery store, its gym, its massage room, its swimming pool… A haven of peace nestled in Kampala alongside its great nightlife.
