The Star Alliance lounge in DAR's Terminal 2 — quiet, with a TV area and prayer room.

About this lounge

The Twigga Lounge offers a tranquil retreat from the bustling Julius Nyerere International Airport, located on the ground floor of Terminal 2 — the older of the airport's terminals. The decor is modern yet warm, with soft lighting and comfortable seating arrangements that encourage relaxation, and the lounge keeps a quiet atmosphere that's good for unwinding or catching up on work. A low-key TV area provides a relaxed entertainment option, while a prayer room adds a thoughtful touch for spiritual travellers. Noise levels are generally low and crowding stays minimal even during peak hours, ensuring a peaceful experience. Access is for Star Alliance passengers, so it's the natural choice if you're flying a Star Alliance carrier out of Terminal 2.
