About the mini-safaris
Go on an adventure at De Ceuvel! During these Mini-Safaris, you explore the Ceuvel site together with a guide. Go in search of everything that lives, crawls, flies, or grows between the pavement, the jetty, and the bushes.
In a cheerful and accessible way, children discover how much life exists in their own neighbourhood. Afterwards, you will definitely look at nature around you with different eyes.
About this safari: fish “can you understand fish?”
Fish listen. Do you know what a fish sounds like? This morning we will explore which fish live in the waters of De Ceuvel. Using an underwater microphone, we will try to hear them. What might they have to say?
