Arun Rao is an excellent tour guide and a fantastic trip organizer. We had a fantastic trip to Kruger national park, Johannesburg, Capetown and the Victoria falls. Twelve of us, all senior citizens had a wonderful enjoyable time and he catered to all our needs. His knowledge of the places is excellent and he made sure that we saw all the animals in the park. It was a throughly enjoyable trip. We plan to go for more trips with him as our guide and trip organizer. Hey Arun , you are the best.
April 2024 was our trip to South Africa (Kruger national park, Johannesburg, Victoria falls and Cape Town) . When my cousin proposed for this trip last October, I was a bit apprehensive in the beginning as I didn’t know much about our co ordinator , Mr. Arun. But then, looking at the group of 12 , I wondered why not take a chance right ?
It turned out, if I had not gone, I would have missed a great opportunity.
Our trip was planned for 14 days and the planning was so custom built, just as Mr. Arun of dreadlion safaris promised us, we had to reach Johannesburg and that’s it until we boarded the flight back after the trip. He had done wonderful arrangements for accommodation, food, travel, sight seeing and what not . All of us (age group from 63 to 85) had the most enjoyable and memorable time of our lives.
Mr. Arun took care so that we didn’t miss even a single wild animal in the Kruger . Infact after 2 days when we all had lost hope of finding our last carnivore of lions, Arun made it a point to take us to the inner , not so covered roads and made sure we had ample sighting of the lions. That was remarkable indeed.
I can go on and on our memories of victoria falls, cape point , his culinary skills so much to pen. Overall, I highly recommend Mr.Arun’s arrangements and don’t miss an opportunity when you get a chance under his guidance.
Arun was exceptional from start to finish. He took care of every detail, arranging comfortable lodging and delicious meals throughout our trip. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, ecosystems, and local culture brought our safari experience to life with fascinating insights and stories.
What truly set him apart was his attentiveness to my elderly parents. He went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and safety, always patient and accommodating to their needs. Whether helping them in and out of the vehicle at Kruger national park or even finding wonderful vegetarian food.for our meals. It allowed my parents to fully enjoy this adventure.
His expertise in tracking animals led us to incredible wildlife sightings, and his respect for nature was evident in every interaction. He answered our endless questions with enthusiasm and clarity, deepening our appreciation for this remarkable environment.
I wholeheartedly recommend this for an unforgettable, educational, and seamlessly organized safari experience with Arun and the Dreadlions Safari.
February 2016, Krueger, South Africa. I met this wonderful man who was interacting with my kid. He offered to take us around. By God, he knows every animal, bird , tree, folklore about the local jungles and traditions. Encyclopedia he is. Best of all, he is most friendly and knows how to take care of people he takes along. I would love send my parents with him.
We had an incredible experience on our South Africa trip, and it’s all thanks to our amazing tour guide, Arun! From the moment we arrived, Arun went above and beyond to ensure our trip was unforgettable.
His extensive knowledge of the region, combined with his passion for sharing its history, culture, and beauty, made each day a new adventure. From stunning natural wonders to vibrant cities, Arun brought everything to life with his insightful commentary and infectious enthusiasm.
His attention to detail, flexibility, and ability to cater to our group’s diverse interests and needs made the trip truly personalized and enjoyable. We felt safe, supported, and inspired throughout our journey.
We cannot recommend Arun enough! If you’re planning a trip to South Africa, look no further. His expertise, warmth, and dedication will make your experience truly unforgettable.
Thank you, Arun, for an adventure of a lifetime!
