The Priority Pass option at DAR — a quiet, leather-armchair lounge in Terminal 3.

About this lounge

The Twiga Business Lounge offers a tranquil escape from the bustling Julius Nyerere International Airport, sitting in Terminal 3 and accessed on Priority Pass. Soft, warm lighting paired with contemporary African-inspired decor creates a welcoming atmosphere, while plush leather armchairs and spacious seating areas are arranged to give privacy and comfort. The lounge keeps a quiet ambiance that's well suited to either relaxation or focused work, and large windows let natural light filter in during daytime hours, with subtle background music adding to the calm. The overall feel is sophisticated yet approachable, catering to both business and leisure travellers looking for a restful spot before their flight.
