About the Mini-Safaris:

This summer, children and teenagers in Amsterdam-Noord are going on an adventure at De Ceuvel! In a fun and accessible way, they’ll discover just how much life is hiding in their own neighborhood.

During these Mini-Safaris (8 in total), they’ll explore the Ceuvel grounds together with a guide. You’ll search for everything that lives, crawls, flies, or grows between the pavement, piers, and plants — from snails and bees to water creatures, birds, and wild herbs.
Afterwards, you’re guaranteed to see the nature around you with fresh eyes.

About this safari: Nature Stories

During the Story Safari, everything revolves around the stories of nature at De Ceuvel. Together, we wander across the site and discover that nature is full of adventures. The children listen to the stories we find behind every branch, leaf, tree trunk, under every paving stone, and with every little bird that flies by at De Ceuvel, and they also search for stories themselves. Like true detectives, we draw and write our findings in a booklet.

Info for parents and guardians

For this safari, we start and stay at De Ceuvel. Please arrive on time.

Children participate under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult. It is not allowed to leave your child unattended: as a parent or guardian, you remain responsible for your child.

Parents are very welcome to join: the safaris are fun and educational for all ages. Prefer to wait? We will provide free coffee and tea. From 12:00, Café de Ceuvel will also be open.
