Overview
Description courtesy of Kenya Airways:

The interiors of the Simba Lounge celebrate the richness and beauty of unique elements of pan-African culture and heritage in a contemporary setting, using a palette of carefully selected local artworks, materials, artefacts and textiles. The lounge represents a world-class experience carefully planned with appropriate amenities, for example: an exclusive smoking zone, an enclosed VIP sitting area and baby changing units. Just as the village elders sat in a circle and shared a traditional beverage and discussed matters, the lounge’s focal feature is its central circular banquette seating, where guests from different backgrounds can meet and converse.

    Visited between 2200-0100 and lounge was clean, servers frequently circled to clean empty spaces, and interactions with staff were pleasant. Bathrooms were clean, drink selection was very good, but food options were not well stocked. There are good views of the apron overlooking gate 21, and two separate TV rooms.
