The distance between the two camps is a bit over two kilometres along an easy trail that takes about an hour to complete depending on the number of stops to observe the wildlife. Camp Marojejia, named after the palm species in the area, is at an elevation of 744 metres.

Alternatively, local arrangements can be made via [[AGEMA]] ([[AGEMA|Association for Ecotourist Guides of Marojejy and Anjanaharibe-Sud]]). Its approximately 30 members are certified by [https://www.parcs-madagascar.com/parcs/marojejy.php Madagascar National Parks]. Dealing directly with the local guides can offer the best value for both visitors and the guides. Most of the guides, all of the porters, cooks, forest guards and workers maintaining the trail are from the local communities.
