Makuwa Lounge
★3.7(6 reviews)VFA · Main Terminal · airside
The late-flight lounge at VFA — open until the final departure, on DragonPass or Priority Pass.
Makuwa Lounge is the late-flight option at Victoria Falls International, the one lounge here that stays open until the final departure of the day rather than closing at 18:00 like Pearl and Khami. It's signposted as a business lounge and sits airside on level 2 — go up the escalator, turn left, and follow the 'Business Lounges' signs down a corridor on your right. An independent lounge in the DragonPass and Priority Pass networks, it sells day-pass entry and accepts digital lounge cards. The offering combines hot and cold food, fruit and snacks with complimentary house wine, beer and spirits and soft drinks, and it's well equipped for getting things done with printing, Wi-Fi, a charging station, flight monitors and a television. Air conditioning and step-free access round it out. The one trade-off is a shorter maximum stay of around two hours, so it's geared to a focused stop before boarding rather than a long wait. Makuwa opens at 08:00 and runs through to the final flight daily.
Crowding · comfortable
The most work-ready of the three VFA lounges, with Wi-Fi, a charging station, printing and flight monitors in a business-styled setting. Some work-friendly seating is available, and it's quiet enough for email and light work, especially for evening departures.

Makuwa offers the most rounded mix of food and drink for a late departure: hot and cold food, fruit and snacks alongside complimentary house wine, beer and spirits and soft drinks. Because it stays open until the final flight, it's the lounge to rely on for an evening bite when Pearl and Khami have closed. The spread suits a light meal or a top-up before boarding rather than fine dining.
