Marojejy National Park, National park in northeastern Madagascar
The protected area spans 55,500 hectares across varied terrains, from dense rainforests at 75 meters to mountain peaks reaching 2,132 meters in elevation.
Professor Henri Humbert established Marojejy as a reserve in 1948, and in 2007 UNESCO designated it as part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana World Heritage Site.
The Tsimihety people inhabit the regions surrounding the park, maintaining traditional agricultural practices while adapting to conservation requirements near the protected zones.
Visitors access the park through the village of Manantenina, where guides lead expeditions to three established camps positioned at different elevations along the trail system.
The park contains four distinct forest types supporting 11 lemur species, including the white silky sifaka, found exclusively in this northeastern region of Madagascar.

Madagascar features natural landscapes ranging from the baobab avenues near Morondava to the limestone formations of the Tsingy and coastal areas with coral reefs. The country's national parks protect tropical rainforests inhabited by lemurs, along with geological features including crater lakes and sandstone formations. The highest peaks rise in the northern mountain ranges, while the southern regions are characterized by dry landscapes. Photogenic locations include the Isalo Massif with its eroded sandstone canyons, the Masoala Peninsula with its rainforests along the Indian Ocean, and the island of Nosy Be off the northwest coast. The beaches at Ifaty and Anakao attract visitors for their reefs, while Sainte-Marie Island is known for whale watching between July and September. The Kirindy forests in the west are home to nocturnal lemurs and fossas. Historic sites include the royal hill of Ambohimanga, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Rova palace in Antananarivo. The geysers at Ampefy and the crater lake Tritriva showcase the volcanic history of the highlands. The red Tsingy near Sadjoavato formed through erosion of iron-rich sandstone and contrast with the gray limestone Tsingy in the west.
