Introducing Lost Adventures
We are a travel agency focusing on life-changing adventures to Africa. We love Africa and its astonishing wildlife and nature - and through our exciting volunteer projects and tailor-made safaris in the African wilderness, we promise your peace of mind and an adventure you will never forget. 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 and 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.
Volunteer & work abroad
If you would like to get behind the scenes and become involved in wildlife conservation in Africa, then volunteering and working abroad at a wildlife or marine project is the ultimate life changing experience. We organize self-funding volunteer and work abroad programmes for people of various nationalities are we currently in partnership with projects in South Africa, Kenya and Botswana. You can join a project for 2 – 12 weeks, which will give you the unique opportunity to become involved in a wide variety of wildlife conservation activities - or how about 2 to 4 weeks with the exciting whale shark research team at the Maldives?
Safari adventures
If you are dreaming about a safari, then let us help you design your perfect safari adventure in Botswana or Tanzania. A safari is by far the one of the most amazing adventures you can have – and it will stay with you for a lifetime! While you are out exploring the wildlife treasures in the Okavango Delta or the great migration at the Serengeti, your new home in the bush is the perfect ambience to your adventure in the African wilderness. Whether you choose the rugged style of a mobile safari, a luxury mobile safari (Botswana) or lodges – or mix it all together, the Big Five and the lions’ power roar will soon become part of your dreams!
