Shearwater Explorers Village

Explorers Village is a superb Lodge situated only 400m from the Victoria Falls, 54 deluxe rooms (4-Star), 42 standard rooms (3-Star) and also offers some serviced camping facilities.

It is so close to the Falls that it occasionally receives an early morning shower from the Falls spray. The property overlooks virgin African bush and a waterhole frequently visited by elephant and buffalo and yet it is very near the craft markets and entertainment district.

"Crisply decorated rooms. Loved the unique touches like the sliding barn door to the bathroom, color palette, and light fixture. It was always spotlessly clean. Nice outdoor seating and planter of succulents and stones outside each room. The thatched roofs on the buildings are a really cute touch."
Visitor from Virginia USATrip Advisor
“Everyone…who walked in was made to feel like ‘royalty’. The attentiveness and engagement of staff was admirable. The Food too was yummy. Our room was very clean and freshly decorated. The fact that we had an aircon and a coffee station as well as bar fridge was just a pleasant surprise! Well done to the Team at Explorers for looking after us."
John DoeTrip Advisor
“A perfect way to finish the holidays. Lovely pool, bar and restaurant facilities. Staff helpful and friendly. Rooms very nice blend of old style features with new furniture. You can pay by card, so no need to worry about having right currency. A little paradise, and perfect base to explore the Victoria Falls.”
