Our story

cazenove+loyd has been pioneering impactful travel for more than 30 years. In 1993, after living, working and immersing themselves in the world of safari in Botswana, Henrietta Loyd and Susie Cazenove started creating extraordinary safaris throughout east and southern Africa. Armed with one fax machine and a room in West London, our boutique luxury travel company, cazenove+loyd was born.
Christopher Wilmot-Sitwell later joined the team to launch our Latin America and Asia divisions having spent years travelling these magnificent regions.

The trio bonded over a shared motivation to translate the unique way in which c+l was designing safaris and extend the same philosophy to luxury tailor-made holidays all over the world –utilising a recipe of unrivalled service, teamed with exclusive access to remarkable people and places on the ground.

Today, each one of our dedicated Destination Experts has extensive knowledge of the regions they specialise in, and is continuously revisiting, trying and testing in order to offer our clients up-to-date and little-known insights into the regions they are so passionate about.

Most importantly, we care about getting to know our clients and invest time into building lifelong relationships, which enable us to create holidays of a lifetime. We do all the planning for you, make everything seamless and take the stress away, so you can focus on living in the moment. Whatever you are dreaming of, we are here to make it happen.
