Very nice facilities and staff could not be more helpful. Room on the small side but had an outside seating and with the other facilities available the room was only used for sleeping.

The property is beautiful, staff are outstanding and anything is possible just ask for it. My sandals sole went undone due to the heat and the staff fixed them within 20 mins. Amazing service. Only points are that the chalettes are not noise isolating so you hear everything around you and humidity smell is real. But it is a great place and amazing value for money.

The property is very pretty, the sheets nice and crisp - a couple of things detracted from our stay. Even though many of the rooms had been cleaned from those who vacated that morning, ( evidenced by the housekeeping cart locations ) staff made us sit in the lobby for 3 hours " check in is 2 pm " Surely 1 room was clean after 2 hours ..... When pressed they finally gave us a room....the furthest away room by the construction site and power tool Noise Finally changed and at the pool for an hour when going for a shower discover there is NO hot water ( long hair wet, full of shampoo ) and only cold water ( other guests had the same issue ) We booked a fairly expensive dinner cruise and activity director could not provide details other than price and pick up time ( menu options, buffet or plated.... ) The offer was made to store beverages in their fridges and when the Time to retrieve them, the bag could Not be located

Staff are very unhelpful. Each department pushes responsibility on to the next. As a customer you always feel you are being scammed especially when it comes to cash transactions. Nobody has change. This is in an effort to make you give up and not ask for change.

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.
