Marojejy is a top birding destination. It has 118 bird species on its records and about 75 of those are forest birds unique to Madagascar. Arguably Madagascar’s most exciting bird, the localized helmet vanga is quite easy to see here when it is nesting from September to December. If birding is your interest, it is recommended to go with a specialized birding guide. Aside from being good at spotting birds, they often know where the nests are located.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Bird watching in Marojejy is good throughout the year, but the best time is from September to December. December can be very wet, so possibly September to November is best. At this time birds are most vocal and are therefore easier to spot. Marojejy is one of the best places to see the helmet vanga and guides can often lead you to their nests at this time. Migratory birds are present from November to April.
