Lost Adventures was founded by Mikkel Legarth from Denmark, with the mission providing immersive and unforgettable wilderness experiences that connect travelers with Africa's natural beauty and diverse cultures while also supporting wildlife conservation efforts.
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.
