Namibia is well known for its unique way of celebrating its festivals like Bank Windhoek Arts Festival, Enjando Street Festival, Windhoek Karneval, Africa Day, Kuste Karneval, Heroes’ Day (Maharero Day), Oktoberfest, etc. Many foreigners or travelers also take part in the celebration and enjoy it.

Namibia introduced a new five-digit postal code in December 2018 which has seven postal regions or areas. The names of the postal regions are Oshakati, Tsumeb, Otjiwarongo, Swakopmund, Windhoek, Mariental, and Keetmanshoop. Apart from these regions, a new postal outlet has been operating since 1995.

There were more than 137 post offices and the postal codes are not in Namibia. Its territory is divided into 14 regions which are subdivided into 121 constituencies. The regions names are Kunene, Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Kavango East, Zambezi, Erongo, Otjozondjupa, Omaheke, Khomas, Hardap, IlKaras, and Kavango West. At first, there was so much controversy over the places which were registered under the postal code office, but then slowly every region in Namibia got its postal codes. The postal code is segregated in such a way that each of the postal codes is different.
