ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Maximum Impact Tours was founded by entrepreneur, playwright, author, and philanthropist, Jay Cameron. Realizing that most of his life had been consumed working domestically, a trip to Ghana changed his perspective. His experience transformed the way he saw traveling. As a result, he set out to encourage others to see the world through their own eyes and not only through the eyes of television and social media.

OUR MISSION

Maximum Impact Travel’s vision is to bring together those who want to visit and learn more about the African diaspora.
