Our Story
About The Grow Namibia Foundation
Namibia is home to some of the most extraordinary landscapes and wildlife on Earth. From the ancient dunes of the Namib Desert to the elephant-rich waterholes of Etosha, each national park tells a story of resilience, beauty, and conservation.
The Grow Namibia Foundation provides a streamlined permit booking service — an independent gateway created through a Memorandum of Understanding with MEFT — handling the complexity of fee calculations so you can focus on planning the journey of a lifetime.
How We Work
Independent Gateway
We are not contracted by MEFT. We operate as an independent third-party gateway, facilitated through a Memorandum of Understanding for information sharing and digitalisation.
Our relationship with the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism is formalised through an MOU that enables us to provide accurate fee calculations and permit generation.
All MEFT park entrance fees are displayed at official rates. Our facilitation fee is shown separately so you always know exactly what you're paying for.
