I recently went on a safari trip organized by Penny Pinching Globetrotters (my first with this group), and it was incredible from start to finish! The best part? Everything was planned for us — all I had to do was get myself there. It made traveling so stress-free and enjoyable. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in adventure. The itinerary was packed with a variety of activities that gave us an amazing taste of the wildlife and the culture of East Africa. We saw elephants, lions, zebras, gazelles, hyenas, and so much more — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Each day brought something new and exciting, and the guides, Darlene especially, were knowledgeable and friendly, which made the trip even more meaningful. Another highlight was the group itself. I met such great people — fellow travelers who were curious, adventurous, and so much fun to be around. By the end of the trip, we were already talking about where to go next together! If you’re looking for a well-organized, affordable, and unforgettable experience, I can’t recommend Penny Pinching Globetrotters enough. I can’t wait for our next adventure!

The Gorilla Trek with PPGT was amazing. I was apprehensive about my first time traveling solo but everyone on the trip was inclusive and welcoming and I will stay in touch with many of my new friends. The trip was very well organized and our guide, Darlene was wonderful. The entire trip was a great experience and it ranks at the top of all of my travels. I would definitely book with PPGT again.

Never in my wildest dream would I have thought that I would go trekking in Uganda looking for Gorillas. Boy, am I glad I did. I bushwhacked my way through the jungle and saw the gorillas up close. What a fun adventure that I’m glad I didn’t miss. We also visited the beautiful country of Rwanda. Another well planned trip, with the best of the best guide, Darlene, wonderful jeep drivers and a fun group of travel buddies. Another great adventure with Penny Pinching Globetrotters.

I cannot say enough good things about this trip. So much fun was packed into 2 weeks. The trip was well planned so that we did not miss anything in East Africa. We had a fantastic guide, and great jeep drivers. We experienced safari adventures, so many animals to see, adventurous places to stay, a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. We had home visits and lunch with a local family, visited tribes where we saw first hand how they live. Also, made many new travel buddies.This was a trip of a lifetime.

What an amazing trip! Like every other trip with this group it was well planned and hassle free! The accommodations were better than expected for being out in the middle of the Serengeti! Had a great time and can’t wait for my next trip with PPG!!

Penny Pinching Globetrotter is a Trump hating travel group that travels the world with like-minded individuals that hate Trump.

I was one of those people that was a bit against tour group travel. I was not too excited about big groups following a flag around or eating at mediocre places because they are included in the package. But then an acquaintance introduced me to Penny Pinching Globetrotters & my feelings about group travel are changing! Their small group size, the freedom of exploring on your own & the wonderful people that seem to gravitate towards Melissa & Wade are big factors influencing & changing my view on group travel. I have just completed my second trip with them, Slovenia & Croatia and it did not disappoint. My first trip was to Galapagos & it exceeded my expectations. I have another trip booked for Africa & will probably will join them in Asia next year. I might be a convert after all!! Thank you Melissa & Wade!

My family has been my rock.....my greatest source of strength when my world was falling apart. When I told them about my plans to get back to traveling and the possibility of traveling solo, they all had the same request....please don't go 100% alone...find you a group or tour company. After looking at more than I can remember and realizing that most just weren't the right fit for me, I found Melissa and Wade and Penny Pinching Globetrotter. Their small group sizes, culturally immersive and eco-touristic active itineraries were just what I was looking for. With the opportunity to journey through a new country with like minded travelers, I was sure that this group was for me. Even though I would be traveling alone both to and from the destination, once there, I would still be traveling to meet new people and experience new things...just not completely on my own. And I was right! I had a wonderful experience with a terrific group of people that began as strangers, but ended as friends ❤️
