"We'd an extraordinary time living in Tankwa town. This is a massive thank you to everyone!"

"I think this was a great burn, except for two small things, the location is horribly sandy and made moving around very challenging. I also felt that the burn was split into two areas because of the massive dune that we all had to move around. I preferred the old site. I also think all the naked runners distracted the burns, we struggled to take pictures and they made it hard to actually enjoy the burn of the sculptures. We all love a couple of naked hippies here and there but I think the foreign invasion was disrespectful and it was not about celebrating art, more about saying to friends ' I ran naked' at Afrikaburn'. Apart from that the art was first class, the Steampunk Saloon Girls was the best and it was so nice to be back in the dust. Thanks to everyone that made the burn possible. "

"My 4th Burn and a top contender to being my favourite ?? The Steampunk Saloon are a fabulous family to Burn with. And the chill spaces this year were kitted and decorated to the MAX! Only major complaint is it felt like nothing was being done to reprimand camps that played music well beyond the allocated hours (one camp on the Binnekring literally never stopped playing music). Finally, much better representation all-round in terms of the music, spaces and attendees. It truly felt like I was at an African celebration and I hope to see this improving in coming years."

"Great organisation and superb effort and logistics under those conditions. I do understand the environmental impact and logistics but if there is any way to improve the toilets it would be great. Not so much the open air situation, but the smell really got to me. Also, just a note, we saw alot of black refuse bags littered on the sand road towards Ceres on Monday. For the rest, well done guys!!!"
