Are you passionate about wildlife conservation and dedicated to creating WOW moments that inspire stewardship of animals? As a premier destination for animal lovers and conservation advocates, Tanganyika offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the care and education of a diverse range of species while working in a supportive environment.

Innovative Conservation Efforts: Be part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to preserving wildlife and educating the public.

The BREZ team (as we like to call it around here) is responsible for a variety of animals, including a well behaved mob of red kangaroos, over 13 species of birds, the interactive and most popular area of the park, the children’s zoo, and the education animal collection (reptiles and small mammals). This team takes hustle to a whole new level and has the raking skills of 1200 men. Being responsible for three of the interactive areas of the park and such a large education animal collection means we can attribute at least 30% of the smiles in the park to this team!
