🍂 YOUR FALL SEASON GUIDE 🍂
The temperatures may be dropping, but the fun doesn’t end at Tanganyika Wildlife Park. Fall is the perfect time to come visit us. Cooler temps usually mean shorter lines and more opportunities to interact with the animals and keepers.
Did you know that a lot of our babies are born during the fall? Colobus, giraffes, lemurs, mandrills, snow leopards, amurs, jaguars, and goats have babies during the cooler months. Come on out and see them before they are all grown up!
TAKE NOTE OF OUR NEW FALL HOURS
During the fall, we are open from 10am to 4pm and reservations are required. Gold and Silver season pass holders can visit after-hours for free. General season pass holders can come after-hours for ONLY $5 and all other visitors for $10. Be sure to visit us before the season ends on November 14th
🎉 PARTY IN STYLE 🎉
Our Cabanalows are perfect for family gatherings, birthday parties, and all of your memorable events. These semi-private cabanalows allow you to party in style!

Walk with Quilliam
Do you enjoy long walks in the park, scratches behind your ear, giving high fives to your adoring fans, and munching on sweet potatoes? Then, you and our African-crested porcupine, Quilliam, have more in common than you might think! While he may look like a Halloween monster with all those quills, he really is a sweetheart!
Join us at 2:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays during the month of October, and take a walk through the park with Quilliam. We just know that you are going to fall in love with his big soft nose and gentle personality.
Spider Monkey Tour
We have some new animals who can’t WAIT to meet you! Go behind-the-scenes and meet our newest residents, the red faced spider monkey. With arms and legs as long as their tails, they will wow you with their incredible climbing. Hang out Saturdays and Sundays in October while they hang by their prehensile tail – did you know it has its own fingerprint?!
ANIMAL OF THE MONTH!
Meet Balthazar, a Eurasian Eagle-Owl. Not to be confused with his smaller cousin, the great horned owl, Eurasian Eagle-Owls have bright orange eyes and wingspans up to 6 feet. Balthazar is a nocturnal animal with exceptional hearing and night vision.
Balthazar invites you to come visit him at the Park and learn more fun facts about his amazing owl family.
🦏 CONSERVATION EFFORTS 🦒
Tanganyika Wildlife Foundation was created with the sole purpose of supporting exotic and endangered animal conservation and education efforts locally and around the world. We wanted to share some exciting updates on how you are helping to directly impact animal conservation!
The Impact of Zoos on Endangered Animal Conservation
Animal conservation is essential for protecting all animals, especially endangered species that are facing extinction. Unfortunately, the wildlife trade continues to put animals at risk by capturing and killing them illegally. However, zoos like the Tanganyika Wildlife Park help preserve animals and their habitats through conservation methods like education, advocacy, fundraising, and captive breeding.
