Tanganyika Wildlife Park is a private zoo near Goddard, Kansas, that will soon go public. Tanganyika is presently open only for tours and special events, but they are doing a major expansion and hoped to open to the public in 2007. They are doing a lot of construction and thar date was too optimistic. But I look forward to visiting the new zoo, whenever it opens.

When Tanganyika Wildlife Park was visited in 2007, a huge birthday party was in progress. Those are the people in some of the photos on this page. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Tanganyika is also popular for weddings and receptions.

There are opportunities for visitors to interact with, touch, or feed some of the animals. That is one of the features which the Tanganyika Wildlife Park staff intend to keep in the expanded zoo.

Tanganyika Wildlife Park is a non-profit breeding facility for rare and endangered species. Tanganyika is the largest breeder of snow leopards in the world.
