Village life
Doany village is at the heart of the Shambala experience.
​
The magic here lies in the bridge between worlds co-created by the village, Maxime, and visitors of Shambala.
The aim is symbiotic: mutual enrichment via building connection, understanding, and respect.
We achieve this through curiosity and play, in which village life is rich.

symbiosis and spice
Village culture displays skills and a relationship with life alien to much of the world...and embraces visitors. Alongside the joyful encounters that arise with a visit to Shambala, we facilitate workshops celebrating the mastery and resourcefulness evident Malagasy lifestyle, and if you have a skill to share, we'll support you in hosting your own for them.
From building traditional Malagasy houses, card games, up-cycling, herbalism, or even weaving natural material, get stuck in, not only developing your skills, but also those of the village.
bring your project
You have energy and skills to bring to the village? We have tools and connections to facilitate you: build a toilet, run a workshop, conduct a project.. if you feel inspired, we are here to support you!
There are 4 boys who have become part of the Shambala family, and embarked on apprenticeships supporting the project. They bring incredible magic and cheekiness, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to support their schooling, and guide them in their various areas of interest (cooking, mechanics, skippering, and guiding adventures).
With Kevin, Jean-louis, Servio, Jeremy, and Jo-jo on board, enchanting and unforgettable fun is certainly in store for Shambala’s guests!
