A SkyTeam and DragonPass lounge airside on Level 2 near Gate 17 of Terminal 1A.
Pride Lounge is an independent contract lounge airside in Terminal 1A at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. After clearing passport control and security, you pass Duty Free, turn left towards Gate 17 and take the stairs or elevator up to Level 2. It accepts SkyTeam status and DragonPass access, which suits Kenya Airways and other SkyTeam passengers as well as DragonPass members. The lounge offers a contemporary, comfortable setting with a mix of seating zones, complimentary snacks and drinks, and free Wi-Fi — a quieter place to wait than the Terminal 1A concourse before a long-haul departure.

A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and laptop-friendly seating. Fine for email and light work, though it's not a dedicated business lounge.

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.
