The Republic of Namibia is in southern Africa. Its western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It has land borders with Zambia and Angola in the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east. Namibia gained independence from South Africa in 1990. Before independence it was known as South West Africa. Its capital is Windhoek. The name of the country is taken from the Namib Desert which covers a large part of the country.
Namibian stamps have won many prizes in international competitions and are regarded as amongst the most beautiful stamps in the world. In 2011 a weekly series called “Stamps and Stories” was launched. Every week a story was published about a specific stamp. The stories were very well received and many readers even requested copies of a story that they had missed. Eventually a book was published with the same name.
