In partnership with Namibia Post Limited (NamPost) Gondwana now offers personalized stamps at three of its accommodation facilities. The ‘real’ postage stamp shows one of Namibia’s attractions and is attached to a blank stamp for a picture of the buyer’s choice, e.g. a portrait of themselves.
The personalized stamps are available in units of five. Stamps offered at
Etosha Safari Camp show animals at a waterhole in
Etosha National Park. The theme chosen for
Damara Mopane Lodge is the nearby World Heritage Site of
Twyfelfontein and the stamps of
Namib Desert Lodge feature
Sossusvlei. Stamps with the
Fish River Canyon will be available at
Cañon Roadhouse from the middle of September.
Well-known Namibian artist Helge Denker, whose postage stamps won the Stamp World Cup in 1999 and 2003, came up with the idea for designing Gondwana’s stamps. They are N$ 6.40 each, which is the postage for a postcard to detonations overseas.
The production of personalized stamps at our lodges is quite easy. Guests’ pictures can be taken at the reception or guests can bring their own pictures on a flash drive. With a special printer the pictures are then reproduced on the blanks of the existing sheet of stamps. It is an uncomplicated procedure which takes about five minutes. The price for a sheet of five personalized stamps is N$ 55.00 and a different picture can be used for each of the five stamps.
