Where we'd actually go.
Pearl Lounge
Pearl Lounge sits airside on level 2 opposite Gate 6 and is the pick of the three at VFA, with a contemporary feel, runway views and a full spread of food and drink. It takes DragonPass and Priority Pass, sells day-pass entry, and works for most travellers leaving Victoria Falls.
Khami Lounge
Khami Lounge is the strongest option if you want a proper drink before flying — complimentary house wine, beer and spirits alongside soft drinks and snacks, plus a television and a dedicated smoking area. Airside on level 2, on DragonPass, Priority Pass or a day pass.
Makuwa Lounge
Makuwa Lounge keeps the latest hours at VFA, staying open until the final flight of the day rather than closing at 18:00 like Pearl and Khami. Signposted as a business lounge, it carries hot and cold food, complimentary drinks and printing, on DragonPass, Priority Pass or a day pass.

Victoria Falls International Airport lounges by terminal.
Main Terminal
Victoria Falls International runs from a single passenger terminal, and all three lounges — Pearl, Khami and Makuwa — sit airside on level 2, reached after passport control and security. They're independent contract lounges in the DragonPass and Priority Pass networks, clustered close together in the departures area, so you don't have to choose a terminal — just clear the checkpoint and head upstairs.

How to get into lounges at VFA.
Victoria Falls is a DragonPass and Priority Pass airport — both memberships are accepted at all three lounges, so the lounge you choose comes down to hours, food and atmosphere rather than which card you hold. Each lounge also sells day-pass entry, so you can pay per visit without any membership. There's no airline or alliance lounge here; the three independent contract lounges cover the whole terminal.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at all three Victoria Falls lounges — Pearl, Khami and Makuwa — all airside on level 2. With every lounge on the network, DragonPass opens the entire field at VFA.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass works at all three VFA lounges as well, so a Priority Pass membership covers the whole airport. Present your card with your boarding pass at reception, subject to capacity.
Priority PassWalk-in day pass
Each of the three lounges sells entry on a pay-in basis, so you can buy a day pass at the door without DragonPass, Priority Pass or airline status. A handy route if you don't hold a lounge membership.
Digital lounge cards
Khami and Makuwa note that digital lounge cards are accepted, so a membership stored in your DragonPass or Priority Pass app can be presented from your phone at reception alongside your boarding pass.

One terminal, three lounges
- —VFA has a single terminal, so there's no terminal to match — all three lounges are airside on level 2 after passport control and security.
- —Pearl is opposite Gate 6; Khami and Makuwa are reached by turning left at the top of the escalator, with Makuwa down the 'Business Lounges' corridor.
- —The lounges sit close together, so it's easy to check which has space if your first choice is busy.
Mind the hours
- —Pearl and Khami run 07:00 to 18:00, while Makuwa stays open until the final flight of the day — worth knowing if you're on a late departure.
- —VFA's schedule is built around daytime regional and long-haul flights, so the lounges are busiest around the main departure banks.
- —Each lounge caps your stay — around two to three hours — so time your arrival to your boarding rather than settling in for a long wait.
Access is simple here
- —Every lounge takes both DragonPass and Priority Pass, so whichever of the two you carry, you can use any of the three.
- —No airline status is needed — there's no airline or alliance lounge at VFA, just the three independent contract lounges.
- —If you don't have a membership, you can buy a day pass at the door at any of the three.
Make the most of your visit
- —Pearl Lounge has runway views — a pleasant spot to watch aircraft while you wait for a safari or city connection.
- —Khami and Makuwa offer complimentary house wine, beer and spirits, so they're the better pick if you want a drink before flying.
- —All three have Wi-Fi, charging and air conditioning, making any of them a comfortable escape from the terminal after a day at the Falls.
