'Meerkats and Unicorns'


The inspiration for the 2025 Namibian Burn theme comes from the whimsical playfull creativity of our Burn Community and our resident 'meerkats' at our Kalahari Burn home.

Here, you will find images of the 'meerkat' and 'unicorn' playing in the desert-mirage of our Playa - all an interconnected cycle of life between the red Kalahari dunes.

Art Applications are Open!
