“The guest engagement workshop at Tanginika was amazing. It exceeded my expectations, not only did I learn a lot, but it was also just so much fun. I would highly recommend this to all staff. It was very easy for me to take what I learned and help elevate our facilities current interpretive program and behind the scene experiences.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Crew Training at Tanganyika allowed my animal care staff to connect with guests like never before! This training broke down barriers for staff that felt isolated from our guests and encouraged them to use their animal knowledge to create meaningful connections with our visitors. Adam Senior is a delight, and all the Tanganyika staff that facilitated this engaging workshop were so helpful and full of great tips. Lynnlee Schmidt provides support for your staff before, during and after, and is so generous with her time and expertise in guest engagement strategies. I highly recommend this program for any team looking to create trust with your customers, build brand recognition, and elevate your guest experience. Hoping I can come back soon to learn even more!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
