EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME

My mother and I wanted to have a volunteering experience in Africa. We came across Lost Adventures and were drawn to this company more than any other. We decided to do the Rhino and Elephant Conservancy project at Imire, Zimbabwe for a week. Mikkel made the whole signing up process very smooth and gave us all necessary details for the trip. (...)

I would strongly recommend signing up to this volunteer programme with Lost Adventures. We have made memories for a lifetime and I will surely do another project with them soon!

Making a dream come true

Mikkels service and help can only be described as uncanny. I was originally going to Botswana to volunteer but there was some complications with the project there so unfortunately my trip had to be cancelled. This was 2 weeks before I was due to leave for Africa. Mikkel then went above and beyond to find me another project I could go to. He reached out to all of his contact and managed to find me another project. Since then, I've managed to stay and made myself a life there. Mikkel has more or less made one of my dream come true and I will always be grateful for what he has done for me.

Awesome training course in the..

I spent 2 weeks on an amazing Field Guide course in Botswana in the Okavango Delta. Lost Adventures took very well care of me through the whole booking process, during the trip and after my return. I always felt in good hands and had all the information I needed. I will definitely choose Lost Adventures again for my next trip to the Delta.

Amazing african safari!

Me and my grandfather were on a 9-day safari which exceeded our expectations. The mobile safari gave a really nice authentic feeling of what it's like living in the bush, the nice camp was nice and the service was 5 star. 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 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 accommodations. 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 wildebeests and zebras. This was an experience of a lifetime!

Jeg vil helt klart anbefale Mikkel

Jeg vil helt klart anbefale Mikkel, hvis man har brug for hjælp og vejledning i forbindelse med at arrangere sin rejse! Han informerede om alle de ting, som jeg havde spekuleret over i forbindelse med både flyrute og afgangetidspunkter, visa og vaccinationer, og han hjalp også med valg af selve projektet, som jeg var afsted på. Han var meget behjælpelig i forbindelse med forberedelse ang. pakningen og var hurtig til at svare på spørgsmål, som jeg spurgte om, - både flere måneder før afrejse ,-og også blot et par timer før afgang. Alt sammen gjorde, at jeg følte mig tryg og klar til at tage afsted. Jeg følte at jeg var blevet forberedt på bedst mulig vis! Det var en helt fantastisk rejse, og jeg følte at det var den bedste vejledning, som jeg kunne få ,da Mikkel dels har en masse erfaring med projekter og rejser, og dels fordi at han altid var tilgængelig og behjælpelig - og fokuserede meget på at rejsen blev tilrettelagt efter hvad jeg ønskede. :)
