Last Friday, I flew out from KGL in the evening, and the basic Pearl Lounge was absolutely full to the brim that staff had to open for regular guests the VIP/Government section/room at the back( the only difference with the main room is the efficient A/C).
Not that usually the experience inside is great, but that time it was clearly a nightmare!!!
Most pax (from the same conference ) were either travelling on SN, KL or KQ to Europe or US/America rather than on RwandAir with only one flight to Entebbe scheduled at that time or late after. Anyway this is a good news as they don't look too bad ( for African standards).

Is it true that ADD or ET doesn't offer any arrival lounge?

As I am currently only a RwandAir DreamMiles Silver status holder, the only option now is to wait the future KGL - LGW trip with RwandAir in J, next January.

Not sure I understand this question, can you elaborate? You mean arrivals lounge in ADD when arriving on ET? Or in Kigali on ET? And as which card holder/ticket class?

The lounges in ADD are not that great. Thankfully they are saying there will be new lounges when the new terminal is completed in the (near?) future. I also find it quite annoying that airliners such as TK, LX and LH lets *G holders use their business and/or first class lounges, but in ADD you will not get admission to the business class lounge unless you have a J ticket. Instead you will be directed to the much less desirable Gold lounge. Certainly hope this will change.

Yes.
A such large airport like ADD along with Africa's best airline should at least provide a such facility, especially with their extended long haul network.
What are the differences between Gold lounge and Business class lounge?
I've been only once, ages ago in the former- i think- when BMI used to fly to ADD...
