Lake Manyara Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in northern Tanzania.
The reserve spans 2,833,000 hectares of diverse landscapes including grasslands, woodlands, wetlands, and the alkaline Lake Manyara at its center.
The UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme designated Lake Manyara as a protected biosphere reserve in 1981, expanding upon the national park established in 1960.
The Maasai, Iraqw, and Barabaig communities maintain their traditional practices of pastoralism and agriculture within the designated areas of the reserve.
Visitors can access the reserve through Lake Manyara Airport or by car, located 126 kilometers southwest of Arusha, with two distinct rainy seasons.
The reserve hosts more than 350 bird species, including substantial populations of flamingos that gather along the lake shores during wet periods.
