The Lodge blends naturally into the riverine vegetation and commands superb river views from its main deck and private verandas.

Welcoming drinks and excellent cuisine are enjoyed from the centrally situated lounge and dining area. There is also a swimming pool with a water level bar and a thatched lapa in which to simply relax during the heat of the day. An assortment of pre-dinner snacks are prepared on the deck at sun downer time, when guests can enjoy the Zambezi's famous sunsets and perhaps watch the regular procession of elephant as they follow an age old migration route that runs directly in front of the Lodge. 

At Thorntree River Lodge, as at all other Safari Par Excellence lodges, clients are served three full meals a day. All food, meat and vegetables are fresh, prepared and served to the highest standards by our fully experienced chefs and waiters.

Whilst at the Lodge, all drinks ranging from cordials and soft drinks to beer and spirits are supplied. Imported red and white wines are served with the three-course dinners.

Thorntree River Lodge's riverside location and its unique position with the National Park allows for a wide choice of activities, including sunset cruises, game-drives, cultural tours, fishing and of course visits to the Falls themselves. The Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park is a sanctuary for white rhino as well as a haven for many other species including giraffe, sable, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo and a wide variety of birds.
