Treat The Kids To A 'Wild' Getaway These School Holidays

Joburg Admin / June 23, 2016

Get your kids away from the TV and video games, and take them to Askari Game Lodge & Spa for a fun getaway that will have them reconnecting with nature. There will be plenty of fun activities and new experiences for them to do. Askari Game Lodge and Spa Five Must-Do Fun Activities At Askari Game Lodge 1. Start your kiddies outing with a tour through the museum at the lodge’s Gala Hall, where kids can see how great granny and gramps lived. This museum boasts one of the largest private collections of ox wagons and animal drawn vehicles from the 1800 and 1900. Other collectables from the era are also on display. 2. Your kids don’t need to completely give up their “extra appendage” – AKA, their phone! They can take plenty of fun pictures with mock up skulls from the Cradle of Humankind, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999, or in front of the old ox-wagons at the museum. Askari Game Lodge and Spa 3. Then, why not enjoy the chance to catch the elephants splash around and keep cool in the elephant dam? This is the perfect opportunity to take a selfie with these majestic animals in the background. 4. After all this fun, surely the kids have worked up an appetite! To recharge their energy levels, they can dig into a delicious hamburger and chips or hot dog and chips, with juice for lunch. 5. And, a visit to the bush is not complete without a game drive to spot the Big 5! Kids will learn all kinds of interesting facts during a special kiddies formatted one-hour game drive. And then after a long day of fun and adventure, they can cool off in the swimming pool on a warm, sunny day. Askari Game Lodge and Spa Adult supervision is required at all times and Askari Lodge recommends age groups between six and 16. Aside from being a wonderful birthday surprise, this is also an excellent school outing where an educational element can be built into the museum visit and game drive.
