Thorntree River Lodge is located on the majestic Zambezi River above the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. The eclectic mix of local African culture and contemporary influences gives the lodge a pleasant lightness. The main building with its large veranda, infinty pool and floating fire pit, as well as the eight double rooms and two family rooms are lined up along the riverbank. The rooms all have their own small plunge pool and, depending on weather and preference, guests use the indoor or outdoor shower on the private terrace.

Thorntree River Lodge is located just twenty minutes upstream from famous Victoria Falls within the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park.

Thorntree River Lodge is an ideal place to begin or end a safari and explore the Victoria Falls area. Although it is not a traditional safari lodge, elephants can often be seen in the Zambezi National Park opposite and hippo are regularly seen and heard in the river itself.

Game drives are offered into the nearby Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park where there is an abundance of general game species like buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and impala. There is also a chance of finding one of the rare rhinos. The rhinos are watched around the clock but visitors are allowed to leave the vehicle and get close to these magnificent creatures.
