Frequently asked questions

Important answers before you begin.

Do travellers need to register as partners to make bookings?

No. Travellers only need a normal user account when an account is required for a booking. Partner registration is only for businesses and service providers that want to publish or manage travel services.

Can one partner offer both Tours and Hotels?

Yes. One business profile may be approved for several services, including Tours, Hotels, Events, Transfers, Guides and other travel-related services.

Why must I register before submitting a partner application?

Registration securely links the business to its owner. It also allows you to save progress, return to your application and manage your listings after approval.

Can several staff members manage one business?

Yes. After the business profile has been established, authorised team members may be added with roles such as Administrator, Reservations, Finance, Content Editor or Viewer.

Can I add listings immediately after applying?

The system may allow you to prepare draft information, but public publishing depends on partner and service approval. This helps maintain trust and marketplace quality.

Will every application be approved?

Approval depends on the completeness and authenticity of the information supplied, the services offered and any verification requirements applicable to the business.

Can an individual guide or small service provider apply?

Yes. The platform is designed for both independent providers and established companies, provided they meet the requirements applicable to their services.

Does Shanya Tours only accept partners based in Africa?

No. Shanya Tours supports travel opportunities across Africa and beyond. Eligible providers from other regions may apply and offer services through the marketplace.
