We loved our stay at Shearwater Explorers Village - 10/10 for sure! The property was immaculately clean, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, and our room was perfect with the mosquito net to keep us safe from bites at night. Most of all we loved the staff - reception, cleaning staff, activities staff, bartenders and restaurant servers were incredibly warm and friendly. They were what makes Shearwater Explorers Village the perfect place to stay when visiting Victoria Falls. We highly recommend staying at Shearwater Explorers Village.

Shearwater was relaxing and comfortable, but I was bothered that the staff would never help me with smaller bills even though you see other guests constantly paying with cash.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here as we were within walking distance of the Victoria Falls Rainforest. The staff was kind and attentive, and the grounds were beautiful. Unfortunately our AirCon broke and dripped water on the bed but aside from that our stay was great. Would highly recommend!
