Tanganyika Wildlife Park

Since Saturday was such a beautiful day I decided to take Madelyn to the Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Ks. It has been around for many years but only recently became open to the public. It serves as a home for some exotic and endangered animals. It is a rather small park but also less traveled which beat out the busy Sedgwick County zoo any day. It also is more hands on and we had the opportunity to feed some of the animals.

Here are just a few of the animals that live at the park:


Oscar, was a very friendly and curious Lemur who ate cranberries right out of our hands.




These pretty birds are Lories and they would drink right out of the cup and then try to steal it.



This is Vickie, a red kangaroo, she loved the attention from anyone that passed by. However, Madelyn wasn't interested in petting Vickie.


A family of giraffes also reside at Tnaganyika. One of them came up and took a branch out of Madelyn's hand




The Colobus monkeys, aka skunk monkeys, were pretty entertaining to watch.


We had a great time at the wildlife park and hope to go back again in the spring.
