We stayed here during our honeymoon in May 2009 - had a wonderful time - great food, great service, excellent location & beautiful room. Very "olden day" type feel to the place which made it all the more romantic. More

From the pick-up at the airport and the 'conducted tour' on the way to the lodge, the friendliness of the Zambians was so evident,we knew we were going to have a memorable stay. The reception at the lodge was warm and we were pleasantly surprised by our room. A beautiful view of the Zambezi, and an open air shower, with... More

The lodge is in the middle of the park, 10 km outside Livingstone, there are no barriers in the park so you can easily see elephants or hippos very close to your room. The lodge is very quiet, close to the lion walk and elephant ride. It is an all inclusive, so you can have drinks 24 hours, all meals... More

Stayed here for 5 nights August 2011 and had a great time. Unlike game lodges where people go to bed early for dawn game drives, life is calmer here. Despite the cooler winter nights (jumper needed some nights) people stayed after dinner and chatted or played cards at the bar. We made some great friends. All rooms look out on... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, while exploring Livingstone & Victoria Falls; we wish it had been longer. The lodge is beautifully located on the river banks. All rooms have a lovely outside sitting area, although the open-air lodge is very inviting to relax, talk to other guests, or plan your next adventure w Natalie's expertise to guide you. Lunch...

This small lodge offers the best of all possible worlds with beautiful, private and romantic bungalows and the option for congenial company along with fabulous food at the large round dining table. The location is perfect: it is out of town and on the Zambezi, but the drives to the falls and other locations are not long. The staff, from... More

Booked at Thorntree via Gateway Travel, good flights on 1 time but unfortunately left waiting at Livingstone airport for one and a half hours due to Shearwater Adventures not collecting us. Natalie from the lodge eventually collected us and then one of the most pleasurable holidays we've ever had begun. The position and type of rooms is excellent with everything... More

I cant believe I am saying this, Zambia is my favourite place on earth, and its all because of Thorntree River Lodge. As soon as I arrived, lovely Natalie and her husband Willem were there, waiting to great us. The driver who came to collect us from the airport had a huge welcoming smile across his face. The staff was... More
