Thorntree River Lodge

On the banks of the Zambezi inside Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the stylish Thorntree River Lodge brings you close to the Victoria Falls, one of the world's great natural wonders – and even closer to nature. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck with the Zambezi rushing past. In the evenings, wind down under Africa's vast, starry sky. Thorntree River Lodge is ideal if you wish to combine the thrill of the Victoria Falls with a peaceful riverside stay.

Head out on early morning game drives for sublime wildlife sightings, track rhinos on foot with experienced rangers and experience the magic of a sunrise and sunset river cruise. You can also embark on a canoeing adventure, go catch-and-release fishing and enjoy seasonal birding. Guided visits to the Victoria Falls bring you face-to-face with one of Africa's greatest spectacles. Children of all ages are welcome at Thorntree River Lodge, and younger children can join the Ngwana Club for fun, hands-on nature activities.

The lodge itself is a haven of understated luxury. Between outings, you can relax in the infinity pool that looks out over the water and enjoy your evenings by the firepit. Each suite offers a sense of calm and features a private plunge pool, indoor and outdoor showers as well as a deep soaking tub. There's also a cosy spa and gym in the main area.
