Texas is vast and unforgettable, red rock deserts, ranchlands and vibrant cities. Ride, explore and unwind in style.

Why travel to Texas

Texas offers an extraordinary blend of landscapes, culture and adventure. The state stretches across seven distinct regions, from the desert mountains of the west to the beaches of the Gulf Coast, each with its own character and experiences.

Nature here is both dramatic and diverse. In places like Big Bend and Palo Duro Canyon – often called the “Grand Canyon of Texas” – vast cliffs, desert wildlife and endless skies create spectacular settings for hiking, horseback riding and stargazing. Across the state you can kayak rivers, explore caves, spot birds or discover hidden swimming holes tucked between rocky cliffs.

Cities bring a different energy. Austin’s live music scene, San Antonio’s historic missions and Houston’s museums reflect the state’s rich cultural mix and long history. Food is equally central to the experience, from celebrated barbecue traditions to vibrant Tex-Mex cuisine.

Texas also rewards travellers who enjoy the journey itself. Scenic drives through the Hill Country pass wildflower meadows, vineyards and ranchlands, while historic towns and roadside landmarks reveal the spirit of the American West.

SUSTAINABILITY

We believe travel is precious

The world has transformed dramatically since cazenove+loyd was founded in 1993. On every trip we take, we wonder how that destination will look in another 30 years. We are passionate about our destinations and understand that it has become more important than ever to conserve their wildlife, habitats and communities for future generations.

Our highlights in Texas

Our Destination Expert’s top tip

South Africans and Australians won’t agree, but the BBQ’s in Texas really are the best in the world. Here it is more or a religion than a cookery technique and secrets are carefully guarded. If you are vegetarian you will find options, but, it’s so good that you might consider being a carnivore for the day!

Cadillac Ranch

Amarillo is home to the famous Cadillac Ranch, an art installation where ten vintage Cadillacs are buried nose-down in the desert. Visitors are encouraged to spray paint the cars, meaning the artwork is constantly changing.

College Football Mecca

When the Texas–Oklahoma Red River Showdown takes place in Dallas, private jet arrivals surge as fans fly in for the game from across the USA. Experiencing a game here is a memory that will last forever, but ask us early as tickets sell out fast!

What our clients say
My latest cazenove+loyd adventure was a return to Africa in June 2018, this time to Zambia, Victoria Falls and Botswana. The plan was for three of us but at the very last minute, my friends had to cancel. I had special attention from the staff in each camp. There was a bottle of Champagne waiting at the hotel in Victoria Falls. These are the small touches that set c+l apart.
What our clients say
The Delta was spectacular with an abundance of animals and birdlife. The highlight of this camp was the helicopter flight giving us a 'drone' perspective of the region, during which we could truly appreciate the intricacy of the multiple waterways, lagoons and vegetation. Our gorgeous chopper pilot, all the way from New Zealand, surprised us with Champagne by the edge of a massive lagoon. What a treat!
What our clients say
The highlight of the Kalahari for us was the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The food here was also outstanding, and with each meal, we were seated at a communal table. Overall, our safari was an incredible experience, made up of three very different camps, spending three nights in each and made even more special by our guides and the supporting staff at each of the camps. The care and attention to detail throughout the trip was faultless.
