Question 1

What does Wakanow do?

Accepted Answer

Wakanow is Nigeria's leading online travel agency, providing Nigerian travelers and businesses with comprehensive booking capabilities for domestic and international flights, hotels, vacation packages, and travel insurance through one of the most trusted travel brands in the country. The Wakanow B2B API and partner program extends Wakanow's booking capabilities to travel businesses and developers building travel applications for the Nigerian market.

As the dominant Nigerian-built OTA, Wakanow has invested in direct relationships with Nigerian airlines and has built inventory connections specifically optimized for the Nigerian travel market. This local expertise translates into accurate and up-to-date flight inventory for Air Peace, Ibom Air, United Nigeria Airlines, and other domestic Nigerian carriers — content that global GDS systems sometimes represent inconsistently. For any application prioritizing domestic Nigerian flight booking, Wakanow's direct carrier relationships provide a reliability advantage.

Domestic flight coverage spans routes between Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Enugu, Owerri, Benin City, Uyo, Calabar, Akure, Asaba, and other Nigerian cities served by domestic carriers. This comprehensive domestic network coverage is essential for Nigerian corporate travel management companies booking employee travel between Nigerian cities, which is a high-volume use case for large Nigerian organizations with operations in multiple states.

International flight booking through Wakanow covers routes from Nigerian airports to global destinations, leveraging GDS connections to provide airline content for carriers like Emirates, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, and others operating from Nigeria. Nigerian travel agencies and corporate travel tools that need to book both domestic and international flights can use Wakanow as a single API source covering both needs.

Hotel booking capabilities cover Nigerian accommodation options as well as international hotels at popular Nigerian outbound travel destinations. Wakanow has built preferred rate agreements with Nigerian hotels and partners with international hotel suppliers for outbound market coverage. The hotel inventory supports the standard search, availability, booking, and cancellation workflow.

Visa assistance services integrated into the Wakanow platform help Nigerian travelers navigate the complex visa application process for international destinations. For a market where visa challenges significantly impact travel planning, the ability to access visa information and support as part of the booking workflow is a meaningful differentiator that Nigerian-market-aware platforms should consider.

Travel insurance products offered through Wakanow protect Nigerian travelers against trip cancellation, medical emergencies, lost baggage, and other travel risks. Integrating travel insurance upsell into booking workflows is a standard practice among professional travel agencies and adds value to the complete travel booking experience.

The Wakanow B2B partner program is accessible to Nigerian travel agencies, corporations, and technology companies that want to integrate Wakanow booking capabilities into their own systems. The partner commercial terms are designed for the Nigerian market context, making Wakanow a more commercially accessible entry point than global GDS providers for Nigerian businesses building travel technology with a domestic Nigerian market focus. Wakanow's established brand recognition among Nigerian travelers means that incorporating Wakanow booking capabilities within partner applications benefits from the trust and credibility that Wakanow has built through years of serving Nigerian travelers. Nigerian corporate travel managers who already trust Wakanow for their personal travel are more likely to embrace Wakanow-powered corporate travel management tools than unfamiliar international alternatives.
