Overview

About WakaFinds

WakaFinds helps travellers find places worth visiting across Nigeria, from restaurants and hotels to museums, parks and historic landmarks.

We built the platform around how people actually search: by place type, by state, and by what other travellers rate highly.

Background

The scope

A discovery platform is only useful if people can find the right place quickly and trust what they read. That meant clear categories, a way to explore by location, and reviews from real travellers.

It also needed a way for the platform to grow: visitors can submit places they know about, which are reviewed before they appear.
