Pioneering spirit since 1982.

Whether a helicopter flights over the mighty Victoria Falls; an adrenalin rush leaping off the Victoria Falls Bridge; a relaxing cruise on the Zambezi; a high-speed jet boat ride under the Falls; a theatrical and historic bridge tour; a grade five rafting adventure or a game walk in the Zambezi National Park, we can help you create the memories that will last a lifetime.

  • “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.”

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.”
