It was a lovely 2 nights we spent there.
The elephants at the restaurant are a big bonus. The garden and surroundings are very beautiful and relaxing. The food was excellent! The rooms are very nice and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The massages at the spa were also excellent. It is a convenient one hour drive from Fourways, making the location very convenient for a weekend getaway. Will definitely go again.

Haven't seen such friendly staff in a long time, and because we booked through the website, they gave us a better room. Thank you.

It was truly one we will remember.
From the delicious food, game drive where the guide shared a lot of knowledge, the spa to feed the Elephants on the grass on Sunday afternoon; everything was a celebration.

Place to rest and enjoy the animals.
Friendly service from beginning to end. Tour guide has a lot of knowledge regarding the animals and went to a lot of trouble for us. Was quiet and peaceful. We stayed in front by the dams and saw so many animals during the day that came past, we didn't even have to go looking. Elephants walked past just in front of our patio. Only negative comment I can make is that their reception isn't as impressive as those of other 4-star lodges that we've stayed in. But once again, I think the friendly staff makes up for it.

Nice, but uncomfortable.
We cannot complain about the accommodation itself. There was a problem with our reservation and they treated us completely like naughty children. We were received so awkwardly. When we arrived they said our reservation was for the next night. I then asked if we could spend the night and they were then able to find a room. They then only asked for one night and I said then that I wanted to book two nights. They said when I had to wait, they first had to check if there was room for the next night. My reservation was then for the next night. They put us in a standard chalet and we paid for the Garden Suite. They then did not explain anything further to us about it. The next day when we went down for breakfast, I could see that there were Garden Suites available with which they could help us. I specifically booked it because it was me and my sister and my two year old. The room was very cramped and not what I paid for. At least they could then also explain if it was about our reservation that was a problem. They could only say sorry and explain that they will put us in this room tonight and will move us or just let us pay for a standard chalet for the night. The restaurant is not child friendly at all. Again, no one told us to make alternative arrangements if you come with a child. The other guests gave us such a bad look because my two year old was very bored and there weren't exactly catering options. But the cute waiter and chef made a plan for her. We received very good service from William and Joshua. We checked out the next morning due to the discomfort at the restaurant. At least they didn't ask us extra for the night we had booked. We were grateful for that. We left a tip for them. The staff at reception hope I gave it to them. Askari is beautiful and has a lot of potential. The little bit of attention to detail will go a long way.

Average.
It's our fourth time at Askari Lodge and that's exactly why we booked it again because our previous 3 experiences were nice. However, this was the first time we booked the 8-bed self-catering unit. What a disappointment! I'd say they should just advertise and use it as a 6-bed unit instead. First of all, when we arrived there at 14:00 in the afternoon, the unit's kitchen was not yet equipped with utensils such as plates, knives, forks, pots, pans, etc. not. Only after I had to call 3 times did they bring a crate with loads of stuff that we had to unpack ourselves. Then the fridge is way too small for a family of 8 adults for 2 full days. The trash in the kitchen is damn small. After 6 people have thrown their bottles of drink into it, the bin is full. They do not provide plastic bags in the trash. There was too little toilet paper. Sunday evening I had to call reception 3 times to ask for extra rolls. Unacceptable! The outdoor table is made of steel and so are the chairs. At least then take care of cushions to sit on and a tablecloth or place mats to cover. The plates moved around on the steel surface. Then, too little shampoo and soap in the bathrooms. Another thing that was terribly inconvenient was no decent seating in the living room. Leave the 2 extra beds instead and place decent sofas and chairs to sit on and not just an ottoman. Really, I could go on with the list of complaints. Will be glad if they will do something about it. Oh yes, no stool to sit on in front of the mirror to blow dry hair. There are quite a few things to change! Guess they are used to guests eating at the restaurant 3 times a day, but in our case we were looking for self catering and it didn't come up to our standard.
