Calling all yoga teachers, students, wellness lovers, & adventurers….
This is not just another yoga retreat destination, but a place to truly step into the heart of Africa, & awaken yourself.
Origins Africa Retreat Chalet
The Retreat
Our retreat destination is situated in the central highlands of Tanzania, perched on the hilltops of Ganglionga. Our retreat is away from the typical tourist track, creating an authentic connection with the rhythm of life here. Choosing somewhere that creates a deep connection with the roots of Tanzanian culture, people, & nature was central to us when deciding on a retreat location, pushing boundaries, stepping out of comfort zones, & experiencing life authentically are values we hold closely. When discovering our retreat spot, we knew it was perfect!
Eco-friendly practices
Our accommodation is fully powered by off-grid solar, offering spacious chalet style suites & shared rooms, indoor yoga studio, outdoor yoga deck saunas, communal dining areas, & a lounge bar. Creating a space to connect with others, to step into yourself, & to delve into your practice. Implementing eco-friendly practices has been deeply important to us, since dreaming up this idea. Throughout the journey we have been working closely with our environment manager Mdoe. Mdoe has been essential in educating, & enabling us to create a space that sits in harmony with our surroundings. His passion & knowledge for the environment has been essential in our journey so far.
Local community
Working alongside the local community, & providing opportunities for people living here, is another central aspect to our mission. Local Fundi (Swahili for artisans) have been employed to build the retreat, creating our chalets, yoga studios, bespoke pieces of furniture, & crafting interiors. Their work speaks to the skill, vibrancy, & culture of Tanzania.
Yoga, wellness, & adventure
This is not just another retreat, but somewhere to adventure, to be free, to immerse yourself in your surroundings, to venture out of your comfort zones, & embrace life in the heart of Africa! Retreats starting 2025.
