AfrikaBurn 2025: 28 April to 4 May

AfrikaBurn Event Rules

Last updated: October 2024

AfrikaBurn is an event where (almost) anything goes, but you still need to be responsible for yourself, while ensuring you’re also not affecting anyone else’s experience. It can be a hard line to tread when everything is ‘trickster this’ and ‘fu*k your burn that’, which is why we’ve put together guidelines that will help you navigate (and get the most out of) Tankwa Town. 

Read through the list, and remember to check back as we get closer to the event! This page gets updated as we get closer…

  1. The Guiding Principles! Read these first.
  2. Refund Policy & Communicable Illness Policies 
  3. Ticket Purchase Agreement
