Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to stay at Club des amis Annexe for visiting Marojejy National Park?

We recommend visiting during the dry season, typically May to November, as the trails in Marojejy are much more accessible and comfortable for hiking. While the park is open year-round, the heavy rains from December to April can make trekking challenging and some areas impassable. For the best chance to spot the iconic Silky Sifaka and other lemurs, aim for the cooler, drier months.

What can we expect from the rooms and overall comfort at Club des amis Annexe?

We find the rooms at Club des amis Annexe to be wonderfully practical and comfortable after a day exploring Marojejy's rugged terrain. While not overtly luxurious, they are clean, well-maintained, and offer a peaceful retreat with essential amenities. The lodge feels welcoming and authentic, providing a solid base from which to launch your rainforest adventures.

How easy is it to arrange transport from Club des amis Annexe to the entrance of Marojejy National Park?

Arranging transport from Club des amis Annexe to the park entrance is quite straightforward, as the hotel staff are very experienced in facilitating these logistics for guests. We recommend pre-booking your transfers or discussing options upon arrival; local taxis or 4x4 vehicles are the typical mode of transport, and the journey offers a glimpse into local life. It's a short, scenic drive that prepares you for the wilderness ahead.

What are the dining options like at Club des amis Annexe, and can they accommodate dietary needs?

We love the home-style Malagasy cooking at Club des amis Annexe, which often features fresh, local ingredients. Meals are typically served communally or in a relaxed dining area, offering a chance to connect with other travelers. They are generally accommodating of dietary needs if you inform them in advance, so do communicate any allergies or preferences when booking.

Beyond the park, what kind of natural surroundings or wildlife can we experience directly from Club des amis Annexe?

While the main draw is undoubtedly Marojejy, Club des amis Annexe itself is nestled in a lush, green environment where you can still feel connected to nature. We've enjoyed spotting various birds and chameleons right on the hotel grounds, and the sounds of the surrounding forest are a constant, soothing presence. It's a lovely spot to relax and soak in the ambiance of rural Madagascar after your park excursions.
