Marojejy National Park offers a challenging yet rewarding wilderness experience, renowned for its incredible biodiversity, including the rare Silky Sifaka lemur. Located remotely, access typically involves a 4x4 journey from Andapa followed by extensive hiking; good physical fitness is essential. Visits are strictly guided, requiring the mandatory hire of local guides and porters from the park office, making solo exploration impossible. While open year-round, the dry season (April/May to December) is highly recommended for easier trail conditions, as the rainy season (January to March) can render trails very muddy and sometimes impassable. A typical visit spans 3-5 days to fully explore the various camps and diverse ecosystems, with costs encompassing daily park fees, mandatory guide and porter fees, and transportation, potentially totaling several hundred US dollars for a multi-day trip. Visitors should prepare for basic camping accommodations and a true immersion in nature.
