Antananarivo to Marojejy National Park

Your adventure begins with a morning flight from Antananarivo to Sambava. Upon arrival, a guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to Manantenina village, the entrance to Marojejy National Park. After checking in, paying the entrance fees, and meeting your local trekking team, you will continue with a short 30-minute drive to Mandena village, the starting point of your trek.

The hike begins from Mandena and leads through the dense and vibrant rainforest of Marojejy. The trail offers glimpses of unique flora and fauna, including towering ferns, endemic orchids and colorful chameleons. By late afternoon, you will arrive at Camp Mantella, your base for the night.

Camp Mantella features rustic wooden cabins with beds, mattresses and blankets. While basic, the camp does offer shared outdoor toilets to ensure comfort during your stay. After settling in, enjoy a freshly prepared meal under the rainforest canopy before resting for the night.
