Introducing Lost Adventures
Lost Adventures is a travel agency specializing in wildlife volunteer projects and exclusive safari adventures in Africa.
Lost Adventures was founded by Mikkel Legarth from Denmark in 2018. He is also the co-founder of Modisa Wildlife Project (2010), a wildlife conservation project in Botswana, featured in the award-winning series "Saving Sirga: Journey into the Heart of a Lion", available on Netflix, Animal Planet, Amazon Prime and ViaSat Nature. Whether you are looking for travelling with a purpose at one of our exciting wildlife volunteer projects or an unforgettable safari in the wilderness, we are here to assist you with our tips & tricks to perfect your adventure in Africa.
Volunteer with wildlife conservation
If you want to get behind the scenes and become involved in wildlife conservation in Africa, then volunteering at a wildlife or marine project is an extraordinary life changing experience. We organize self-funding volunteer experiences for people of all nationalities and have partnerships with 11 of our favorite wildlife projects in South Africa, Kenya and Botswana. You can join a project from 2 to 12 weeks, which will give you the unique opportunity to become involved in a wide variety of wildlife conservation activities - or how about 2 or 4 weeks with the exciting whale shark research team at the Maldives?
Safari adventures
A safari in the African wilderness is, in our view, one of the most exciting adventures you can have and should be on everyone’s bucket list! Explore the wildlife treasures in the Okavango Delta, The Great Migration in Serengeti, Masai Mara in Kenya or go trekking with Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda. Experiencing the astonishing wildlife in combination with living in tents, luxury lodges or tented camps will give the perfect ambience to your adventure in the African wilderness.
Lost Adventures have partnerships with some of the best and most prominent safari operators in Africa. Whether you choose between the rugged style of a mobile safari, a luxury safari expedition (Botswana) or luxury lodges and tented camps – or a combination, the Big Five and the lions’ power roar will soon become part of your dreams!
