10 Of The Best Photos From AfrikaBurn

As AfrikaBurn 2015 begins, we’d like to offer these incredible photos from last year’s event, for those who are not able to make it. They come courtesy of photographer Sarah Duff, who has attended several times in the last few years.

AfrikaBurn, which is South Africa’s version of Burning Man, takes place amid the stark desert scenery of the Karoo. That, and the wild getups of the revelers, certainly makes for some dramatic and amusing pictures.
