Thorntree River Lodge lies in Zambia’s Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, just a short distance from the famous Victoria Falls. The Lodge has been built with an environmentally-conscious design.

The lodge has 8 twin rooms and 2 family suites (with two inter-leading bedrooms).
The main lodge has beautiful open places with steel and glass. It comprises a lounge with an open dining area. Here the fine dining experience of African cuisine comes alive, with a large wine cellar supplying a range of fine wines to accompany your meal. The gym and spa overlook the mighty Zambezi River. Whilst there's a small library with WiFi for your convenience.

Activities at Thorntree include visits to Victoria Falls, rhino trekking on foot & game drives in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. Cultural village visits, sunset river cruises, fishing, and visits to the Livingstone Museum are also on offer. The sundowner cruise is a must!
