About the mini-safaris
Go on an adventure at De Ceuvel! During these Mini-Safaris you’ll explore the Ceuvel site together with a guide. Go searching for 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 is hidden in their own neighbourhood. Afterwards, you’ll definitely look at the nature around you with different eyes.
About this Safari: songbirds “listening with your eyes”
There are more animals than people in Amsterdam. The pity is… most of them are a bit shy. They hide at night or fly away. So do you actually know these animals, your fellow city residents? Birds have an advantage for us humans: they sing and make all kinds of other sounds! Join us on a sound hunt at De Ceuvel. How many birds live there?
You’re welcome to bring your own binoculars. Don’t have any? No problem, you can borrow a pair.
About this guide: Thomas
Thomas also happens to live in the Vogelbuurt and has a passion for birds, which he shares, among other things, through his work at the school gardens.
