Askari Game Lodge and Spa

Destination

West Rand

The Plumari Africa Game Reserve, in which Askari Lodge is situated, comprises a pristine malaria free wilderness area of over 3000 hectares. The Reserve boasts an amazing natural African bushveld with an abundance of bird - and wildlife. Two Big 5 game drives, each approximately two and a half hours in duration, are scheduled daily. Late afternoon drives include a sundowner, with a fantastic view towards the end of the drive. Our accompanied bush walks offer guests an ideal opportunity to learn more about the fauna and flora of the region, as well as discover some of the smaller inhabitants of our reserve. Previously known as Plumari Game Lodge, the lodge will be trading as Askari Game Lodge from January 2010. The name change coincides with a number of exciting expansions which will be taking place at the lodge over the next few months. With immediate effect the room capacity will be increased, while retaining the current nostalgic look and feel of the lodge. In celebration of the rich history of the area, Askari Game Lodge has a Market Day on the first Sunday of every month, where guests and visitors can enjoy home-made ginger beer, old fashioned sweets, crafts and good food from 10h00 till 2h00. The craft market tables are set amongst the ox-wagon collection and inside the Plumari Heritage Museum and makes for an wonderful Sunday out in the countryside.
