Six itineraries, from 5 to 16 days. Every journey is a starting point to make your own.
To experience the very best of Uganda would take at least forty days. Since few travellers have that much time, we have created tried-and-tested itineraries, each with its own character and always adaptable to your wishes.
Tell us about your interests and the kind of experience you are looking for. Together we can shape the journey that suits you best and let the excitement begin long before departure.
Many people first come to Uganda for its mountain gorillas, then discover a much richer country: intense colours, ever-changing landscapes, remarkable photographic safaris and encounters that stay with you.

Discover the journeyMalachite Tour & Travel was born from the belief that the best results come from bringing different people and cultures together. Namukasa Noeline, director and Italian-speaking guide and interpreter, and Romanello Pierluigi Pilù, director and safari manager, combine complementary experience, perspectives and skills.
We know Uganda deeply and want to show it as it truly is: not only extraordinary nature and landscapes, but also everyday life, people and aspects of local culture that often remain outside the usual tourist routes. We care for every detail so that your holiday becomes both a wonderful experience and an authentic opportunity to discover, learn and take a piece of Uganda home with you.


Years in tourism and first-hand knowledge of Uganda and its wonders.
Local people and culture are part of the journey, beyond postcard images.
Every detail is handled with care, a passion for service and respect for travellers.
An encounter in the forest. A conversation along the road. If you have travelled with Malachite, this space is for your experience.
“Un viaggio indimenticabile, reso ancora più speciale da Noeline e Wilson, due persone che svolgono il proprio lavoro con grande professionalità, passione e, soprattutto, con il cuore. Noeline è stata attenta, preparata, disponibile e sempre cordiale. Una presenza discreta ma preziosa, capace di trasmettere sicurezza e di farci sentire accolti in ogni momento. Wilson, invece, è impossibile non ricordarlo con un sorriso: simpatico, socievole, allegro e con una vera e propria devozione per l'avocado! La sua energia e la sua allegria hanno accompagnato le nostre giornate rendendo ogni momento ancora più piacevole. Insieme sono una squadra speciale: professionali quando serve, sempre disponibili e capaci di trasmettere l'amore per il loro Paese. E' evidente che per loro accompagnare i viaggiatori non è solo un lavoro, ma qualcosa che fanno con passione, orgoglio e autenticità. Grazie di cuore per aver contribuito a rendere il nostro viaggio così intenso e pieno di emozioni. Torniamo a casa con ricordi meravigliosi, un pezzo di Uganda nel cuore... e la certezza che nel dubbio Wilson sceglierà sempre l'avocado :-). Infine, un doveroso ringraziamento a Pilù per l'ottima organizzazione dell'itinerario (già solo leggerlo fa venire voglia di correre a preparare la valigia), l'attenzione continua all'andamento della vacanza e soprattutto per averci deliziato con la sua compagnia durante la nostra ultima serata. E' stato uno di quei viaggi che non dimenticheremo mai per tutte le emozioni che ci ha regalato ogni singolo giorno”
