This major renovation coasted over 963 million Kenyan Shillings (6.7 million USD) and even thought not perfect, it is quite an upgrade and deserves recognition. With this modern but minimalistic look the terminal offers easy check-in, many shopping and dining options in addition to airport lounges such as Aspire, Kenya Airways, Turkish Airlines and Plaza Premium Lounge which we reviewed here. • Nairobi's Brand New Ai...
We highly suggest you visit one of the two Tembo Restaurants inside the restaurant located inside Terminal 1A and 1B. You will not find better food inside the Nairobi Airport.

You are absolutely right the JKIA in nairobi needs to be world class sgr is better I really hope the govt takes note and commissions a world class airport Kenya being a tourist destination. I remember coming from Joburg and Doha and I couldn't help but feel depressed.

[@DaveMani]

Yeah... The priority is to built a state of the art arrival terminal!

[@chrisamoi8663]

​@DaveMani they have planned to build a new airport.

[@mozvidz]

​ @chrisamoi8663 They have been planning to do that for the last 20yrs but every new government elected eats that money, since the VIP's have their section which is okay for them. So no, they will not be doing that any time soon.

[@MaryMwende-mw2gg]

It was a pleasure serving you guys @tembo. I really love your content, looking forward to seeing you again.😊. Always at your service

[@DaveMani]

Thank you so so much Mary! :)

The New Terminal needs some character, and I am sure it will get better. The lady was so happy and energetic. It felt infectious. Love your videos, good luck

[@prenceamanya]

Well let's not judge here. The interior design is Fantastic and the hotel (Accommodation) you guys were in was... well, you know the word😃 but hope they will be maintaining the airport and improve on their building structures/design coz that's where majority dislike about the new airport.

[@DaveMani]

Fair enough! For me it's the arrival terminal... that thing is a disgrace to the country!

[@jambatvee3803]

I felt like you were holding back about the airport but comes with your role. As a Kenyan I can freely says it sucks! Our taxes could have been used better. From the poor arrivals to air conditioning, having to use stairs esp for disabled people, not so clean toilets, walking in the rain when you arrive… argh. Good video though

[@DaveMani]

I do understand your point. Arrival wise, its awful!!! One of the worst arrival terminal I have seen in the world! It literally a disgrace to the country. With that being said, the new terminal is a big upgrade. Is it perfect? NO, the security section is slow and bad and the design of the terminal is to narrow. BUT they finally have more store, lounges and shops and the design is much more modern and doesn't look like its still 1995.

[@WorkoutChallenge.]

I feel sad too why it's like this too much contrast btn departure and arrival !

[@mudriqjardeny708]

I feel like Tanzania got the best Airport in East Africa

[@user-vq4ts1qs2w]

I'll be going through this airport in a few weeks. Not sure which terminal British Airways uses.

[@DaveMani]

Might be that one actually. Anyway, it doesn't matter since they are all connected and the airport is not that big so you can literally walk it all.

[@kr3539]

Maybe I'm in the minority but I actually appreciate the fact that the airport is open air. I obviously haven't spent more than a couple of hours at the airport but it's nice being able to walk around in the open as opposed to sitting inside all the time.

[@DaveMani]

Fair enough

[@faith6007]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DaveMani]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@njoroon8440]

I wonder if the concerned government officials watch your channel. They need to hear this. I 100% concur with you that the temporary (now permanent) arrival shelter is giving a very wrong image of Kenya.

[@maksumzaifudin5859]

Chinese buildings are really interesting and nice, I really like them

[@DaveMani]

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not... 🤣

[@maksumzaifudin5859]

@@DaveMani The building is similar to a Chinese style building model and I saw a lot of Chinese investment in Africa so I thought that this airport was built in collaboration with China.

[@kinyuabonface5042]

Ksh700m?? That is a lot of money. The internationals arrivals is a disappointment it was meant to be temporarily shelter, after massive fire that destroyed the international arrivals some years back and from the look of things it is kinda a permanent terminal.

[@DaveMani]

That terminal needs to be a priority! Its bad for tourism.

[@kanyebfabb3273]

How come yall never fly emirates?

[@DaveMani]

Because Qatar is normally more convenient for us and we have status so we always prioritize them.

[@dreamchaserhighflyer9624]

The terminal is plain and simple terrible! Not designed to accommodate the amount of passengers it currently gets now. Bring back the Greenfield Terminal!! New terminal is needed!

[@DaveMani]

New terminal is for sure needed! My point is that this is a good upgrade but FAR from enough.

We'd love to. It's just that most of the time it's more convenient with Qatar.

[@timlagat5941]

Arrival terminal sucks alot looks like a camping tent in masaai mara. So disgraceful for my country. Security and airport staffs being under staffs is another shameful thing to be considered. It slows our check in to departure and arrivals 😡

[@DaveMani]

Yeah... That terminal needs to be replaced ASAP! It makes me made that this is the first impression people get of Kenya upon arriving for the first time...

[@felixmakinda7689]

@@DaveMani Just an observation that all government projects are currently costing ksh 700 million. For instance, State House is being renovated at Ksh 700m. Mombasa Road is supposed to be fixed at the same cost. I was just shocked to see the figure again. Sorry, my comment lacked context. Thank you for the good job you are doing in showing the good things Kenya can offer.
