Our Story
1993
Born in Africa
After living, working and immersing themselves in the world of safari in Botswana, Henrietta Loyd and Susie Cazenove decide to set out on their own, and begin creating luxury safaris throughout east and southern Africa. Armed with one fax machine and a room in West London, cazenove+Loyd is born.
1997
Latin America is launched
Christopher-Wilmot Sitwell joins cazenove+loyd to launch our Latin America division. Having spent years travelling the magnificent continent, Christopher brings with him invaluable knowledge of how to get under the skin of some of the region’s most exhilarating destinations.
2000
The Asia division is created
With the continued success of both our Africa and Latin America divisions, cazenove+loyd launches specialist travel to Asia in time for the Millennium. After developing new and unrivalled experiences with some of the world’s best guides, clients can now experience the intoxicating region in total luxury.
2007
Celebrations
As requests for parties to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries in our regions increased over the years, we decide to give this aspect of our business an identity of its own. We begin to produce spectacular events in destinations such as India, Brazil and Oman by applying the same first-hand knowledge used to create tailor-made holidays.
2013
Small Group Travel
Although we have built our business on tailor-made travel, we decide to launch a select number of carefully curated journeys. Travelling with a specialist as your guide and a small number of like-minded people means unrivalled private access and incredible one-off experiences.
2018

With new destinations launching every year, we continue to innovate, while maintaining our core philosophy – we are about being the best rather than the biggest. Our aim is to make every detail of your holiday perfectly tailored to you. We listen to your dreams, craft visions, deliver experiences and create memories.
2019
Welcome to the Polar Regions
2019 sees the addition of The Polar Regions to our portfolio. Extreme, inhospitable, mysterious and dream-like, The Arctic and Antarctica are home to diverse landscapes, unusual wildlife, expeditionary cruises and exhilarating activities. We work with only a handful of the best luxury ships, lodges and incredible private villas to design adventures beyond your imagination.
2020
One new region, six new destinations + CURIOUS Magazine
We launch travel to an exciting new region: Australasia (including Australia, New Zealand + The Pacific Islands). We are also adding several other destinations, such as Israel, Lebanon + South Korea.
We are passionate about our destinations and, in today’s ever-changing world, understand that it has become more important than ever to conserve their wildlife, habitats and communities for future generations. We always encourage our clients to move slowly and spend longer everywhere they go – not only to reduce their footprint in ecologically sensitive areas but also to allow them to experience more from their trip. Travel is precious, so join us in exploring more intelligently and consciously on your next journey of a lifetime.
