Located in Zambia's Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, or otherwise known as "The Smoke That Thunders", sits the authentic African Thorntree River Lodge.
Children aged 7–11 years can share with two adults and will pay 50% of the full adult rate.
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.

Lana has been exceptional
Lana has been exceptional! From the moment I contacted her she understood my needs as a traveler and put together a short but perfect itinerary. I will be contacting her again when I do the Tanzania trip next year

Excellent planning service
We’ve had a wonderful experience planning our Africa safari with Safari.com. Lana Goodwin has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process—answering our many questions, offering honest advice, and helping us craft the ideal itinerary for our family. We really appreciated Safari.com’s wide network of accommodation providers, which gave us the flexibility to “mix and match” based on our preferences and budget. Looking forward to our trip and grateful for the thoughtful planning behind it!

Thank you Lana Goodwin and Safari.com
Lana has been super helpful in addressing all our needs in timely manner. Due to her efforts, be believe we are going to have a great trip. Safari.com needs to get better exchange rate as well as lower the credit card payment fees. We were charged in excess of 3% plus bit higher exchange rate.
