The Detail

Only a short distance from the famous Victoria Falls, Thorntree River Lodge is the perfect base from which to explore the beauty of this region and return to your private accommodation in an intimate setting.

Thorntree River Lodge has been completely rebuilt with an environmentally-conscious design. Drawing inspiration from local customs and culture, it features a modern contemporary design with tented roof structures to maintain the feel of authentic Africa.

The lodge boasts 8 Twin Rooms and 2 Family Units, each comprising 4 beds.

Each Twin Room is tented and features comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, a minibar, air conditioning, tea and coffee-making facilities, safes, a sala, and a verandah with a luxurious private plunge pool.

The Family Units have inter-leading walkways between the parents' and children’s rooms, both of which are en-suite. Each unit includes comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, a minibar, air conditioning, tea and coffee-making facilities, safes, a sala, and a verandah with a luxurious private plunge pool.

The main lodge consists of a lounge with an open dining area, where the fine dining experience of African cuisine comes to life. The communal deck is set on the edge of the stunning riverside and features a sunken boma area and an infinity pool. Wooden decking floats on the edge of the river and moves with the water level to create the illusion of sailing a boat, helping to achieve a seamless connection between river and land.

Other lodge facilities include a nearby gym, spa, activity desk, library, bar, and complimentary internet access.

Activities offered at the lodge include visits to Victoria Falls, rhino trekking on foot, game drives in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, cultural village visits, sunset river cruises (on a private boat), fishing, canoeing, and visits to the Livingstone Museum.

Thorntree River Lodge is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a luxury Victoria Falls adventure.

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
