Visitors will come to appreciate the service of the porters who seemingly effortlessly carry balance guests' excess luggage up and down the trials. Having grown up in villages in the area, the porters are used to the terrain. They also carry food and other provisions to the camps, maintain trails, clear the pathway from fallen tree trunks etc.

There is no hotel accommodation shortly before the park entrance except a basic lodge in Mandena. 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 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.-->
The best period to visit Marojejy is between March and December. During much rainfall, the park is mostly closed, especially the trail to the summit.
