We Would Happily Do It Again! Our family had a magnificent trip organized by Maximum Impact (MI). MI customized our itinerary to cover South Africa (J-Burg/Cape Town) and Zambia (Victoria Falls) in 14 days. There are many reasons for our strong recommendation to book your trip with MAXIMUM IMPACT (MI). Our trip was superbly organized. Every detail in our itinerary was accurate and expertly managed. Anitha, our MI on-site coordinator and Herbie our local guide rolled with any issue we had including a lost camera, missing passport and illness . We traveled in luxury motor coaches to our destinations and MI Staff were always early, and ready to stay late. We received special treatment everywhere we went, and it was obviously because Anitha & Herbie are well known and respected. Our “Cousins Crew Family Experience” memories will bring smiles to our faces for a long time. Thanks to Maximum Impact for making this possible. Barbara/Don Armstead

This trip was soooo A-mazing!!! The tour guide Morris and his team did a phenomenal job!!!! He ensured we had the best experience and everyone felt safe and secure under his leadership and guidance. Our group became a family by the end of the trip. We had jam-packed days full of cultural experiences, history, and fun. Our lives will forever be changed. Special thank you sooo much to Morris, Irene, Vicky, George, Noah (the best bus driver on the continent), Kofi and Omar. Urban Intellectual you have done an amazing job connecting travelers with local tour guides to provide such an enriched and loving experience. I will definitely be traveling with you all again and spreading the word.

Considering the many times I have traveled specifically to Africa, I will say this was the most immersive experience. We were on a tight schedule the included the most wonderful cultural experiences. I met so many like minded people which made the group cohesive. Definitely worth the money and would have paid for a day or two extension to really relax and enjoy with a little more time. The only disappointment was the "cooking class" that was more of a demonstration and again not enough time to relax and enjoy the experience. I loved the different modes of transportation especially the ferry on the bus! this was an amazing experience with people an important aspect of every day life, traveling home. Needless to say our host and the team were very informative, personable , attentive ,knowledgeable. The size of the group was prefect. I have recommended them to others and look forward to more experiences. Too bad I've done South Africa, Tanzania, Dubai, and Egypt. I have Ghana planned but because of Monkeypox outbreak not sure.

We had a wonderful time. Each day was packed with activity as we toured historic sites. The tour guides were knowledgeable, compassionate, and enlightening. Meals were plentiful and delicious.

Life changing! Experiencing the things we’ve heard or read about, even teach about from a different perspective. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The staff extremely friendly and helpful. The variety of experiences ensured there was never a dull moment. The Maximum Impact crew that lead us through this journey were phenomenal! They ensured our learning and our safety. They exemplified being “welcoming”.

I had the absolute privilege of joining the Gateway Experience Ghana, July 2022. There's only one word to describe it - TRANSFORMATIVE. Jay has done the work and created a truly phenomenal travel experience. Because of his efforts, I connected with the ancestors, with Ghanaians, with Africans and with myself. I fell in love with Ghana and am now planning to move there. Jay and his local team - the incomparable Morris and the loyal Ernest - took care of every detail and provided a trip that was informative, enjoyable and safe. I don't think I could have that experience with any other tour operator. From now on, I will only travel with Jay and Maximum Impact when I visit any place in Africa. In fact, my group and I are planning to travel together again to Tanzania next year. It's just that deep. If you love Black people and Blackness, then love yourself by booking a trip with Maximum Impact!

Customer service exceptional! What a pleasure to work with Maximum Impact Travel for this trip. They are thorough and very attentive as there are several steps to traveling to Ghana; the entire Maximum Impact team made the booking process seamless with EASY-to-follow instructions. All questions I had were answered promptly and professionally. And, oh my goodness, once you get to Ghana, you will be warmly received by the Maximum Impact team and treated like a V.I.P. Accommodations are clean and super-comfortable and offer all amenities. Don’t hesitate booking the trip if you’re traveling solo as I was. It’s a trip of a lifetime where you will meet wonderful traveling companions, tour the country with knowledgeable guides and wish that the trip was longer. I LOVED IT! A powerful and stirring cultural tour that also includes fun-loving activities. Outstanding job by Maximum Impact. I’m already planning my next tour with you.
