cazenove+loyd Reviews 

Knowledgeable & Professional Luxury Travel Service

We recently had the most magical South African safari trip using Cazenova & Lloyd and found them to be most helpful and professional. They were really knowledgeable about the reserves we were visiting and gave us great advice on everything from tipping to dress code.

The places booked for us were fantastic - giving us the ideal vantage point to explore each location. Local guides & experts were really good and friendly. Tour’s & experiences were well planned and interesting for parents & teens alike.

After searching for a travel company that listened to our interests, we found cazenove+loyd! Penny Buckley and her team planned a spectacular trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with many local contacts and unique experiences. They provided professional guides who had in depth knowledge of the countries we visited. We cannot recommend the company more highly.

Having listened to our brief, c+l put together the most amazing, relaxing, informative and completely hassle free trip to Laos and Cambodia. We were looked after by Antonia from our first point of contact to when our feet were back on British soil. Fabulous hotels, fun and fascinating explorations with very experienced guides who amongst other things knew how/when to avoid potential crowds at nationally acclaimed sites, escorted us on a walking tour through local villages, meeting the locals and also delivered powerfully evocative visits to sites in Phnom Penh.
The knowledge and expertise delivered by C+l was beyond impressive. We would definitely recommend C+l to anyone looking for a sensitive, well thought out and hassle free holiday.

We were referred by a friend to Claire at Cazanove + Lloyd to plan our African trip and we found her service and knowledge to be invaluable.

We visited Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania, Claire arranged every detail including transfers and accommodation faultlessly. Claire listened to our requirements and also went out of her way to organise some extra trips to local schools and areas of interest which we had specifically requested. Every aspect of our trip including the guides, standard of accommodation and drivers was exceptional and reflected the knowledge and calibre of service from Cazanove + Lloyd.

Claire also provided us with all the information necessary to arrange appropriate Visas. Quite simply we could never have arranged this trip without Claire’s knowledge and contacts.

We found Claire to be professional, reliable and extremely efficient and look forward to organising another trip with her.

Claire Ferguson heads up the Africa team at cazanove+loyd and bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge to planning one-of-a-kind safaris.
I had very special idea of what I wanted to do and she matched camps and adventures and activities to my wish list.
Even after my two travel companions had to cancel at the very last minute, Claire made certain I was safe and never felt alone wherever I went. The camps I visited were small and very welcoming.
I did amazing walking safari between three camps in Zambia, stopped in Victoria Falls, and then went on to visit two camps in Botswana (including the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari Desert).
And of course, the animal safaris, the guides, the food and the accommodations were all FIRST RATE.
I have referred friends to Claire and she has provided them with same kind of informed and efficient service to meet their varied needs and desires, as well.

I have travelled with cazenove + loyd a number of times across the years and I cannot fault them for the choices they have made for us. We have been lucky enough to of experienced Botswana, Mauritius, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Madagascar; all very different trips with different budgets to work with but the hotels, lodges, and camps that have been chosen for us have always been exceptional. Particular attention has always been paid to the very best guides and property locations which have made the world of difference - c + l certainly know where each of these crucial elements are to be found! From 5 star hotels to simple two-man tents, always giving the opportunity to experience the variety of delights around. Food, whether it was cooked over an oil drum BBQ, in a metal luggage case over a fire pit, or within a fully equipped kitchen has never disappointed. The last few trips we took were designed by Claire, who did a fantastic job of listening to our requirements and executing them seamlessly. What amazing memories we have. I highly recommend travelling under the safe umbrella of cazenove + loyd, you will not be disappointed!

Cazenove + loyd planned us a trip of a lifetime for our honeymoon. Every detail was thought off and all of our transfers were seamless. We visited 4 South American countries in 3 weeks and the trip was planned to our budget with the most wonderful itinerary. The guides we had were incredible and we really felt we we’re taken off the beaten track so we got to experience the wonderful countries with far less other tourists.
We will 100% be using them again.

We were lucky enough to visit Sri Lanka just before the world locked down. cazenove+loyd recommended and arranged for us to stay at Why House with the lovely Hen Cottam. We wanted a relaxed beach / pool holiday with a little bit of culture – they matched our needs completely – Why House was made for us. The team at cazenove+loyd all know Hen well so we were treated like friends. Like minded guests, sensational food (I mean really fantastic!), kind and friendly staff. Penny at cazenove+loyd delivered on exactly what we needed and we are so grateful to have been on such a special trip just before the world went mad – we will travel with cazenove+loyd again and return to Sri Lanka when we can.

I visited Peru with cazenove+loyd and it was the most magical trip I have ever been on. We had access to experiences that other tourists didn't and the guides were incredible. Machu Picchu was the trip highlight and cazenove+loyd took us off the beaten track to get to the top (we didn't see any other tourists) just in time for sunrise. As well as providing out of this world experiences, everything was totally seamless and organised to perfection. We didn't have to lift a finger!
