About
This golden safari is quite unique from other safaris such as the Chobe and Hwange National Parks day trips,due to the close proximity of the Zambezi National Park and Chamabondo National Park situated just six kilometres up river from the Victoria Falls. Chamabondo National Park is 8km south of the Victoria Falls town so there is no need for the long drive of 80kms to the over marketed Chobe National Park or 180 kms to Hwange National Park. There is an abundance of both animals and bird life is prolific particularly along the banks of the Zambezi.
The following animals can be seen: lions,leopards,elephants,buffalos ,giraffes ,elands , hippopotamus ,kudus ,hyaenas ,waterbucks , sables ,warthogs ,baboons as well as many other species.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- DaFakeIndian0 contributions💚 ChamabondoI love this game drive. Didnt see the big five but definitely saw Eland sable elephants cape buffalo 3 spotted hyenas zebra wildebeest giraffe. Took me bout 3drives to see them and hoping to see the predators but not one due to the heat. Its summer oct -jan. But i heard that ppl have seen lions and leopards during the same time period. Just not on my drives😪. Cant wait to go back and enjoy the beauty of animals in their natural habitat again in May.Written January 24, 2020
- etumali0 contributionsAmazing experience in Victoria FallsVictoria Falls is an amazing place with so many unique natural wonders and beauty. Eddie and William helped organize our trip to maximize our experience to see so much of what the region has to offer. From the game drive in Chobe National Park to the Walk with Lions and swim in the Devil's pool, everything was well done. From our initial contact to our final goodbyes, Eddie made sure everything was in order. He responded quickly to my emails and made great recommendations for local restaurants. I would highly recommend African Exodus Safaris to help organize your visit to the region.Written January 15, 2020
- NewbieNewbie0 contributionsEverything is CoveredEddie helped our group of more than 30 tourists (ages 11-83) completely set up with lodging, Victoria Falls experiences on both the Zambia and Zimbabwe sides, and the full day Chobe Safari as well as individual experiences and dining memories. He worked great deals for us and provided reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly service. If he did this for our unique group, I know he can handle all kinds of groups as well as individuals. If you go with this team, you'll be glad you did.Written July 15, 2019

We booked this safari to round out our honeymoon, and even though January isn't a great time to see loads of animals, Eddie and Peter made the most of it.
We booked the full day, and purely by bad luck, we didn't see many big animals -- just two elephants, some zebra and a handful of giraffes. Eddie felt so bad, because he had seen hundreds of elephants the day before, so he offered us a complimentary drive the next day for a few hours, where we then saw many more animals.
This is the itinerary:
1. 4ish hours in Zambezi National Park in the morning, where you drive around and spot all kinds of wild animals and enjoy the views. Water and drinks are provided, and the car is covered from the sun.
2. A lunch cruise on the river. This was, by far, our least favorite portion of the day. The river is lovely, but the captain is exhausting. He calls himself Captain Fantastic, he never stops talking, and he is not exactly in tune with Western culture. He made my wife serve me my food and kept saying how she was doing well in her training and would make a good wife, then he piled on a bunch of honeymoon sex jokes that were just tiresome. He also kept pointing out things we clearly didn't care about, like the boat club and various hotels and restaurants, instead of just letting us enjoy the serenity of the river and observe the wildlife. He had good intentions, but it was incredibly awkward and we both immediately agreed it was the worst part of the day.
3. A drive through a different park, with manmade watering holes meant to lure elephants. (I believe they would take to you Vic Falls before this drive, but because we had already gone the day before, we skipped this.)
4. Dinner at a touristy (but entertaining) restaurant with drumming and dancing. Note: The food is paid for, but you cover all drinks.
5. Drop you back off at your hotel/lodge.
All in all, a really positive experience, especially given the time of year. The only piece of advice to Eddie would be to educate or replace Captain Fantastic.

This was an excellent trip. Eddie served as a phenomenal guide. His knowledge of animals, history, and geography amazed me. I highly recommend using this company when you want to see the wildlife in Zambezi National Park!

New to African Wild life & Game drives; this was our first, but phenomenal experience in one of large African National parks after Masai Mara & Kruger! Understood Zambezi & Victoria National Park’s together covers almost 56,000 hectares of sprawling forest encompassing Zambezi river that runs most of the length that this National Park covers; bordering both Zambia & Zimbabwe. Glad to be in company with Eddie, our Safari Captain/Guide who with his experience, knowledge & connections really amazed us & A Safari Ride to remember. In the 4x4 vehicle that could accommodate 10 pax; it was just me & my wife that morning. His working knowledge of wild animals, flora/fauna of African National park was more than handy, as we enjoyed, eagerly trying to spot wildlife from our 4x4 Safari. We could see Zambia at stones throwing distance from our Game Drive route.
Having visited some National parks in India, Zambezi presented us totally different Wildlife experience. Apart from not being able to spot Lions, Leopards that are part of fauna there, we were lucky to sight most of the wildlife present there including Giraffes, Zebra’s, Impalas, Antelopes, water buck, wild Boars, Crocs basking in the sun on the Zamebzi river. Were eager to see African Elephants for the first time, but couldn't spot till then. Eddie wanted to make sure we wait lil more for an opportune time to see them and so did a de-tour, but we stumbled upon a challenge as our vehicle got stuck when he was trying to show Footprints left by Lions that had crossed there. Appreciable also were his good connections with staff/friends from rescue teams, perseverance to find network & to reach out for help brought us courage while we waited over 45 mins inside the thick forest. We heard more of his experience & also spotted helicopters hovering over the jungle. As we started our tour again, much to our & Eddie’s relief we could also spot herd of famous/wonderful African Elephants crossing in front on their way back after quenching their thirst & bathing at Zambezi river. Eddie showed great signs of is knowledge & experience of Game Drives to spot animals in their natural habitat, knowing pattern of their movements & timing they venture from their hiding, for water or prey, giving us a great tour of the Wildlife /Park.
Prior to his Safari, Eddie also coordinated very well with his other contact who had taken us earlier in the morning for Sunrise River Cruise at Zambezi River so that we optimize our time available to do River cruise, Safari & Vic Falls Walk.
It’s a must do for all wild life enthusiasts. There are various modes, Time options available to experience wild life safaris. Prepare with paraphernalia to spend good time inside the forest & enjoy the most! We recommend Eddie and book Africa Exodus Safari for such experience! It was time spent worthwhile that we enjoyed every bit.
