Thorntree River Lodge welcomes you to an intimate escape into the wild. Located in Zambia’s Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, just twenty minutes upstream from the thundering Victoria Falls, Thorntree River Lodge marries contemporary design with eco-conscious materials, blending effortlessly into the natural surroundings. With tented rooftops, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, and private plunge pools, Thorntree River Lodge boasts 8 Luxury Rooms and 2 Family Units with interleading walkways.
Children of all ages can enjoy the Ngwana Kids Club while parents can hit the gym, indulge in a spa treatment, or soak in views from the infinity pool that blends seamlessly into the Zambezi River horizon. Bordering the pool is a communal deck featuring a sunken boma for relaxing evening under starry skies, sipping wine, and sharing stories beside a crackling fire. An enchanting wooden deck extends over the water for a unique illusion of sailing over the river waters. The open interior spaces are a blend of rustic eco-chic design and contemporary charm. The welcoming open lounge flows into a small library as well as the dining area where African fine dining delights can be savoured. Extending from the dining room is a private wine cellar stocked with a collection of choice wines. Thorntree River Lodge is a tranquil riverside base from which guests can embark on a plethora of adventures. Daily game drives are included as well as visits to the Falls, river cruises, cultural visits, canoeing, fishing expeditions, and rhino tracking.
