LUXURIOUS RIVERSIDE ACCOMMODATION
Gracing the banks of the Zambezi, within a stone’s throw of the thunderous Victoria Falls, is the beautiful Thorntree River Lodge.
Located on the Livingstone side of the famous falls, Thorntree serves up luxurious riverside accommodation in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Though airy and contemporary in style, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a cool colour palette,
design cues for the lodge were taken from local culture and customs in order to maintain an authentic African feel. The 10 suites all boast sumptuous private plunge pools that you can sink into after your 4×4 safari or river excursion.
Alongside daily trips to the Victoria Falls, guests enjoy access to a variety of activities, from cultural visits to sunset cruises, fishing, birding and rhino-tracking excursions. The sunken boma on the lodge’s expansive wooden deck provides a wonderful setting to enjoy a drink or romantic dinner as the sun goes down. Meanwhile, the adjacent infinity pool offers the perfect respite from the midday heat. There is also a spa with enchanting river views, as well as a gym and a small library where you can catch up on some reading.
