About Wakanow
Established in 2008, Wakanow was founded as Nigeria's first OTA (Online Travel Agent) to bridge the gap and eliminate the barriers and inefficiencies facing the travel industry. Two years after its launch, the site fully took off around the period of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, affording it the much needed early kick-off momentum.
Over the years, Wakanow has grown to become one of Africa's leading travel booking portals, with physical presence in Nigeria, UAE, Ghana, USA, Liberia, Sierra-Leone, Gambia, Togo, Cote d'ivoire, Benin, Cameroon. The Company continues to make aggressive plans to open new offices across Africa. With a convenient payment system, excellent customer service, and technology at the core of its operations, Wakanow has expanded the frontiers of travel, becoming a formidable force in the African travel landscape. In2013, Wakanow was recognized as one of the fastest growing online companies in Nigeria by the Tony Elumelu Foundation in alliance with the All World Networks based in the UK.
With the acquisition of Oya.com Limited, a local transport ticketing online agency and the commencement of specialized services to corporate and high-end clients, Wakanow has once again raised the bar in tapping into the wealth of opportunities that exist in the African travel business landscape and boosting the profile of the industry in general.
