The Lodge

Thorntree River Lodge

Nestled gracefully within its enchanting river backdrop, Thorntree River Lodge takes its design cues from Zambia's rich local heritage. Eight tented rooms and four family units sprawl along the riverbanks, offering sophisticated interiors featuring both indoor and al fresco bathrooms, alongside inviting private plunge pools.

Guests savor delectable meals in an open-air dining haven, complete with an intimate wine cellar for special moments. The lodge's library beckons bookworms, while the gym awaits fitness enthusiasts, and a spa pampers with breathtaking river vistas. An expansive deck at the river's edge unveils a sunken boma for outdoor dining and a captivating infinity pool. An alluring wooden deck extends seamlessly into the river, melding the boundaries of earth and water. Activities encompass Victoria Falls tours, village excursions, sunset river cruises, angling, and visits to the Livingstone Museum.
