Tanganyika Wildlife Park

Absolutely amazing facility (coming from another zookeeper here!) Yes, $150 sounds like a lot…but it is ABSOLUTELY worth it for the amount of stuff you get included. I would say for the grab and go snacks, a mini fridge with fruits or veggies would be a nice addition. However… the cookies are delish. It is glaringly obvious that this facility deeply cares for the animals wellbeing and gives them choices and respects when the animal says no. Enclosure are LARGES and kept very clean and natural looking. While a lot of encounters are being offered, these animals have multiples opportunities to or to not engage with the public and are not forced to do anything they don’t want to do. After talking with a keeper, I learned that there are lots of animals behind the scenes because they don’t like to be in the public eye (cheetah and snow leopard breeding facilities) The staff are extremely knowledgeable and passionate for what they do and that goes a long way when attending these private encounters. They generally have 2 keepers in an encounter, one to train the animal and focus only on their behavior. The other keeper to educate the guests, answer questions etc. One last bit of advice (besides healthy snacks) is more shade is needed in the area you stand during hippo encounter! But I love my Posie nose print❤️

We had a super fun time. The workers all really care about the animals and are very helpful and friendly, explaining things and answering questions. We loved feeding the giraffes and visiting the lemurs. Bring lots of quarters to feed the dwarf goats! We did the swim with penguins which was really fun and the main reason we came. I recommend the fall during the weekday as it felt like we almost had the place to ourselves

My kid liked it more than Disney World (her words) and our family had such a great experience during our day there. The staff were all welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny. The fact that it is all inclusive makes it easy to relax and enjoy everything on offer instead of keeping track of individual expenses. Highlights for us were Lemur Island and our sloth experience with Chewbacca and Molasses (shout out to Jolene the resident armadillo). It's an easy day trip from Tulsa and worth every penny.

I cant give any more stars but i would steal them from the sky to give to this park and the staff. The animals are very easy to see and interact with unlike other zoos. The keepers extremely interactive and excited about answering questions and showing off the animals. I was able to see every animal and feed so many of them. It was the most fun i have ever had at a zoo and we have been to numberous zoos. Thank you Tanganyika for the memorable experience.

Best zoo experience ive had. Not a huge facility so the variety was a bit smaller than many zoos but everything was well kept, the animals seemed much happier than the average zoo, well stimulated. Many exhibits had babies which was a particular pleasure. The ability to feed some of the animals without paying extra was amazing. There were some tasty beers available as a bonus. Certainly will come back next time im in town.
