The forest around the Marojejia camp area is where most wildlife can be found. With the help of guides and lemur trackers, it's also most likely to encounter groups of the Silky sifaka here and spot the rare [[Helmet vanga]] among other species. In addition to the 11 species of lemurs, Marojejy is home to more than 125 species of birds, 150 species of reptiles and amphibians, 30 species of palm trees and 300 species of ferns.
