Plumari Africa Game Reserve in which Askari Lodge & Spa is situated, comprises a
malaria free wilderness area of over 5000 hectares with natural African bushveld
and an abundance of flora, fauna, birdlife and wildlife. Two game drives, each
approximately 2 – 2,5 hours in duration, are scheduled daily. Elephant interaction
includes an educational talk followed by a 'touch and feed' experience.
The Askari Lodge interior manages to capture the essence of ‘Africa meets Antique
Dutch’ with décor pieces dating back to the 1800’s. Of the 48 suites, some have
thatch roofs and wooden patios, while the newly added self-catering family units
are tin-roofed with rough plaster and a distinct farmhouse look. The chalets and
suites all have unique configurations and cater for individuals, groups and families.
Mini-bars are filled on request and complimentary tea/ coffee, safes, hairdryers and
cooling fans are available for your comfort and enjoyment.
The main lodge, which is in fact the old Bodenstein family farmhouse, overlooks the
Elephant Dam and invites guests to take a step back in time while admiring South
African décor pieces dating back to the 1800’s. Slipper baths, wash stands, luggage
chests, antique Oregon cupboards and tables are subtly placed within the luxury
four-star 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 to 1900. A variety of stone
and iron-age arte facts, items from the Boer War and San Bushmen rock carvings tell
the history of the area, which is also known for the nearby Battle of Nooitgedacht of
1900. Examples are available in the Plumari Heritage Museum and guided bush
walks take guests through areas where many stone carvings can be found.
In contrast with the rich pioneer history depicted by the main farmhouse decor, the
Day Visitors Center, which houses the conference venues and function venue, is
ideal for groups between 20 and 150 delegates. The upstairs conference venue
opens up onto the Azima Restaurant, viewing deck and Enzi Bar, while the ground
floor venues have a breathtaking view over the Magaliesberg mountain range.
Teambuilding activities include game drives, bush survival skills
and potjiekos competitions.
Askari Spa reflects the environment that surrounds it – African veldt and wildlife rise
up to meet the African sky and majestic Magaliesberg mountain range. Individual
treatments, value for money packages and overnight spa packages are available
for pure pampering or as a teambuilding option. Bridal packages are popular with
bridal parties and are often combined with game drives for guests’ enjoyment.

Accommodating up to 150 guests, it has a beautiful deck with views over

rich earthy colours and unique African décor focal points. The upstairs wedding
venue opens up onto the Azima Restaurant, viewing deck and Enzi Bar, ideal for
