Wakanow has been honoured as West African Travel Company of the Year in recognition of its groundbreaking role in revolutionizing travel services across the sub-region during the 8th Accra Weizo Conference in Ghana.
The accolade celebrates Wakanow’s consistent delivery of innovative, user-centric travel solutions that have simplified access to regional and international travel for millions of Africans.
With a reputation for combining cutting-edge technology, outstanding customer service, and an expansive network, Wakanow has become a key player in promoting intra-African travel. From seamless flight bookings to holiday packages and visa assistance, the company continues to break barriers and reshape the travel experience for both leisure and business travellers.
WAKANOW recently added new operations in Nine Markets Across Africa, North America, and Europe, reflecting Wakanow’s strategic commitment to meet growing demand across continents.
The newly launched markets include: United States, South Africa, Canada, Morocco, France, Senegal, Algeria, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
At Wakanow, we believe travel should be seamless, inclusive, and borderless – especially for Africans. Whether you’re booking a holiday from Johannesburg, planning a business trip from Montreal, or visiting family from Paris to Dakar, Wakanow is now right there with you,” said Bayo Adedeji, Group CEO of Wakanow.
Wakanow’s impact is especially vital in West Africa, where travel remains challenging due to border complexities, underdeveloped infrastructure, and limited connectivity. By offering reliable, efficient, and affordable options, the company is helping to bridge the gap and make travel more inclusive and accessible within the continent.
This recognition also highlights Wakanow’s alignment with the broader goals of regional integration and tourism development. In a region rich with culture and attractions but still recording low inbound tourism figures, Wakanow’s work supports efforts to simplify travel processes, boost domestic tourism, and encourage collaboration among West African nations.
