Frequently Asked Questions
When is the optimal time to visit Hôtel Beanana and explore Parc National de Marojejy?
We find the dry season, from April to November, offers the best conditions for trekking in Marojejy and enjoying Hôtel Beanana's amenities. While you might still encounter some rain, the trails are generally more manageable, and wildlife viewing, especially for lemurs, is excellent. We particularly love the cooler months of July and August for comfortable hiking.

The service is attentive, and the communal areas, like the dining room, offer a warm, inviting ambiance.
What unique wildlife encounters can we expect when staying at Hôtel Beanana and visiting Marojejy?
Marojejy is a biodiversity hotspot, and staying at Hôtel Beanana puts you right on its doorstep for incredible encounters. We highly recommend focusing on the iconic Silky Sifaka, which is endemic to this region, along with various chameleons, frogs, and a spectacular array of birdlife.
