A SkyTeam and DragonPass lounge airside on the ground level of Terminal 1D.
Msafiri Lounge is an independent contract lounge airside in Terminal 1D at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, on the ground level once you've cleared passport control and security. It accepts SkyTeam status and DragonPass access, which makes it a convenient option for Kenya Airways and other SkyTeam passengers as well as DragonPass members departing from the 1D concourse — the same building as Plaza Premium Lounge Nairobi. The lounge offers a contemporary, comfortable setting with a mix of seating zones, complimentary snacks and drinks, and free Wi-Fi.
Crowding · busy at peak
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.
