We liked the place, but the room was small. The dining room is good with many options on the menu. We also found the Three Monkeys restaurant nearby pretty good.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Michael, 2-night trip

Great central location. Excellent food and the staff were lovely
Kerrie, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The cottages are designed attractively to tourists with a good service and ideal location for Falls. However, Victoria Falls city has far too many street vendors chasing tourists around.

Fußläufig zu den Vicfalls

Das Hotel liegt fußläufig zu dem Eingang der vicfalls. Sehr gepflegte und ansehnliche Anlage. Service aufmerksam, Frühstück sehr umfangreich. Vor Ort kann man noch mehr Aktivitäten buchen. Alles sehr gut organisiert. Alles wird möglich gemacht.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Very central and easy access to brewery, distillery, craft markets, central town and even easy walk to the falls. It’s a large site with many rooms, breakfast can be full but always lots of food and good service.
