Tanganyika Wildlife Park in June, 2008

Prior to June of 2008, Tanganyika Wildlife Park was a private zoo near Goddard, Kansas. On June 21, the Tanganyika Wildlife Park opened to the public.

I visited Tanganyika Wildlife Park on the opening day and didn't feel the zoo was ready for the public. But I am delighted to say that as of late August of 2008, many more exhibits were open, several times as many as earlier in the summer. There are opportunities for visitors to interact with, touch, or feed the animals. That is one of the features which the Tanganyika Wildlife Park staff intend to keep in the expanded zoo.
