The Pancake People

Participants needed:
Our crew are from all over the world with certain things in common – we LOVE making other burners happy first ! No morning moodiness here lol. We get along with everyone, ie no hang ups and are incredibly emotionally mature to handle a week in the dust, partying and growing and still have endless capacity to create magic with a crew community and for the whole playa. We get our hands dirty, we ask what more can we do to help. We are at the burn to share and create together rather than simply receive. We are not all extroverts but we are all fun loving in our unique ways. We become family for many years after the event. We also love talented crew, so if you can juggle, perform, sing, do handstand pushups while being tickled and you have the biggest heart then reach out and let’s see if we have space for more pancake family for 2026.

Project Description:

The Pancake People has become one of the most loved Theme Camps at Afrikaburn. This is because of the crew’s overwhelming commitment to share love and joy that spreads from our camp like a blanket over the Playa. We do this at a time when most burners are hungover and moody from a night of partying and processing. We dance the night away just like every one else but then we wake up, wipe the sleep from our eyes, clean up, get the batter going, get the Dj going and then open our hearts to welcome in children and adults alike for the best morning experience you will ever have ! Burners walk into our camp grumpy and leave with a heart full of love to share with all the other burners they will meet that day. We have been doing this every morning for over 10 years on the trot and have a huge community of Pancake People lovers who come for their dose of love, joy and cinnamon! 

Details of Gift:

Pancakes, love and laughter till your heart is full ! From 9 till 11am to the sounds of electroswing with many many events held in our space throughout the day as it is a gifting space for all to use. Last year alone we had yoga mornings, Shibari workshop, painting workshop, swing dance, acoustic sessions, Taylor swift – swiftees takeover party, kids party, Sunset party, massages, poetry, dance to name just a few. Our space is yours to use to offer your gift.

Joining Requirements:

You need to be there for either building up or taking down the camp or both if you are a rockstar legend. Emotional maturity is a pre requisite as the burn can ask alot from you, yet you still need to show up for others. Able to get along with people from all walks of life and work and play well with others. A great sense of humour or desire for more fun. If you are creative that is super cool too ;) Don’t worry even though we love giving we also have plenty of time to receive as you are on shift for 2 mornings in the week.

Additional Details:

If reading all this has made you excited beyond control drop a mail to Nas – The Pancake Man and let’s see if the stars are aligned or a FB message on Afrikaburn community The Pancake People. We can’t wait to see you in the dust!

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!

Stage
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.
