Stamps of Botswana

Botswana is a country in southern Africa surrounded by Namibia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Since 1966, Botswana is a Commonwealth republic and issues its own stamps. Before 1966, the stamps used were those of Bechuanaland.

One of the first thematic series, issued in 1967, is about birds.

In addition to traditional thematic series, Botswana also issues stamps on local life.

• Life in the Okavango Delta (broadcast in 1978)

• Traditional foods (issued in 1985)

The first souvenir sheet, issued in 1968, commemorates the opening of the National Museum of the Arts.
