Enjoy our 200-seater restaurant serving healthy and fresh international and local foods, a bar, viewing deck where you can spot elephants, a beauty salon, swimming pool, fire pit, and indigenous landscaped gardens.

The 96 roomed Shearwater Explorers Village is a superb 3 star Lodge situated only 400m from the Victoria Falls.
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.
So location is certainly a primary benefit, along with amazing gardens supporting fantastic birdlife, great ambience & cuisine and true value for money.

Helicopter Rides
|
It’s time to whip out your bucket list. There’s no better way to see the scale, magnificence and beauty of the Victoria Falls than from the air. But it’s not just the Falls that you’ll see from a different angle. Depending on the flight you choose, you will take a whirl around the Batoka Gorge, the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Zambezi River, before flying over the Zambezi National Park where you’ll have the opportunity to spot game from up above. All helicopters have specially developed bubble windows for the best views possible, and middle seats are not sold, so guests are guaranteed uninterrupted views. The helipad is five minutes from town, it’s the closest in Victoria Falls, so you’ll be over the Falls almost immediately after take-off. You will also be picked up for free from any hotel or lodge within the Victoria Falls town area. |
White-water Rafting

No white water compares to the Zambezi. This is the most exciting, electrifying and adrenaline-fuelled rafting experience in the world. As the original rafting pioneers in Victoria Falls, our white water history dates back to 1985. The guides are the best in the business as they’ve been on this river during all seasons and know the rapids better than anyone. |

Ready to feel the adrenaline coursing through you while our Adventure Jetboat captains plot a course through the Zambezi? Our 465 horsepower, specially-made Adventure Jetboat will take you up the rapids and right under the Falls into the Boiling Pot. The true power and intensity of the Falls can only be felt as you view them from below, covered in their spray. After leaving the Boiling Pot, it’s time for a fast-paced thrill ride, up and down the rapids as you speed through the Batoka Gorge. Because safety comes first, our Jetboat was purpose-built for the Zambezi and our captains have been specially trained. They’ll make sure you have the experience of a lifetime and then they’ll get you home safely. |
