Thornicroft Lodge offers several activities. Game drives are included in the package. All other activities can be arranged with your booking or most of the time during your stay in Thornicroft Lodge.

Game drives (also called safari):

Most people who visit Africa are attracted by the adventure of a safari in unspoiled nature, in between all the animals they watched on TV. Thornicroft Lodge is the start of your African adventure.

The morning safaris start at 6.00 am and return in the lodge around 10.00 o clock. The night safari leaves at 4.00 pm and around 8 pm you are back in the lodge for diner.

Our experienced guides drive you in our specially modified 4x4's through the national park and try to show you all you hope to see during your safari. They like to share their knowledge about flora and fauna with their guests.

Walking safaris 

On request you can do a walking safari or a combination of walking and driving.

You can arrange the walking safari with your booking or at least one day in advance, because we need to hire an additional scout  for this activity. We recommend to wear good (hiking) shoes.

Visit Tribal Textile
The lodge also offers a visit to the Tribal Textile workshop. Next to the workshop the local people have their handy craft "shops" with woodcarving, reed baskets and other local arts.

Visit Kawaza Village

Kawaza Village is home to villagers of the Kunda tribe. Kawaza offers travellers the opportunity to visit a genuine Zambian rural village and to get involved with local people and village life. Kawaza is a unique experience for travellers to Zambia. As such it is the winner of the prestigious Silver Otter Award, given to the Best Overseas Tourism Project by the British Guild of Travel Writers.

The Personal Touch

To complement the safari experience and the “back to nature” feeling for the safari guest, The Personal Touch is proud to offer a variety of holistic massage and Spa therapies in the Luangwa Valley. A range of quality (massage) treatments is available and carried out in the privacy of your lodge’s relaxed surroundings. Or even better; continue your game-viewing while visiting the Bush-Spa inside the South Luangwa National Park!
Right here in the bush of Mfuwe, there’s a myriad of various massages and Spa treatments on offer. Some are traditional favourites that you will find practiced the world over, whilst others are original fusions of them, adapted and suited for pure relaxation in the bush!
