Whether you are planning a Garden Route self-drive or wondering if the Swartberg Pass suits your rental car, I am happy to help. Here is how to get in touch and what to expect after you write.
The best place for detailed trip planning. Tell me where you are starting, how many days you have, and what kind of vehicle you drive. I will reply with honest notes on road conditions, fuel stops, and worthwhile detours.
info@toursbylloyd.comIf you are already on the road and need a quick answer about a pass or a place to stay, call me. I usually pick up between 8am and 6pm, and I will call back if I am driving.
011-664-5055My home base is in Mpumalanga, but I spend most weeks on the road between Cape Town and the Karoo. If you are passing through the area, send a note ahead and we can meet for coffee.

I answer emails within one working day, usually faster. Phone calls during driving hours may go to voicemail, but I return them the same evening. Route questions sent over the weekend get a reply by Monday morning.
A rough itinerary helps me give better advice. Mention your starting city, the number of nights, and whether you prefer bush camps or guesthouses. If you have a specific pass or gravel road in mind, name it and I will share what I know from recent trips.
Before you write, check the frequently asked questions page. Many common route questions are already answered there with practical detail.
If the FAQ pages did not cover your situation, reach out directly. I have been driving these roads for years and usually reply within a day or two with practical advice, not a generic response.
Send your route questions, trip reports, or notes on road conditions. If you are planning a self-drive and want an honest opinion on timing or detours, this is the quickest way to get an answer.
Prefer to talk through a route on the phone? I am available for calls about itineraries, vehicle requirements, and accommodation choices along the Garden Route and Karoo.
If you are in the area and want to chat about a trip in person, the office is open during the week. Drop by with a map and a rough idea of where you want to go.

Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. Saturday mornings are reserved for trip prep and route research, so if you call then, leave a message and I will get back to you on Monday.
When you write in, include your starting point, how many days you have, and the kind of vehicle you will be driving. That gives me enough to suggest a realistic route with fuel stops and overnight options.
