INTRODUCING LOST ADVENTURES

Imagine starting a journey to become a pilot and finding yourself in the heart of the African wilderness.

This is the story of Mikkel, whose encounter with a leopard named Lost in Namibia in 2008 redirected his path from the skies to the savannah. Inspired by this pivotal moment, he co-founded the Modisa Wildlife Project in Botswana with Valentin Grüner in 2010, embarking on a mission to protect Botswana’s majestic wildlife and foster a deeper connection between humans and nature through conservation and research.

In 2018, Mikkel expanded his passion by founding Lost Adventures—named in honor of the leopard who inspired his journey. Today, Lost Adventures specializes in crafting incredible safaris and transformative travel experiences that connect travelers with extraordinary destinations and meaningful adventures around the world.

At Lost Adventures, each journey is more than a trip—it’s an invitation to explore, discover, and immerse yourself in the wonders of nature. Whether searching for iconic wildlife across Botswana’s untamed wilderness, unwinding on the serene beaches of the Maldives, or supporting impactful conservation efforts, every adventure is designed to inspire lasting memories and a profound connection to the world around you.

What Our Travelers Say

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!”

Målfrid Røe

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!”
