As one of the most interactive wildlife parks in the country, Tanganyika is where content practically creates itself. In small groups, you’ll kick things off with a signature Big Animal Experience, followed by even more up-close encounters such as feeding lemurs, posing with capybaras or capturing a perfect penguin splash.
