Thorntree River Lodge is a luxury lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, upstream from Victoria Falls.
Thorntree is an impressive property and is certainly one of the top options to choose on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. The accommodation is very luxurious with a modern, contemporary style, and will certainly suit anyone seeking luxury and sophistication. With such comfort provided and the beautiful location on the Zambezi River, it is easy to imagine a few days relaxing here! Management and staff are very friendly, whilst service is efficient and food is excellent. Despite the high standards, Thorntree does manage to maintain a relaxed, typically ‘Zambian’ feel which adds to the appeal.
