"Incredible! Our first burn, our first artwork build & now you'll never be able to get rid of us! Our 7yr old cried when we told her we needed to go back home the next day."

"Our 1st burn was 2019. The new venue is beautiful, and the road in and out was good. We missed the taped out roads but lighting was good. The toilets were more accessible than our last time in 2019, and well managed, bravo, but were definitely more whiffy than having them more on the outskirts. Toilets at the entrance were badly positioned and ponged out the queue, but sequence was fair. Felt like too many foreigners in attendance and not enough locals, and as a result it felt as if this affects the level of gifting and the lengths people go to as its the mostly locals who bring the big camp stuff, gift, and do the big missions, while the foreigners just fly in and come lite. Loved the amapiano camp and seeing more black South Africans, we connected and it felt good- need more black locals. Seemed like there were too many small camps on the binnekring that didn’t have enough gravity and faded, and that some kind of measurable minimum effort is required to have a front row camp that works well. We missed the wine bar from 2019 on the corner of the welcome road and binnekring that was for us an anchor camp. Installations were fabulous but some debris was left behind nearby that marred the photo opportunities, (wierd ugly roll of wire next to the colour changing pyramids.) lastly the music mix was a bit too limited. I mean I love my techno but there is still so much scope for other genres, eighties, rock and indies. Otherwise sublime, we loved it and thank you for all the effort, a truly beautiful experience!"
