About Thorntree River Lodge


Thorntree River Lodge offers exclusivity in an unspoilt setting, envied by many but experienced by few. The lodge caters for the whole family, although children under 12 are accommodated only on request.  The entire complex has been constructed using natural materials, with indigenous wood and thatching providing shade and the unmistakable feel of a true safari camp

Thorntree River Lodge's riverside location and its unique position within a national park allows for a wide choice of activities, including sunset cruises, game drives, cultural tours, fishing and, of course, visits to the Victoria Falls – the ‘smoke that thunders’. The Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park is a sanctuary for white rhino, as well as a haven for many other species, including giraffe, sable, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo and a wide variety of birds.
