Fantastic experience
Fantastic place, by the river, exceptional chalet with all the comforts, the relaxation and dining areas are also excellent. The added value is the staff: everyone very kind and helpful. Elena, in particular, the manager, is truly professional, always attentive to every need and takes care of everything down to the smallest detail, plus she is very welcoming and nice. Rating 10. We will definitely return
We had a wonderful stay at Thornicroft Lodge and really enjoyed our time in South Luangwa. The team was welcoming, the arrangements were smooth, and the lodge made a great base for exploring the Valley.
A special mention has to go to Cephus, who guided us for part of our safari. As wildlife photographers, we really appreciated his experience, knowledge of animal behavior, and understanding of light and vehicle positioning. He helped us find the wild dogs and consistently worked hard to put us in the best possible position for photography.
We appreciated all the guides we met, but Cephus brought a noticeably different level of experience and photographic awareness, and the days with him were some of the highlights of our trip.

Great Safari Experience for photographers
We had a very enjoyable stay at Thornicroft Lodge and would like to thank the whole team for hosting us during our time in South Luangwa. The lodge was a comfortable base for exploring the area, and everyone we met was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. For us, one of the biggest highlights was having the opportunity to spend several days with Cephus as our guide. We came primarily for wildlife photography, and his experience made a real difference. He has an excellent understanding of animal behavior, knows the Valley extremely well, and also understands what photographers are looking for in terms of light, angle, timing, and vehicle position. He was able to independently locate the wild dogs for us and repeatedly put us in very good positions for photographs. What stood out most was his ability to anticipate both the animals and the photographic opportunity, rather than simply getting us to a sighting. We appreciated the guides we worked with during the trip, but Cephus brought a noticeably different level of field experience and photographic awareness. Unfortunately, because of his schedule, we only had him for part of the safari, but those days ended up being some of the most memorable of our entire South Luangwa trip.

Beautiful Lodge
We spent 8 days on an art safari at this Lodge, sketching and painting wildlife and the landscape. The Lodge is right on the Luangwa River. The guides were knowledgeable and the friendly staff could not have been more accommodating. Food was delicious and varied and the cabins were clean and comfortable.
