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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
