Lloyd is a fifth generation South African and grew up camping, birding and hiking in the Drakensberg mountains and the game-rich reserves of the South African east coast. He completed an honours degree in historical geography and teaching at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, after which he became a history teacher and sports coach in Durban for three years. But the allure of the bush saw him start a career in environmental tourism at the prestigious Mala Mala Game Reserve. A four-year trans-globe journey then took him and his wife Sue to Europe, the UK, the USA, the Middle and the Far East, including Japan (where they taught English for two years), south-east Asia and Australia, but in 1997 they moved to the Okavango Delta of Botswana to manage high-end safari camps. Lloyd and Sue moved to Namibia in 2001 where Lloyd was appointed General Manager of several safari camps. Lloyd then established a safari training school that provided luxury lodges with the managers, service personnel and safari guides that they required to operate at the highest level. Lloyd simultaneously worked alongside various NGO’s and with voluntary tourism bodies in taking training to the community areas of Namibia, while also working as a specialist guide. Since 2009 Lloyd has specialised as a freelance private guide and guide trainer and has lead numerous safaris in all the wildlife areas of east and southern Africa. His enormous ground base and experience in a wide range of differing ecosystems and cultures makes him a particularly engaging and knowledgeable guide and host. In 2012 he established Lloyd Camp Consulting Africa, focused on elegantly designed safari experiences and itineraries for small groups of friends or families, most of which he leads personally. Many of his clients are repeat or referred guests. His free time is spent writing, reading widely, travelling across the world, climbing major mountains such as Fuji, Kilimanjaro and Cotopaxi (Ecuador) and participating in endurance cycling, running, kayaking, triathlon and swimming events. His collection of safari stories, “Africa Bites”, was launched in 2015 and is available on Amazon. His second volume of stories, “Confessions of an African Safari Guide”, was published in 2020. He and Sue are now based in the UK from where Lloyd travels regularly to Africa to lead safaris.
