The Curators of Extraordinary Travel

For more than 25 years, cazenove+loyd has created journeys beyond expectations.

Founders and co-owners, Henrietta Loyd and Christopher Wilmot-Sitwell, and their team of experts design extraordinary tailor-made holidays, small group trips and celebrations. These include family holidays with children of all ages, honeymoons, sabbaticals, multi-generational trips, and adventures for individual travellers, young and retired couples and groups of friends.

They work in five extraordinary regions, specialising in 60 destinations across Africa + the Indian Ocean, Central + South America, Asia + the Middle East, Australasia and the Polar Regions. Providing a highly exclusive, innovative and personal way in which to travel, they only design around 350 trips a year, allowing them to give their clients the time and attention necessary to create the perfect trip.

The dynamic team of specialists has invaluable knowledge of how to get under the skin of some of the world’s most exhilarating destinations. They are continuously revisiting, trying and testing to develop new and unrivalled experiences with the best guides in order to offer their clients up-to-date and little-known insights into the places they are so passionate about. Most importantly, they care about getting to know their clients, and invest time into building important relationships, which enable them to create holidays of a lifetime.

Their service is unparalleled in its attentiveness. From the initial conversation, they begin to build their clients’ ideas into a holiday, continuously tweaking during the planning process. They collaborate with the client in exactly the way they wish to ensure they grasp exactly what they want to get out of their trip. When their clients are away, they are on hand 24/7, in the wings throughout to ensure every detail runs smoothly and constantly in contact with those on the ground – proactive and reactive to the flow of the trip.

I would entrust them with your wildest travel dreams, including organising a celebratory trip with a party thrown in during that trip. Contact Christopher via Almost Essential to discuss any wild (or more classic!) travel ideas you might have.
