Our Office Spaces

Our office space is a key enabler of our business vision and provides the needed environment for our talented and dedicated people to deliver their best work each day. It is a place where our talents can work effectively and collaboratively with our existing and new clients, in the relentless quest to address seemingly intractable problems and transform Africa. In naming our offices, we wanted to reflect some of the excellence that Africa is noted for and for which Verraki is proud to be associated with.

Our office hosts Verraki’s growing team of business architects, technology experts, venture builders and design thinkers, and features new collaborative and creative spaces: photos below.

Wits
01

The Witwatersrand Basin, in South Africa, holds the world’s largest known gold reserves and has produced over 1.5 billion ounces (over 40,000 metric tons), representing about 50% of all the gold ever mined on earth. The Wits semi-enclosed workspace is home to our Finance/HR teams.

Oloibiri
02

Oloibiri is a historic town to the oil and gas industry in West Africa being the home of the region’s first oil well and Nigeria’s first commercial oil discovery. The discovery of oil in Oloibiri in June 1956 automatically qualified Nigeria to join the group of oil producers in the world, with an initial production of 5,000 barrels of oil per day from oil wells in Oloibiri. Oloibiri is our Collaboration Room.

Victoria Falls
03

Victoria Falls (indigenous Loz name: Mosi-oa-Tunya meaning “The Smoke That Thunders”) is a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls is classified as the largest waterfall in the world, based on its combined width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108 metres (354 ft), resulting in the world’s largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls is our meeting room 3.

Karueein
04

The oldest existing and continually operating educational institution in the world is the University of Karueein (al-Qarawiyyin), founded in 859 AD in Fez, Morocco. Karueein lays claim to leading advances in science, maths, and philosophy and is one of the only universities in the world established by a woman, specifically an African woman. Karueein is our Phone Booth 1.

Nile
05

The Nile River, a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa called “father of African rivers” is the longest river in the world. It rises south of the Equator and flows northward to drain into the Mediterranean Sea. It has a length of about 4,132 miles (6,650 kilometres) and drains an area estimated at 1,293,000 square miles (3,349,000 square kilometres). Its basin includes Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. Nile is our Phone Booth 2 which doubles as a sleep pod.

Kilimanjaro
06

Kilimanjaro is the highest single free-standing mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa with its summit of 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above sea level and about 4,900 metres (16,100 ft) above its plateau base. Kilimanjaro is our Meeting Room 1.

Sahara
07

The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world. Located in North Africa, it covers large sections of the continent – an area of 9,200,000 square kilometres which is comparable to the size of China or the United States. Sahara is our Meeting room 2.
