Project Description:

THE HUGGAS AND THE LITTLE BOOKIE NOOK

Meet the Oxytocin Team – Home of the Huggas!

If human connection is your art form and hugs are your medium, then you’ve found your tribe. At Huggas Camp, we celebrate warmth, joy, and the sneaky science of oxytocin – that little rush of happiness only a good hug can bring.

Every morning and afternoon, our apron‑clad Huggas prepare to top up the Binnekring with love. Step up to our “Hug Menu” and choose your embrace: gentle squeeze, bear hug, slow melt, or anything in between. Not seeing what you need? Order “off‑menu” – innovation is how new hugs are born! Whether you’re giving or receiving, you’ll leave a little lighter than before.

Our Hug Lounge is the heart of the camp – a soft, glowing nest of cushions, mats, fairy lights, and mellow music. It’s a place to land, recharge, and connect. Makers will find art supplies scattered about, because creativity often blooms when we relax together. The lounge stays open until the night’s last heartbeat drifts to sleep.

Tucked close to the centre is our Bookie Nook, a tiny sanctuary lined with pages and peace. It’s a quiet pocket for anyone needing to rest, reflect, or reset with a story. It’s open daily until 7 pm, perfect for a moment of stillness before the evening revelry begins.

We’re inviting new camp members who believe in the power of presence. If you love to greet strangers like friends, help hold emotional space, create little moments of magic, and keep the hugs flowing – this is your home at AfrikaBurn. Bring your energy, creativity, some camp love, and your best hugs. We’ll provide the rest.

Join the Oxytocin Team — come help us make the desert a little softer.

Theme Camp
Enos’ Nookie

Spacemonkey Enos crashed his rocket into the desert and decided to create his cozy safe-space (aka nookie) in the far corners of Tankwa Town. There he welcomes other cosmic travelers ever since. His guests can enjoy audio-visual experiences in a jungle of cosmic grooves in his safe, but wild place. Follow the landing lights towards the burning rocket and let your inner monkey loose at our eclectic jols powered by a wonderful sound system. Our camp where we live and rest is located a few hundred meters away from our stage and is our private safe space where we eat and hang together, refresh ourselves and get our well deserved rest. The camp provides safe shelter, drinking water, collectively prepares a fresh warm meal daily, builds a shower, shares knowledge in event planning, building, stage production, light programming, sound engineering, awareness, vibe creation, burn principles and more.  Get in touch with us!

La Marmelada Orchestra

La Marmelada Orchestra is a spontaneous, collaborative band forming in the dust of Tankwa Town. Musicians from different backgrounds come together to create live sessions that exist only once — improvised, playful, and alive. Strings, horns, percussion, synths, voices, strange instruments, familiar ones — everything can find its place. The orchestra emerges during the week through open rehearsals, jams, and experiments at La Casa Timeless, eventually leading to collective performances where individual voices blend into one living sound. No fixed repertoire.No strict genre.Just musicians listening to each other and building something real in the moment. If you like the idea of making music with people you’ve never met before — in the middle of the desert — this might be for you.
