Manyara Region, Administrative region in northern Tanzania
The region spans 50,921 square kilometers with diverse landscapes including lakes, mountains, savannas, and forests across the Great Rift Valley system.
The Manyara Region emerged in 2002 when authorities divided the former Arusha Region to create a separate administrative territory with Babati as its capital.
The territory includes several ethnic groups such as Irakw, Assa, Gorowa, Mbugwe, Datooga, Maasai, and Barabaig, each maintaining their traditions and practices.
The region connects to major cities through paved roads, with distances of 167 kilometers to Arusha, 157 kilometers to Singida, and 248 kilometers to Dodoma.
Manyara contains Tanzania's sole Tanzanite mining area in the Mirerani Hills of Simanjiro District, producing this rare blue gemstone.
