Portfolio

In General

 

We are regularly approached by governments, investors and operators for imagineering, analyses, second opinions and development with regard to Zoos, Wildlife Parks, Dômes and Wildlife Resorts.

A team of professionals with extensive experience is formed for each project.

 

We currently have a number of projects in our portfolio that are in a dynamic situation.

If you are interested in being involved in a project, we kindly request you to contact us.

 

 

Participation

In addition to the fact that we are approached to participate in developments in the field of nature experiences, we have also basically elaborated a number of experience concepts in an Impression Imagineering. Here we have broadly described and visualized our ideas.

 

Do you have an idea, a location or do you want to develop something in the field of day and / or overnight recreation? Perhaps we can do something for each other!

Monarch Magic

 

We have a beautiful location in mind for this concept. We are discussing the development of Monarch Magic in collaboration with the land owner and various authorities involved. Because there is a need for all-weather facilities in the Achterhoek, we have come up with this concept and we believe that it is a positive addition for the region!

 

Monarch Magic contains the largest Insectarium in Europe!

Monarch Magic is a new concept with a mixture of various nature experiences for which there is no collective name yet. We call it a “Nature Discovery Dôme”. What is unique about the concept of Monarch Magic – of which we are one of the first – is that we introduce the visitor to geology, nature and animals. All in a non-traditional way, but in a form in which nature and the most modern techniques will merge. By using innovative (virtual) technologies, the visitor would get a lifelike experience of nature with animals from their own natural habitat.

Any animals that may be present are kept as natural and animal-friendly as possible. Taking into account the most modern aspects of animal welfare, smaller special animal species will be able to tell beautiful stories about nature and nature conservation.

 

Status:

In the early stages, discussions are underway about developing this wonderful new experience in the Achterhoek and we have submitted a request in principle to the municipality involved.

PlanetOne

 

The proposed development is located in Lochem, easily accessible from the A1 and public transport. We currently have two potentially suitable locations in our sights.

 

PlanetOne is a complete and special indoor day attraction, with attention to the world and the universe, but also has an important function for the municipality of Lochem and the Achterhoek (region in the east of the Netherlands).

 

PlanetOne is the first nature and animal experience in Europe without live animals!

An experience in which the visitor takes a journey through small and large life on earth, from the origin of the earth to what the future may bring. One comes face to face with all kinds of wonderful little life forms such as plankton, microbes and insects. The other animals can be met by means of Augmented and Virtual Reality, projections, film images, holograms possibly combined with 2D and/or 3D Naked Eye techniques.

The experience is maximized by appealing to all the senses. In addition to seeing, the visitor will also hear, feel, smell and even taste.

 

Status:

In collaboration with various parties, we are seriously discussing the intended locations.

MicroMania

 

We presented this concept and discussed it with a municipality in Flevoland, which is enthusiastic about the plan, possibly in combination with other active experiences and of course focused on flora and fauna! A suitable location is currently being sought.

 

Small life Experience big

An experience in which the visitor takes a journey through small and large life on earth. One comes face to face with all kinds of wonderful small life forms such as plankton and microbes to insects and small mammals. MicroMania is – just like previous projects – a “Nature Discovery Dôme”. Taking into account the most modern aspects of animal welfare, smaller special animal species will be able to tell beautiful stories about nature and nature conservation. Due to the striking mix of virtual animal encounters, education and interactivity, MicroMania forms a completely new category in the Netherlands.

 

Techniques that are applied include: Augmented and Virtual Reality, projections, film images, holograms possibly combined with 2D and/or 3D Naked Eye techniques. The experience is maximized by appealing to all the senses. In addition to seeing, the visitor will also hear, feel, smell and even taste.

 

Status:

This concept is extremely suitable for multiple locations in the Netherlands; We are currently looking at possibilities in the province of Flevoland.

Arusha Wildlife Dreamland

 

Arusha Wildlife Dreamland is a complete and special day attraction (with accommodation options). The attraction focuses on the entire family, on families and groups, seniors and care institutions, with the senior target group becoming increasingly important in the coming years due to demographic developments in the Netherlands.

 

Arusha Wildlife Dreamland is a Resort, consisting of approximately 230 lodges and 80 safari tents.

The centre facilities of Arusha Resort and the entrance to the Zoo will be housed in Arusha Dôme. The concept takes visitors to Africa. Immediately upon entering, the public feels as if they are in Arusha (Tanzania). The atmosphere is reminiscent of the movie ‘Out of Africa’. From the terrace of the restaurant, the public has a view of the plain with giraffes, impalas and zebras. The day visitors can follow an exciting route where one is always face to face with African animal species. A number of islands will be developed for the benefit of monkeys, which the holidaymakers of the lodges will have a unique view of.

 

The Dôme will include a Butterfly World, Monkey World, a swimming paradise, game and bowling facilities and various dining options – completely in African Jungle atmosphere.

 

Status:

We are currently looking for a suitable location.
