About us

Since its inception in 2008, Wakanow, our parent company, has proudly pioneered the role of Nigeria's first Online Tour Operator and Travel Arranger 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.

In its 15 years of existence, Wakanow has grown to become one of Africa’s leading travel booking portals, with physical presence in Nigeria, UAE, Ghana, UK, Liberia, Sierra-Leone, Gambia, Togo, Cote d'ivoire, Benin Republic, Cameroon and aggressive plans to open new offices across Africa. With convenient payment systems, 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.

With the acquisition of Oya.com, 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 Africa’s travel business landscape and boosting the profile of the industry in general.

Wakanow Champions Hydration Awareness on World Water Day

As part of its commitment to corporate social responsibility, Wakanow provided 20,000 bottles of co-branded water and financial support to ensure the success of this life-changing initiative. The campaign focused on educating Lagos residents about the importance of hydration while highlighting the broader issue of access to clean water, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation.

The H2O Wellness Campaign was an extensive outreach effort, touching lives across several key locations in Lagos, including Lekki, Ikoyi, Sangotedo, Victoria Island, Ikate, and Ikeja. Volunteers distributed water bottles in high-traffic areas, offices, schools, religious centres, and marketplaces, ensuring maximum impact. The initiative also included on-foot engagements, direct community interactions, and public awareness talks on hydration and water accessibility.

Wakanow’s involvement in the campaign was about more than just distributing water; it was about driving meaningful conversations around the need for clean water for all. By engaging with thousands of Lagosians, the campaign created awareness about the dangers of dehydration and advocated for improved water infrastructure to meet the growing needs of urban communities.

Wakanow’s Commitment to Community Well-being

Speaking on Wakanow’s involvement, Omotunde Bajo, Group CFO of Wakanow, reinforced the company’s dedication to giving back to society. “At Wakanow, we understand that travel, tourism, and community well-being go hand in hand. Access to clean water is a basic human right, and we are proud to support this initiative that not only promotes hydration but also addresses a crucial societal challenge,” she said

The campaign’s impact was significant, with over 10.6 million people reached through radio broadcasts and 25,000 direct engagements at various distribution points. The overwhelming response from beneficiaries underscored the importance of such initiatives in bridging the water accessibility gap.
