Usually, visitors arrive in the morning hours from Sambava, which is about one hour and 45 minutes by private car hire or two and a half hours by Taxi-brousse. The distance from Sambava is 65 km. Marojejy visitors often typically stay at the [[Mimi Hotel]] in Sambava where the tourist office is also located and where tours and park tickets as well as guides can be arranged. Take-away lunch packs with pastries from Mimi's restaurant and pâtisserie can be prepared for guests on their journey ahead.<!--The menu offerings in the camp kitchens are fresh but usually simple pasta, rice, chicken etc.-->

Most of the guides, all porters, cooks, forest guards and workers maintaining the trail are from the local communities. Employment opportunities given to guides help preserve the park 's environment in that the local communities come to depend more on tourism than farming alone since they can profit only if the forest is maintained and preserved. Ecotourism encourages the local population to if they respect park boundaries and avoid overusing its natural resources, such as clearing land in and around the forest forested area for farming purposes. Simply visiting Visiting the park fosters a mutually beneficial relationship between nature and the local communities.
