Tanzania Soul Retreat

Tanzania, Transformed: In the quiet luxury of nature, community comes alive.

Far from the tourist trail, our sanctuary invites you deep into the untamed spirit of Tanzania - a land of vibrant colours, rich tradition, and rugged landscapes. Perched above the Great Ruaha Valley and surrounded by native woodlands, this is where practice deepens and purpose expands.

Spaces for Wellness: Practice under wide skies, with the earth beneath your feet. 

Lead your retreat in spaces designed to elevate every moment of practice. Our open-air hilltop yoga deck offers breathtaking views over the Great Ruaha River Valley - an unforgettable setting for sunrise flows and evening contemplation. For workshops or restorative practices, our expansive glass-walled studio provides a serene indoor option, complete with a wood-burner and premium equipment to support all styles and levels. After practice, your group can unwind in our wood-fired sauna, rinse off under natural waterfall showers, or enjoy a rejuvenating dip in the saltwater pool. Dotted with hammocks, firepits, and forest paths, the retreat is  4-acres of exclusive-use barefoot luxury. 

Where You’ll Stay: Gather, flow and rest in a place made for connection.

Our eight beautiful chalets are crafted from sustainably sourced local eucalyptus and offer elegant, private spaces that connect guests to their natural surroundings. Each chalet features an en-suite bathroom, spacious terrace, and atmospheric log-burning stove.  Rooms can be arranged as twin, double, or single occupancy, accommodating up to 16 guests on a shared basis. For those seeking something even more exclusive, the Founder’s Lodge is available by request. This self-contained residence includes two en-suite bedrooms, a kitchen, dining area, and living room - ideal for teachers, facilitators, or small groups - bringing total retreat capacity to an intimate 20 guests. Whether your retreat centers on stillness or dynamic movement, our accommodation offers a comforting foundation for deep rest and relaxation.

Nourishment that Supports Your Practice: Locally Grown. Lovingly Prepared. Shared Together. 

Meals at Origins are more than just fuel, they’re a communal experience where conversations flow and connection deepens. Our private chef, Diana, crafts plant-forward menus tailored to your group’s needs and retreat schedule. Every dish features fresh produce, much of it grown in our gardens or sourced from the vibrant local market, where the team can take guests to explore the roots of traditional Tanzanian cooking. In the evenings, your group is welcome to relax in the cosy lounge bar, where local wines and non-alcoholic options are available - perfect for winding down beside the fire.

Eco-Practices: Off-Grid. On-Purpose.

Sustainability is our soul. From solar power to plastic-free water systems, everything here is designed in harmony with nature. Our retreat runs entirely off-grid, built by local artisans with natural, regionally sourced materials. A reverse-osmosis filtration system eliminates plastic waste, whilst our on-site tree nursery regenerates hundreds of wild saplings each year. Tucked into native woodland where monkeys roam freely, the retreat supports the regeneration of this precious ecosystem we’re proud to protect, and privileged to share with you.
