Thorntree River Camp

An opulent lodge nestled within the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park

Thorntree River Camp

Located just 20 minutes from Victoria Falls, Thorntree River Lodge is perfect for those seeking a memorable family safari with a touch of elegance. 

Perched on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River and inspired by local architecture, the main lodge subtly blends the features of an authentic bushcamp, such as the acacia firepit and game-viewing deck, with a luxurious infinity pool and elegant dining room.

The two luxury family suites are designed with comfort and privacy in mind, featuring interleading rooms, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, and a private plunge pool. Parents and children alike can enjoy stunning river views from their suite’s deck, creating a tranquil retreat after a day of exploration.

Families are spoiled for choice with the array of activities at Thorntree. Whether it’s canoeing along the Zambezi, embarking on a rhino-tracking adventure in the national park, or enjoying a sunset river cruise, each experience brings you closer to Africa’s wild beauty.

The lodge’s proximity to Victoria Falls allows for thrilling excursions to one of the world’s natural wonders, while cultural village visits offer a unique opportunity to learn about local traditions. For young explorers, the Ngwana Club provides fun and educational activities tailored to kids, ensuring that every family member has an unforgettable time in this remarkable wilderness.
