This definitive stamp features a dual design. On the left is a portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II, while the main vignette on the right depicts a Kirk's Dik-dik, a small antelope native to East Africa. The stamp is part of a larger series showcasing the region's diverse wildlife.

Issued for the combined postal territory of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika (modern-day Tanzania) under British colonial rule, this series was one of the first definitive sets of Queen Elizabeth II's reign for the region.
