Chimanimani National Reserve, Protected area in Manica Province, Mozambique.

Chimanimani National Reserve encompasses 656 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, dense forests, rocky landscapes, and diverse ecosystems supporting endemic species and rare flora adapted to high-altitude conditions.

The Moribane, Mpunga and Maronga forest reserves, set up in 1953, were later folded into the park's buffer zone. The core area became a national reserve in 2003 and a national park in 2020, when it was joined with Zimbabwe's Chimanimani National Park to form the Chimanimani Transfrontier Park.

Local communities in and around the Chimanimani Mountains keep the cave paintings found in the massif, along with long-standing traditions and beliefs tied to the range. These practices give the park its cultural identity, distinct from the wildlife and scenery that draw most visitors.

Access to the reserve requires four-wheel-drive vehicles via Machipanda border through Chimoio or Beira, with accommodation available at Chikukwa guesthouse, Mahate, Ndzow Camp, and designated camping sites at Nhahomba Gate.

The park's buffer zone of 1,723 km² takes in the Moribane, Mpunga, Maronga and Zomba forest reserves, three of them set aside in 1953. Birdwatchers look for the red-capped robin-chat, and Welwitsch's bat also lives here. The reserve adjoins Zimbabwe's park of the same name to form a transfrontier area.
