Travel in Nigeria has evolved to a great extent from a primitive traditional system to a more refined one, via the web. With travel logistics companies on the rise, people can now book and plan their travels at the comfort of their own homes without dreading the uncertainties and setbacks that are typical in a faulty travel system.
This article covers the top 5 Travel websites that Nigerians can count on when planning to book their next trip.
Wakanow https://www.wakanow.com/en-ng/wakanow.com
Wakanow emerged to take off the burdens on Nigerians who had to go through the grueling traditional means of travel. Being the first of its kind, the platform came to prominence during the 2010 World Cup where it was selected as one of the ticket sellers. Since then, Wakanow formerly Zeeptravel, has become a household name in the Nigerian travel sphere.
Founded by Obinna Okeke and Ralph Tamuno in 2008, Wakanow has expanded its services to countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Dubai, and Ghana.
Travel Start https://www.travelstart.com.ng/travelstart.com.ng

Travelbetahttps://www.travelbeta.com/play.google.com/store
One of the newest players in the business of travel but also one of the fastest rising, Travelbeta has emerged to provide more travel options for the growing number of Nigerians across the country. Travelbeta was founded by Onyeka Akumah, Wole Ayorinde, and David Asuku, who transformed the company form an offline service to an online one in July 2015. With an impressive feat of closing a $2 million seed fund barely six weeks after it began operations, it is safe to say Travelbeta is on the right track.
