Adventures With Virginia

Adventures With Virginia I curate and lead private, luxury safaris across southern Africa, that protect wildlife, uplift communities, and change lives — including yours.

Travel With Meaning
Adventures With Virginia — a division of Ken Moody Safaris. Adventures With Virginia is where luxury, purpose, and true African adventure meet. I’m a native Tennessean who splits my time equally between the USA and Southern Africa, personally designing and hosting every journey. I’m not an agent — I’m a hands-on operator who lives this work, rooted in the wildlife, the land, an

d the communities we serve. My husband’s company, Ken Moody Safaris, has been operating in Southern Africa for more than 30 years. When Ken brought me into his world a decade ago, I was all in — and from that foundation, I built Adventures With Virginia. Through his long-standing reputation and relationships, I’ve developed close personal connections with our preferred lodges, guides, and associates. These are the kinds of trusted partnerships that only decades of legacy can create, and they allow me to craft experiences far beyond what any travel agent or third-party planner could ever offer. My safaris are created for travelers who want more than a vacation. From hiking alongside Africa’s iconic wildlife to immersive cultural experiences in rural villages, every itinerary is tailored just for you. Enjoy photographic expeditions, w**e tastings in world-class vineyards, horseback safaris, traditional art workshops, and heartfelt cultural exchanges that stay with you long after you return home. I work exclusively with intimate, handpicked lodges that blend luxury with purpose. Each property plays an active role in conservation and community uplift — from protecting threatened species to supporting women-led projects, preschools, and after-school programs I am personally involved in. When you travel with me, you directly support these life-changing efforts. With a focus on small, private groups, every moment is personal, safe, and thoughtfully curated — far from the crowds and far from anything a traditional “tourist trip” could ever offer. Ready to create the safari of your dreams? Let’s make it meaningful. Let’s make it unforgettable. Let’s make it yours. Adventures With Virginia — a division of Ken Moody Safaris.

I had just experienced one of the most life-changing spa treatments of my life. Walking back to my room to get ready for dinner, I opened the door and thought they were piping relaxing music through the speakers.

Then I noticed the invitation on my desk: live music and cocktails poolside, right on the beach.

I stepped onto my patio and it was surreal. Looking snazzy for dinner took a back seat — I followed the music almost hypnotically. Pure magic. One of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

This is exactly the kind of hidden gem I love bringing to my Adventures With Virginia clients. Travel With Meaning isn’t just a tagline — it’s moments like this. ✨

There’s a particular kind of quiet Mauritius gives you in low season, a beach with no footprints but your own.

My guest arrived here carrying more than her suitcase. She’s the one who shows up for everyone else, who gives until there’s nothing left to give. For years, she carried her mother’s care alone. And then she carried the loss of her, too. She needed somewhere no one needed anything from her.

So we let the island do what it does. Slow mornings. No agenda but rest.

Watching the light come back into her face, this is the whole reason I do this work! Travel doesn’t fix grief. But it can give it somewhere quiet to settle.

✨ This is Travel With Meaning.

“I only asked for one glass…”

“Yes, madame.” 😂

What arrived was an entire silver bowl of bubbles — because this is Mauritius, and everything here is a little extra. This is exactly why I travel the way I do: for the moments that make you laugh out loud and feel completely spoiled.

Beach lodge, meet your new fan girl. 🥂

Mauritius, a floppy hat, and the best company.

Just another day ‘at the office’ with one of our incredible solo travelers — because the best trips happen with the right guide by your side.
