Henrietta Loyd’s four decades of crafting unforgettable travel experiences across Africa and beyond
Henrietta Loyd has spent over four decades exploring Africa and beyond. She co-founded Cazenove & Loyd in 1993, a travel company now recognised globally for its expertise. Her passion for discovery extends from remote safari destinations to the cultural depths of the Middle East.
Loyd’s career in travel began in the early 2000s, a time when safaris were far less luxurious than today. Back then, the focus was on basic comfort and wildlife sightings. Now, high-end experiences prioritise solitude, expert guiding, and immersive learning. She often recommends Kruger National Park and its surrounding reserves for first-time safari-goers, citing their reliable wildlife encounters.
Her recent fascination lies with Bhutan, where she has spent much of this year. The country’s unspoiled landscapes and measured pace of life draw her in. Bhutan’s tourism model—with its $100 daily fee—keeps visitor numbers low, preserving its unique character. Over the years, she has watched the country evolve: stricter high-value, low-volume policies have eased slightly, while eco-tourism and digital booking platforms have grown.
Beyond Asia, Loyd remains captivated by the Middle East. She has visited Jordan six times and now looks to explore Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman. Each country, she notes, offers distinct experiences and learning opportunities. Her trips often take small groups to lesser-known regions, avoiding overcrowded tourist spots.
For travellers seeking advice, Loyd stresses the importance of research. She urges clients to select companies with deep industry knowledge and a long-standing reputation.
Loyd’s work continues to shape how people experience remote and emerging destinations. Through Cazenove & Loyd, she connects travellers with carefully curated journeys—whether in Africa’s wild landscapes or the quiet corners of Bhutan. Her approach remains rooted in authenticity, expertise, and a preference for the road less travelled.
