"Hi Guys. I know there is a lot of emphasis on the "burns", but please keep them supported, and emphasised. It was the first time they weren't as impressive as they normally are. Having got that out of the way, the whole event was amazing. The sound camps and vehicles were better than ever. I also liked the fact that theme camps were spread throughout the suburbs. Well done, all of you!"

"Experience of a lifetime. My only feedback is that there should be more toilets on the plier as it’s a very far walk to try and get to toilets. Thank you for putting together an absolutely unbelievable event. I will never forget it. "

"Great festival with so many lovely people spreading joy. Maybe too dance music orientation at night, preferably more workshops or live music. Stage as Soul of Alrakis didnt bring any added value, prefer keeping it intimate, this didnt make much sense as it was always empty."

"I had a magical experience at my first AfrikaBurn! It was a powerful way to experience community and reimagine what society could look like. I have two pieces of constructive criticism. 1. It would be helpful to have more hand sanitizer available at the toilets and throughout Tankwa Town, especially in the wake of COVID. 2. I was a bit shocked by some of the homophobic and racist comments I heard and the cultural appropriation of white people in headdresses, braids, and other styles that would be considered a big no-no where I'm from. It would be amazing to have more explicit community guidelines about the language we use and the styles we wear. We should have candid conversations about power dynamics and what it means for people with racial and class privilege to wear the styles of historically marginalized and oppressed groups."
