Burba is the merged tribe of Aguila​ and Rana​ from Survivor South Africa: Panama. Their tribe color is yellow.

Burba was marked by a distinct divide between the two starting tribes, with the former Ranas holding a majority that they controlled until the final four. However, a twist allowed two former Aguilas to return to the game, where they successfully provoked the Ranas to turn on themselves. Ultimately, a former Aguila defeated a former Rana to win the season.
