Twiga Lounge
★4.6(80 reviews)DAR · Terminal 3 · airside
A calm, African-inspired DragonPass lounge on level 2 of Terminal 3.
The Twiga Lounge offers a tranquil retreat from the bustling terminal below, sitting airside on level 2 of Terminal 3 at Dar es Salaam's Julius Nyerere International. Soft, warm lighting illuminates a contemporary African-inspired interior, with natural wood accents and subtle leopard-print motifs. The spacious layout is divided into distinct zones for dining, working and relaxing, and noise levels stay pleasantly low thanks to gentle background music and hushed conversation. It's a sophisticated yet welcoming space that suits both business travellers looking to stay productive and leisure travellers wanting to unwind. Access is on DragonPass; to reach the lounge, take the escalator on the right after passport control and security up to level 2.
