Askari Game Lodge is a 4 star graded game lodge offering Doornhoek accommodation in 48 guest rooms.
Askari Game Lodge & Spa is situated on the Plumari Private Game Reserve in the Magaliesberg, just over an hour from Johannesburg or Pretoria and offers guests a memorable Big 5 wildlife experience within a malaria-free environment.
The Reserve is set within a pristine wilderness of 6800 hectares with natural African Bushveld and an abundance of flora, fauna, bird and wildlife.
The Main Lodge overlooks the Elephant Dam and invites guests to take a step back in time while admiring South African dιcor pieces dating back to the 1800s. Slipper baths, wash stands, luggage chests, antique Oregon cupboards and tables are subtly placed within the surrounding, to emphasize the captivating history of the Magaliesberg area.
Askari Lodge has one of the largest private collections of ox wagons, carts and other animal drawn vehicles from the period 1800 1900. A variety of stone and iron-age artefacts, items from the SA War and San Bushmen rock carvings tell the history of the area, which is also known for the Battle of Nooitgedacht. Examples are available in the Museum and guided Bush Walks take guests through areas where many stone carvings (petroglyphs) can be found.
Askari Game Lodge & Spa caters for romantic getaways, conferences, teambuilding initiatives, training courses and weddings in its 48 rooms, the Main Lodge and the Day Visitors Centre.
Nature lovers and birding enthusiasts will find the experience most rewarding, while stressed city dwellers will leave feeling rejuvenated and well-rested.

Askari Lodge is an excellent break away holiday destination. Outstanding service from all staff. Excellent food. A beautiful setting where you can relax and unwind. Abundant wildlife and a great variety of game is one of the highlights and a game drive is highly recommended. Meeting the elephants an experiencing them close up is an incredible experience. Well worth a visit.

We spent a night at Askari lodge for our Honeymoon and it was absolutely breath taking. Food was top class and such a pleasant atmosphere. The staff treated us like gems and they didnt even know it was our honeymoon night untill we told them. The room was clean, the spa treatment was just a way to calm down the long and exciting day. Upon checking out we heard that they have two beautiful elephants that come say hi.. That was an experience that neither my wife or i could have imagined. Will definitely be going there again for anniversaries and also evem a family holiday... My kids will love it there. THANK YOU ASKARI AND STAFF!
