Origins Africa Wellness Retreat

With capacity for 24 guests, our 4-acre property boasts 6 en-suite private retreat chalets (holding up to 12 guests), 2 expansive shared retreat rooms (holding 4 guests each) and our exclusive founder's lodge which is a self-contained cottage boasting 2 further ensuite bedrooms. The retreat is brought to life by our family of warm, friendly, and dedicated staff whilst our menu of adventures lets you fully customise your itinerary, from ancient wellness practices to safari experiences. All you need to do is bring your vision, your clients and your magic for our team to co-create the retreat of a lifetime. Nestled in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania our retreat space blends barefoot luxury with African charm. Far from the tourist trail, guests are invited to experience authentic Tanzanian culture. A Safari excursion in the vast wilderness of Ruaha National Park is easily accessible from the lodge where guests can spot the Big 5 and so much more from a Landcruiser driven by one of our expert guides. The town’s lively markets and craft stalls are a short walk from the retreat whilst the surrounding mountainous landscape is perfect for hiking in the local area. Al-fresco wellness practices will feature soul-stirring views of the Great Ruaha River Valley from our hilltop yoga deck, or workshops can be conducted in our huge glass-walled studio which features a wood-burner for heated yoga sessions. Guests will have full access to high-end equipment and can unwind after fitness sessions in our wood-fired saunas and refreshing natural waterfall showers, or take a dip in our salt-water pool. Immersed in native woodland gardens, the Lodge is a tranquil escape, spotted with hammocks and fire pits. We take sustainability seriously and operate entirely off the grid thanks to our cutting-edge solar panels. To minimise plastic waste on-site, we have installed a reverse-osmosis water filtration system which guarantees safe, unlimited water at all times. Our building materials and furnishings are regionally sourced to minimise our footprint and showcase the craftsmanship of local artisans.

You will have exclusive use of the property, creating the perfect atmosphere for total privacy and complete rest and relaxation.
