Some speculation has already been going on on the Dutch forums "Laafsekikkers", I thought I might as well post that here:
Enclosure 6 is almost guaranteed to be one of the Pygmy hippo enclosures, it has a large beach section and an underwater viewing area. I wasn't too sure as to what enclosures 1-3 would be home to, but @Philipine eagle (I think it's the same guy, at least) made the excellent point that Pygmy hippos have to be separated. So it would make a lot of sense if enclosures 2, 3 and 6 will be home to the three Pygmy hippos. Enclosure 1 would then have space for antelopes (Probably Sitatungas), which could also go into enclosures 2 or three. I think enclosure 6 will also have a primate species, possibly the DeBrazza monkeys but it could also be another monkey species.
I also think enclosures 7 and 8 are almost guaranteed to be the Okapi enclosures. All the viewing areas are covered and there's a lot of planted areas for the Okapis to hide behind.
That leaves enclosures 4 and 6, which I presume will be home to either Red forest buffalo or Mountain bongo, along with Sitatungas or Duikers.
9 is the only enclosure drawn as an aviary, but it seems small for Hamerkops, so maybe one of the larger enclosures will be netted over? I really like Netted-over hoofstock enclosures, which we don't have all that many of in the Netherlands (Only Blijdorp and GaiaZOO that I can think of, as well as Antwerp in Belgium). But all three of those have at least more than 10 different bird species, and we're "only" getting 17 species for the new project. Someone also mentioned parrots as an option for enclosure 9 (Possibly Red-fronted or Senegal parrots?), personally I'm expecting weavers.
Enclosure 10 is a bit odd, since it seems too small for the Red river hogs, but there aren't really any other Tropical African animals that could go into an enclosure like that. It seems like a suitable location for a mixed Mongoose + Porcupine enclosure, but those aren't tropical animals (except Brush-tailed porcupines and Cusimanse, but Brush-tailed porcupines can't really be kept outside and Cusimanses can only be kept in smaller groups, meaning that'd be a very large enclosure for them)... It's a bit odd...
