The method of Weyl orbit reduction for obtaining branching rules is extended to affine Kac-Moody algebras. The orbits of affine rank 2 and 3 algebras are obtained analytically and the fundamental orbits are decomposed into irreducible representations (I.R.). Numerical inversion of a triangular matrix then gives the orbit multiplicities in an I.R. Orbit to orbit branching rules are deduced for selected subalgebras and used to produce I.R. to I.R. branching rules.
