The AfrikaBurn event is built with a extensive, collaborative volunteer community and gifting culture, with gifting of yourself; your enthusiasm, creativity energy and time being the most precious. The main annual AfrikaBurn event takes place in the Tankwa Karoo, located between the Northern Cape and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa.

AfrikaBurn is not an event where the usual festival survival kit (tent, booze, snacks) will be sufficient – it’s an exercise in creativity and survival in an extreme environment. So plan ahead, plan smart, and plan to bring everything you need.

Find your AfrikaBurn ticket/WAP. Alongside “Options” – Click “Transfer Tickets”. Note: This option is not available to Subsidised Ticket, Pensioner Ticket or Anathi Ticket holders. How do I get to Quaggafontein? AfrikaBurn now takes place on a farm in the Tankwa Karoo called Quaggafontein. TOP TIP: Do not use your GPS!

Please note: The AfrikaBurn event site has rather large areas that are quite sandy and we’ve marked them as best we can on the event map. These areas are great for building sandcastles and having a beach picnic, but not great for your camps.

Since it began in 2007, AfrikaBurn’s flagship event in the Tankwa Karoo has grown rapidly in population size, and in global visibility. Since the COVID years AfrikaBurn has recovered significantly, and over the previous three events (2022 – 2024) has regained it’s pre-COVID participation numbers.
