Where in Africa shall we go?

A Riverside Haven Where Luxury Meets Adventure
Set along the pristine banks of the Zambezi River, within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Thorntree River Lodge offers a sophisticated retreat blending contemporary luxury with an authentic African safari experience. Located just a short distance from Victoria Falls, this eco-conscious hideaway provides an unparalleled setting for those seeking tranquility, adventure, and world-class hospitality.

The lodge features eight elegantly designed tented suites and two spacious family suites, each meticulously designed to offer comfort, exclusivity, and a seamless connection to nature. Every suite boasts a private plunge pool, a spacious deck overlooking the river, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, ensuring breathtaking panoramic views. Thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor bathrooms, accented with natural materials and contemporary furnishings, provide a harmonious balance between modern indulgence and the untamed wilderness.

Dining at Thorntree River Lodge is a celebration of African flavors and international culinary excellence. The open-air restaurant offers seasonal, locally sourced cuisine, while the communal deck—featuring an inviting infinity pool and an Acacia firepit—creates the perfect setting for sunset cocktails and fireside storytelling under the vast African sky. Guests can also unwind in the boutique wellness spa or enjoy a fully equipped gym, ensuring holistic relaxation amid the beauty of Zambia’s wilderness.

Beyond the lodge, bespoke safari adventures await. Guests can explore the region through guided game drives, walking safaris, and rhino-tracking excursions, encountering abundant wildlife in their natural habitat. Sunset cruises, canoe safaris, and catch-and-release fishing provide an intimate way to experience the Zambezi’s rich ecosystem. For those in pursuit of extraordinary perspectives, helicopter flights over Victoria Falls and private excursions to both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides of the Falls offer unforgettable encounters with one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.
