Shearwater Explorers Village

The main lodge is mostly open-air, set beneath a thatched roof and furnished with powder-blue couches, slouchy deck chairs and lots of artwork. Relax in the lounge with a book from their collection or grab a drink from the bar to enjoy beside the two-tier pool. The Shearwater Cafe serves fabulous dishes including freshly-caught Zambezi Bream, aged Zimbabwean steaks and crocodile wasabi wraps - as well as a more continental selection! If you're in need of some pampering, the spa offers soothing massages.

There is a variety of rooms and thatched chalets across the 'Village'. They are well-lit and simply but effectively decorated in shades of sage-green, yellow and khaki. Palm motifs adorn the walls and little details like leaf-shaped, hand-woven light fixtures are very pretty. Each room has double or twin beds with a mossie net (if needed), USB charging points, air-con, and a private veranda and sitting area. The bathrooms feature a rain shower and large mirror. There is also the option of camping in one of the dome tents.
