A seamless trip

Our trip was seamless from start to finish. We had no concerns or second thoughts for the week we were away. Peace of mind (and good ideas) are the primary reasons we keep going back to CazLoyd.

Wonderful experience with Casanove + Loyd

This was our second trip with Casanove + Loyd and our first working with Melissa Kirby. We felt very well cared for during the planning process and during the trip itself. The arrangements planned by Melissa were spot-on and it was clear that she listened and cared about our needs and the kind of trip we wanted to have. Will not hesitate to use C+L again and highly recommend them.

The best Honeymoon!!

We had the most amazing honeymoon to Australia with the help of planning from Charlotte! She took all of our wants and needs into consideration to plan the perfect trip for us. I couldn’t have asked for anything more!! We planned this trip for about a year. Communication was fast with Charlotte. She was the best to work with! I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you! It's the best trip ever!

We recently returned from the most extraordinary trip to Kenya, and we cannot thank Melissa and her team enough for crafting such an exceptional experience. Melissa tailored the entire journey to our preferences, and it truly checked every box we had hoped for – from exploring the vibrant city to witnessing Kenya’s incredible wildlife, and even relaxing on stunning beaches. Every attraction and accommodation she selected exceeded our expectations, making this trip a dream come true.

From the moment we touched down at Nairobi International Airport, everything was perfect. The immigration process was seamless, and we were warmly greeted by the local staff, who were incredibly helpful and friendly. Their attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring we were comfortable and well-informed throughout.

One of the most incredible aspects of the trip was how effortless it was for us. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing – no planning, no stress. We were able to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the experience, trusting Melissa and her team completely. It’s rare to find such peace of mind on a holiday.

The transportation was smooth and luxurious at every stage. From city to city, we travelled comfortably, and the quality of our vehicles was noticeably superior to others. We truly felt well cared for.

We didn’t want this trip to end and are already looking forward to our next adventure. Our perception of hiring a travel agency has been transformed. Thank you, Melissa, and the entire team at cazenove+loyd, for giving us the best travel experience we’ve ever had!

Safari trip of a lifetime to South Africa.

Truly personal, tailor-made safari holiday designed specially for us by Destination Expert Melissa. She helped make our wedding anniversary celebrations an unforgettable experience.
We were really well supported from start to finish on our trip of a lifetime. She planned a brilliant itinerary for us using her knowledge of the various safari lodges in South Africa that would suit us.
Melissa and the team at Cazenove and Loyd adapted our plans at very short notice late at night when our plane from London to Johannesburg was delayed for 24 hours: meaning we would have been stranded at Johannesburg airport at 02.00am in the morning and would have missed our onward connecting flight. The team quickly and seamlessly booked us an airport hotel in Johannesburg and re-scheduled our connecting flight. It was so re-assuring that they were able to respond to a phone call at out-of-office hours.
Along the journey, as a couple of decrepit pensioners, we were very well taken care of. Melissa arranged Meet and Greet facilities at every stage and wheel-chair assistance was provided all along the journey.
We have travelled with many travel agencies over the years, but this company is, by far, the most attentive, experienced and helpful and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. We will definitely be asking them to tailor-make another holiday for us and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.

The trip was put together at last…

The trip was put together at last minute with lots of valuable insights from Melissa.

She went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. She never
Pushed or promoted any single idea.

She even arranged meet and greet at joburg to help with transit.

Really amazing experience.

A case of you get what you pay for being true for once. Very good at communicating options and advising on what they think will suit you as they take the time to explore what type of holiday suits you.

Amazing Trip to Africa

We had the pleasure of working with Melissa Kirby and the team at cazenove+loyd to plan a recent 18 day trip from the US to South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. The experience was a pleasure from beginning to end. Melissa listened carefully to our vision for the trip, gave us many good and interesting suggestions for each stop along the way including transportation, hotels, safari camps, restaurants, and guide services. The trip went off flawlessly and we were impressed with the quality vendors all along the way. Upon our return Melissa called to debrief gathering valuable feedback and insights about our experience. We could not recommend Melissa Kirby and the cazenove+loyd team more. Debbie and Chuck H.

Amazing personalised service, faultless

The booking service and whole experience with C+L was fantastic, absolutely faultless and made very easy for us throughout. I have used various travel companies / consultants before but they are definitely the best we have worked with in terms of everything from the initial discussion of our brief, to walking through the different options, and right through the experience up to the holiday. Our consultant Auriole took the time to really understand what we wanted from our holiday and explore the different possibilities, and then having genuine first hand knowledge of the different locations / resort destinations that we discussed was able to land on the perfect holiday destination. I will definitely be reaching out for our next trip.
