The real Simba Lounge (open from 5 to midnight), similar to the Pride Lounge is located upstairs after the Sheri Palm Spa (close to the food court) in T1A.
There are actually two KQ Simba Lounges @NBO. The much nicer one is located on the 1st floor with an elevator next to the duty free area, although that lounge is only for KQ and Skyteam ELP passengers. It's usually pretty quiet there and the tarmac views are also nice.
Just to add to what Ttraveller said, the other quieter, nicer Simba is also accessible for Etihad passengers. (At least it was today when I went there as one).
OMG if only you could have reviewed the Government lounge - free flowing Krug and ample caviar I bet. Lol
I'm currently in the Simba lounge and the only word I can think of is "travesty". Every single piece of furniture is occupied; there are about a dozen of us (including myself) standing up. Others have no choice but to sit on the floor.
I did make myself a drink, however there is nothing to accompany a beverage. No nuts, no pretzels, no crisps, no crackers.... nothing. The only reason I'm staying is that I can only assume I'm better off here than in the chaos of NBO.
