Wakanow is Nigeria’s number one online travel agency, helping millions of travelers find the best flight deals, book hotels, plan vacations, and enjoy seamless travel experiences.
Founded in 2008, the company has grown into Africa’s leading travel-tech brand, known for making travel accessible, affordable, and stress-free for everyone from students to families to business travelers.
As Nigeria’s first indigenous online travel booking agency, Wakanow began with a simple goal: to close the gaps in the local travel industry using technology and customer-focused solutions.
The company made its big mark during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, when it helped thousands of Nigerians travel with ease, setting a new standard for convenience and reliability in the country’s travel scene.
Today, Wakanow is more than just a flight search engine. It’s a complete travel companion. Through its all-in-one platform, users can compare airline ticket prices, book cheap flights, reserve hotels, arrange airport transfers, secure travel insurance, and even get visa assistance all from one place.
With flexible “Book Now, Pay Later” options and 24/7 online access via its website or app, travelers can plan their trips anytime, anywhere, and pay in local currency.
Wakanow’s mission is clear: to make travel planning, payment, and experiences simple, secure, and enjoyable. The company’s vision is to remain Nigeria’s most trusted travel brand by offering unbeatable deals, exclusive packages, and travel services that go beyond just booking a flight.
Backed by over 15 years of experience, Wakanow has expanded its operations across Africa and beyond, with offices in Ghana, the UAE, the UK, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Togo, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin Republic, and Cameroon.
Its acquisition of Oya.com has also extended its reach into local transport bookings, showing its commitment to serving travelers at every level.
