Who lives in Ngyuwe?

Unique in the Netherlands

The first animals have arrived and are slowly getting used to their new habitat. Over the summer, more and more species will take up residence. In Ngyuwe, you will find 19 new residents, including three rare animal species that cannot be found anywhere else in the Netherlands:

Yellow-backed duiker: This shy and unusual animal has a fitting name. When in danger, they in fact dive away between the bushes at lightning speed, but with some luck you will catch a glimpse of this unique ungulate.

African brush-tailed porcupine: This spiny nocturnal animal often appears at night, but in Ngyuwe's nocturnal animal enclosure you can also spot this unique animal during the day.

Drill: This rare species of monkey will take up residence in Ngyuwe later in the summer.

Step into the world of Ngyuwe

Just like in the tropical African rainforests, it can rain or get very hot in Ngyuwe. Fortunately, there are several shelters for you and our animals:

Bodi Village: in this lively African village, you will learn all about bushmeat and its illegal hunting.
An African boathouse with stunning views of the okapis and Kirk's dikdiks.
In the indoor enclosure, admire the okapi as it takes shelter from the heat or rain.
In the nocturnal animal enclosure, discover the secrets of the night. Will you spot the Senegal Galago?
In the large aviary, enjoy beautiful, colourful bird species.
