Our verdict
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
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.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre.
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 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.
Commission and cookie
Go2Africa pays 2% per booking, $0.50-$30 per lead, so the booking share and the lead payment both count. The model is cost per lead and cost per sale, which suits sites that send readers to enquiry forms as well as sites that send them straight to a booking page. The cookie runs 30 days, the same as the travel median of 30. Recurring commission is a no, so there is nothing on later bookings from the same reader.
The company behind it
Go2Africa is based in South Africa and runs a direct program in the travel vertical, so a publisher here is promoting trips rather than goods. Partners are taken from global rather than a single market, and the contact routes run on email, phone and help centre, which puts a phone and a help centre behind a question about a lead or a booking.
Frequently asked questions
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.
How long is the Go2Africa cookie window?+
The cookie lasts 30 days, the same as the travel median of 30. Safari trips are planned slowly, so the window is a fair match for a considered decision, and it sits well under the longest window in the group at 365.
When are Go2Africa payouts made?+
Payouts are monthly via Awin, so commission lands monthly rather than on demand. Awin handles the payment, which means the usual network terms apply to your account, and a small booking share means volume, not a single conversion, moves your balance.
Who suits the Go2Africa program?+
Publishers whose readers book safaris, lodges and tours. The program is open to global partners, sits in the travel vertical, and pays for both enquiries and bookings, so a site with a research audience can earn from traffic that never converts. A single market focus is not required.
How do Go2Africa affiliates get support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers email, phone and a help centre. That matters for a program where lead quality matters as much as volume, since a publisher can ask about a lead that did not convert instead of waiting on a form reply.
Is there recurring commission on Go2Africa?+
Recurring commission is a no. Every payment depends on a fresh booking or a fresh lead, so a publisher cannot bank income from the same reader twice. If repeat commission matters more than booking volume, a revenue share deal such as Divebooker Distribution Partner at 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking works differently.
Can publishers outside South Africa join Go2Africa?+
The program is open to global partners while the company sits in South Africa, so a publisher elsewhere is not excluded. Payment runs through Awin, and how quickly a payout clears depends on the network schedule rather than the advertiser.
