It is administered by the Tanzania National Parks Authority, and covers an area of 325 km2 (125 sq mi) including about 230 km2 (89 sq mi) lake surface. More than 350 bird Species have been observed on the lake.

Since the 1920s, Lake Manyara area was used for sports Hunting. [3] In 1957, a game reserve was established.[4] In 1960, it was given National Park status and in 1974 about 550 ha (1,400 acres) were added to the southern end. The majority of the land area of the park is a narrow strip running between the Gregory Rift wall to the west and Lake Manyara, an alkaline lake, to the east.[5] The national park only includes the northwest quadrant of the lake, about 200 km2 (77 sq mi).
