Our verdict on each
eSky Partners
eSky Partners is a global travel programme for publishers already selling flights and holidays, and it runs through CJ Affiliate. Commissions run up to 10% per sale, the cookie window is 30 days, and payouts follow within 14 days monthly, with the group trading since 2004.
Go2Africa
Go2Africa suits travel publishers with a safari and lodge audience: it pays 2% of each booking plus a lead fee, monthly through Awin. The 30 day cookie matches the travel norm, support runs on email, phone and help centre, and the sums stay small enough that volume decides.

Pros and cons
eSky Partners
Pros
- Direct access: direct means a publisher deals with eSky Partners itself, with CJ Affiliate named as the route in.
- A regular payout cycle, with commissions paid within 14 days monthly, which is easier to plan around than an ad hoc schedule.
- A 30 day window covers a reader who reads a guide and checks a fare before booking, the normal buying pattern in travel.
Cons
- The rate is capped at up to 10% per sale, well short of Divebooker Distribution Partner's 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking on liveaboard bookings.
- A 30 day window is the ordinary travel figure while travel programmes here reach 90 days, so late decisions credit elsewhere.
- Coverage is narrow, with travel as the only vertical, so a generalist site has no second category to promote from the same links.
Go2Africa
Pros
- Both a booking share of 2% and a per lead payment, so research traffic counts.
- A 30 day cookie, the same as the travel median of 30.
- Payouts run monthly via Awin.
Cons
- Recurring commission is a no, so a repeat reader pays nothing.
- A booking share of 2% is thin next to Divebooker Distribution Partner at 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
- The 30 day window ranks 39 of 129 on this measure.
Who each suits
eSky Partners
Who it suits
- Publishers with converting travel traffic, since the offer covers travel only and rewards completed bookings.
- Anyone who wants a direct relationship with the advertiser: direct with CJ Affiliate as the named network.
- Audiences spread across several markets, because the offer is global rather than tied to a single market.
Who should look elsewhere
- Divebooker Distribution Partner readers who want a larger slice of each booking: it pays 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
- CashKaro readers after referral cashback: CashKaro pays 10% of friend's cashback, not commission on a travel booking.
- Publishers after a shopping offer rather than a travel one: Naver Shopping Connect pays Commission per sale or booking via link.
Go2Africa
Who it suits
- Publishers whose readers book safaris, lodges and tours
- Travel blogs and newsletters that can plan around a monthly payout
- Sites sending traffic to enquiry forms as well as booking pages
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers after a big revenue share: Divebooker Distribution Partner pays 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
- Cashback comparison publishers: CashKaro pays 10% of friend's cashback.
- Publishers hunting recurring income, since recurring commission is a no here.
Questions about each
eSky Partners
What commission does eSky Partners pay?+
The programme pays up to 10% per sale for a completed sale, which is the headline rate rather than a guaranteed return on every link. The rate suits publishers with existing travel traffic, since volume and product mix decide the final take.
How long is the cookie window?+
Attribution runs for 30 days after a click, which is the common window for travel offers. A reader who compares fares and reads guides over several visits still credits, but a much later booking falls outside the window.
Go2Africa
How much does Go2Africa pay for a booking?+
Bookings pay 2% under the stated terms of 2% per booking, $0.50-$30 per lead. That share is thin, so a publisher needs steady enquiry volume to make it worthwhile, and the lead payment can add up faster than the booking share when your content drives research rather than direct checkout.
Does the Go2Africa program pay per lead or per sale?+
Both. The model is cost per lead and cost per sale, and 2% per booking, $0.50-$30 per lead sets the two rates. A lead payment of $0.50 to $30 means a content site that collects enquiries can earn before any trip is booked, which suits safari research pages more than a hard sell.
