Thorntree River Lodge

Overview

Refined riverside sanctuary

Set along the Zambezi River in Mosi‑oa‑Tunya National Park, Thorntree River Lodge blends serene waterfront living with contemporary luxury. The lodge has eight luxury suites and two family suites – all elevated on riverfront decks, each offering private plunge pools, indoor–outdoor bathrooms, and panoramic river views.

Shared spaces include a riverside infinity pool, boma firepit, bar and lounge areas, spa and gym, beautifully framed by native mahogany and fig trees. Daily rhythms are centred on river- and land-based safaris: game drives, rhino tracking, cultural visits, canoeing, sunset river cruises, fishing, birding, and optional visits to both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides of Victoria Falls. Helicopter flights over the falls offer a spectacular finale.
