Kenya Airways Msafari Lounge
★3.2(128 reviews)NBO
Kenya Airways' own Terminal 1D lounge for premium and SkyTeam passengers, with pay-in entry.
The Kenya Airways Msafari Lounge is the airline's own lounge in Terminal 1D at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport — Kenya Airways' home hub. It welcomes premium-cabin passengers travelling with Kenya Airways and SkyTeam partner airlines, and also offers walk-up pay-in entry, so travellers without status can buy a visit. The lounge provides a comfortable place to rest and relax before a flight, with food, drinks and free Wi-Fi. As a flag-carrier lounge at the airline's main base, it's a natural choice for Kenya Airways and SkyTeam passengers departing internationally from the 1D concourse.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and laptop-friendly seating. Fine for email and light work before a flight, though it's a flag-carrier lounge rather than a dedicated business centre.
A food offering with hot and cold options alongside a bar serving soft drinks, beers, wines and spirits, plus coffee and tea through the day — enough for a meal before a long-haul Kenya Airways departure rather than just a snack.
