Bespoke Safari Holidays for Irish Travellers: Tailored, Trusted, and Truly Unforgettable

Why Go Bespoke?

There’s something extraordinary about waking up to the sounds of the African bush — birdsong at dawn, the distant roar of a lion, the fresh breeze sweeping across a private deck. But what makes a safari unforgettable isn’t just the wildlife. It’s the way it’s built around you.

That’s the magic of a bespoke safari — and it’s exactly what we specialise in at Wild Emerald.

We create personalised African holidays for Irish travellers, drawing on firsthand experience in the field and strong relationships with safari partners across the continent. If you're after a trip that fits you like a glove, here’s what a tailor-made safari really means.

What is a Bespoke Safari?

A bespoke safari isn’t a pre-packaged deal. It’s a trip designed around your preferences, pace, and personality. That might mean:

• Combining a luxury safari in the Sabi Sands with beach time in Zanzibar

• Focusing on photography and private guiding in Namibia

• Planning a family-friendly trip with malaria-free reserves in South Africa

• Experiencing traditional culture and wildlife in Kenya’s Maasai Mara

There are no cookie-cutter itineraries here — just smart, honest advice and handcrafted journeys that reflect who you are.

The Wild Emerald Approach

At Wild Emerald, bespoke isn’t a buzzword — it’s how we operate. Here’s how we plan your perfect safari:

1. Discovery Call

We start with a no-obligation chat (call or email — your choice) to understand what you’re looking for: wildlife priorities, comfort level, travel style, and ideal time of year.

2. Tailored Itinerary

We design a custom itinerary — not a brochure trip — using lodges and experiences we trust. You’ll get clear pricing, visuals, and optional upgrades or changes.

3. Refinements & Support

We tweak the trip until it feels just right. From there, we handle the bookings, logistics, and supplier payments, all while keeping you informed and stress-free.

4. Irish-Based Guidance

We’re based in Ireland — which means we know what Irish travellers value, how they like to travel, and what feels like a good deal (or not).

Why Irish Travellers Love Bespoke Safari Holidays

Over the past few years, more Irish travellers have traded generic beach holidays for wildlife, wide-open landscapes, and a sense of real connection. But they also want:

• Clear communication and trust

• Value for money without compromising on experience

• Flexibility in pace and style

• Advice from someone who’s been on the ground — not just read a brochure

That’s where a bespoke approach makes all the difference.

Real Support, Start to Finish

Booking a safari is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. With Wild Emerald, you’ll have someone in your corner throughout:

• Help choosing flights from Ireland

• Advice on insurance, visas, packing, tipping

• On-the-ground emergency support if ever needed

• A local touch — without the upsell

If you're ready to turn the dream into something real, let’s start the conversation. You don’t need to have everything figured out — we’ll guide you every step of the way.
