INTRODUCING LOST ADVENTURES

Some journeys begin with a carefully laid plan; others unfold in ways you never expect.

My own path started with the dream of becoming a pilot, but everything changed in 2008 when I encountered a leopard named Lost in Namibia. That moment sparked a passion for wildlife conservation, leading me to co-found the Modisa Wildlife Project in Botswana with Valentin Grüner in 2010. Together, we set out to protect Botswana’s wildlife and create opportunities for people to connect with nature through conservation and research.

In 2018, I expanded this vision by founding Lost Adventures - named in honor of the leopard that set me on this path. Today, Lost Adventures specializes in curating exceptional safaris and transformative travel experiences, taking travelers to extraordinary destinations while fostering a deeper connection to the natural world.

At Lost Adventures, every journey is more than just a trip - it’s an opportunity to explore, discover, and immerse yourself in the wonders of nature. Whether tracking wildlife in Botswana’s remote wilderness, unwinding on the pristine beaches of the Maldives, or engaging in impactful conservation efforts, each adventure is designed to inspire lasting memories and a profound appreciation for our planet.

Start your journey with Lost Adventures, where exploration, conservation, and connection come together. Get in touch with us to create unforgettable experiences that showcase the wonders of our planet.

What Our Travelers Say

I have just come back from fairytale holiday in Botswana and Tanzania

"I have just come back from a week of Safari at Seregenti, in Tanzania and was previously for a month at Modisa in Botswana.Both these holidays were organised by Mikkel of Lost Adventures. I had a fairytale time in both! Immersed in Nature at Modisa I lived alongside the wildlife sharing the same space with lions, oryx, elands, wildebeest, springbox, etc. (...) This amazing fairytale holiday of mine continued with my week of Safari in Serengeti in Tanzania. (...)
Amazing time I had! I can't recommend Lost Adventures enough for creating a holiday tailored to my personal needs, for their excellent communication and overall for the very high quality of these two holidays in both Botswana and Tanzania I had through them. Thank you Mikkel of Lost Adventures."

Our first safari trip went to Tanzania

"Our first safari trip went to Tanzania. We visit Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and then we flew on to Northern Serengeti. Mikkel Legarth arranged and tailored our six-days experience. From the first contact Mikkel delivered the most professional and excellent service. The itinerary was detailed and updated as we went along. The beautiful pictures matched completely. In Tanzania Asilia Company gave us a superb and outstanding service. The two guides Erasto and Amos were top professional and had an impressive knowledge. All the staff at Gibb’s Farm and Sayari Camp were perfect hosts considering our needs and wishes all the time. Both gave us the little extra that makes the experience even better and memorable.
Mikkel did a fantastic job as he ensured that everything was according to the plan - all the way.
We warmly recommend Lost Adventures- as all parties show a genuine interest in the guests and their dreams."

The best family safari experience

”Lost Adventures arranged a 7-day family safari for me and my two kids (age 11 and 17) in Tanzania. The program was set up perfectly! We stayed at different lodges and camps, with the nicest people and excellent accomodations. Our guide was the best! Everyday he delivered animal experiences that exceeded our expectations, and we got to see the big five - and all the other animals we had hoped for, like giraffes and huge herds of wilderbeasts and zebras. This was an experience of a lifetime!”

Amazing african safari

”Me and my grandfather were on a 9-day safari which exceeded our expectations. (…) We heard lions, hyenas, and hippos calling close to our tent, and even one night an elephant passed by. The chef was amazing and made the most amazing food under the circumstances of living in the bush. We saw a big diversity of animals all the way from crocodiles to cheetahs and leopards, and their behavior was extraordinary to look at. We can't thank Mikkel enough for planning this trip well through and being available to assist us 24/7!”

The trip of a lifetime!

”Mikkel and Lost Adventures made true my dream of solo traveling in Africa!
I spent the most amazing two weeks in Botswana and Zimbabwe. (…) The whole trip exceeded all my expectations, and I will always be grateful for Mikkel’s help and engagement. He has a lot of knowledge about many different places in Africa and has an innate talent to find the perfect places that suit his clients. He was always available for questions during the planning of the trip as well as while I was traveling.
I strongly recommend Mikkel and Lost Adventures! He will make your dreams come true!”
