Terminal 2's most flexible lounge — Priority Pass, DragonPass or walk-up pay-in.

About this lounge

Mara Lounge is an independent contract lounge airside in Terminal 2 at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, after passport control on Level 1, near Gate 6. It's the most flexible lounge on the Terminal 2 side: it accepts Priority Pass and DragonPass members and also welcomes walk-up pay-in customers, so you can get in without a membership or airline status. The lounge offers a comfortable setting with a mix of seating zones, complimentary snacks and drinks, and free Wi-Fi — a calmer place to wait than the Terminal 2 concourse, which mainly handles low-cost and regional departures.

A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and laptop-friendly seating — a real plus given Terminal 2's lighter facilities. Fine for email and light work.

Food & drink

A complimentary self-service spread of light bites and snacks with soft drinks, plus beers, wines and spirits, and coffee and tea through the day. Geared to a pre-flight bite rather than a full meal.
