Thorntree has 10 double or twin tented suites, each with a cosy lounge opening out to a private deck and plunge pool. Inside, there's a wonderful sense of space beneath the pitched canvas roofs, and wide glass panels along the sides make the most of the fabulous river views. Bathrooms are en-suite, with a roll-top bath and outdoor shower. A further two suites with two adjoining bedrooms and a private plunge pool are perfect for families.
Thorntree River Lodge is owned by African Bush Camps who has been dedicated to improving the lives of communities near their camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Focused on education, empowerment, and conservation, they tackle challenges like unemployment, food scarcity, and wildlife poaching. With a commitment to sustainability, they cover operating costs, ensuring that every guest's stay directly supports their impactful projects, fostering a partnership to preserve Africa's natural heritage. A contribution of $85 per guest, which is included in the nightly rate, goes towards the above goals.
