I will be shining the spotlight on successful businesses and also highlighting how they did it

Today, the spotlight is on Wakanow, Africa's largest travel agency

Wakanow was founded in 2008 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. Wakanow provides its customers with a one stop online booking portal for flights, hotels, holiday packages and other travel services

In its 12 years of existence, Wakanow has grown to become one of Africa’s leading travel booking portals, with physical presence in Nigeria, UAE, Ghana, UK, US and aggressive plans to open new offices across Africa. With convenient payment system, excellent customer service and technology anchored at the center of its processes, Wakanow has expanded the frontiers of travel to become a force to be reckoned with in the African travel landscape. In 2013, 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

Wakanow goal is to be their customer's indispensable and trusted travel companion. To constantly excite them with travel deals, packages and services that are unobtainable elsewhere

Cheers to more success Wakanow
