A guide enters the park in the early morning and for me it’s a thrill daily. As a guide I have always told my guests, whether they are with me…
Pythons are found in all tropical and temperate areas almost everywhere across the world. I think North America is the only place that does not really have an indigenous python…
Arun was an amazing guide from the moment he picked us up to the moment we parted ways on our multi-day Kruger trip. It always seemed like he knew exactly where to be, when to be there. We had many many Leopard sightings, along with Wild Dogs, Cheetah, and everything in between! On top of his amazing guiding in the bush, he was a heck of a chef as well, taking care of us on the Brai for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
We really enjoyed our time with Arun, turning from our guide on day one, to someone I consider a friend still today!
Excellent arrangements from day one to till we reach joberg.stay was very pleasant in four different sites from joberg to Kruger then Kruger to joberg.we sighted all big fives to our satisfaction.almost 50 to 60 lions that to two lions busy with breakfast.cheetas and leopard 4 numbers.elephants arround 2k and buffaloes. In addition I learnt so many things from our boss arun sir extraordinary knowledge in wild life really amazing.He knows nook and corner of Kruger and he knows almost all birdswith names and its biological name and its features really amazing knowledge.The hospitality what we received is really good everyday morning we use to have our breakfast fast in the middle of the jungle and when we come back he will cook excellent south Indian foods.so we felt as if we r in India .To highlight we have seen secretary bird all eagles vultures and so many African birds for every bird he gives excellent information reg it’s habitat and life style .To be honest I felt travelling with an encyclopedia.

Splendid Arrangements for My Dream Kruger Park Safari
My recent Kruger Park safari was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the meticulous and professional arrangements by Mr Arun Rao of dreadlion safari. From start to finish, every aspect of the trip was well-organized, ensuring an economical yet enriching experience. The planning was seamless, making it incredibly easy to enjoy the stunning wildlife without any hassle.
What truly stood out was the guide — knowledgeable, professional, and no-nonsense. Their deep understanding of the wildlife and the park’s ecosystem enriched the entire journey. They focused on giving us an authentic and educational experience, without any unnecessary distractions.
The trip was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Whether it was spotting the Big Five or simply soaking in the natural beauty, every moment was memorable, thanks to the impeccable attention to detail. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore kruger .
A friend of mine had recommended Arun when I mentioned we were looking to go to Kruger back in February 2019. He had a fellow guide meet us and bring us into the park. Then we spent several days exploring all over Kruger with him. Heading out early in the morning and late in the day. Arun arranged our accommodations and was well versed in where animals were likely to be. He was a pleasant person to spend time with. We enjoyed his deep knowledge of the park and all its inhabitants.
We travelled to South Africa in April of 2016 for 10 days.
We planned our trip with Arun. He & I go back a long way, we were schoolmates. So, he was our friend, guide (& philosopher sometimes)😄
We started our tour from Johannesberg – Kruger. We flew to Cape Town, rented a car & did the Garden Route covering Simon’s Town, Cape Point, Mossel Bay, Knysna, Port Elizabeth & it turned out to be excellent!
Arun is very passionate about his work. He is an ocean of knowledge on all things related to wildlife, geography, & all related areas. It is a delight to go on safaris with him. Being a very good photographer himself, he parks at vantage points so we can get very good pics. He is at his best in the wilderness.
It helps that he is also multi-lingual. Also the fact that he has knowledge of sign language, he is able to do tours for hearing & speech impaired clients!
We highly recommend touring with Arun & his company, Dreadlion Safaris. You will not regret it. Our 5 stars to Arun!
