Travla was built by Africans who know what it's like to plan your first international trip — and decided to make it easier for everyone else.
It started with the frustration of planning trips
Travla was born in an apartment in Da Nang, Vietnam.
We were frequent travelers — moving across Africa and beyond — and every trip came with the same headaches.
E-visas that took forever to figure out. Flights and hotels that were hard to compare. Forex that felt like a gamble. Travel agents who took our money and didn't deliver.
And the group trips? Poorly organised, boring itineraries, no energy. We'd show up excited and leave disappointed.
So we asked ourselves: why is this so hard? Why does travel — something that should be exciting — feel so stressful?
That's when we decided to build Travla. A platform made by travelers, for travelers. No scams. No boring trips. No stress. Just seamless experiences from the moment you book your trip to the moment you return home.
Oluwasegun Adeyemo
11 countries and counting. Cape Town is his favourite — which is why it's the first destination on Travla. Segun travels with way too many bags (every porter has said "oh my God, your bags are heavy"). First thing he does in a new city? Find food. And don't ask him to fly economy.
Vincent Akomolafe
11 countries and counting. Vietnam holds a special place — it's where the idea for Travla was born. Vincent's first move in any new country is getting a SIM card. He collects travel tickets like souvenirs and takes more photos and videos than anyone needs. His travel rule? Never stay indoors — the city is waiting.
