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…

Reviews

In September 24, we had an amazing Kruger trip with Arun. Instead of 6 persons planned, we only 3 people went. Arun is such a magnanimous person, he didn’t allow any shortfall in our comfort. We had wonderful stay, night party every single day and we took lot of amazing photos of animals and birds of Africa. Arun is encyclopedia of animals and birds. Like chatGPT, u get instantaneous info…. And the driver is too friendly person…. I’m longing for another trip with Arun and Co.

Arun had organised a wonderful and excellent trip to Cambodia and Vietnam.Starting from the day we left Bangalore for Phnom Penh till we returned to Bangalore,all along it was an excellent arrangement.This is the first time I travelled with Arun and the group,and I am very much impressed by Arun for his professional and organizational skills,and above all he is very kind and humane person.Organising good and comfortable hotels to stay,providing veg. meals,and giving each one with lots of goodies to munch while travelling,buying jackfruit carpels for everyone.Thank you Arun , we had a very enjoyable and memorable trip of 12 days, and looking forward to more trips with Arun and the group.

We , a group of 12 seniors, recently returned from an unforgettable journey through Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos ( Luang Prabang and Vientiane) , Indonesia ( Bali and Yogyakarta) , expertly organized by Arun & Dreadlion Safari.

Each country offered a unique blend of culture, history and natural beauty:

.Cambodia, Angkor Wat , resilient people and rich history.

.Vietnam, vibrant cities, stunning Ha long Bay, Ho Chi Ming city and delicious Indian cuisine.

.Laos , Serene landscapes , tranquil atmosphere and warm hospitality.

.Indonesia ( Bali & Yogyakarta)

Enchanting temples , breathtaking beaches, and vibrant culture.

Arun’s meticulous planning and attention to detail and passion for travel made this trip truly special.

This was our second trip with Arun and Dreadlion Safari , and we’re already planning the next one !

Highly recommend Dreadlion Safari for a seamless, enjoyable, and memorable travel experience!”

Thanks to Arun we had memorable and enjoyable trip.

This is the first time I have traveled with Arun and the group. He is an excellent organiser taking care of all minute details. And at the same time flexible to the needs of the group. I have traveled with many tour guides but very few can be so thorough with the places of interest. He is a very kind person. I never felt that I was traveling with a tour guide. Rather it felt traveling with a well informed family member. When I boarded the flight back home at Hanoi airport I felt I should travel more with Arun
