With 6 hours, I also recommend visiting the Giraffe Centre which is about a 20-30 drive from NBO.

Agree with 764toHI! Spend as much time as is possible in the lounge before Final Call. I've used the aspire lounge which is pretty small and gets crowded quickly. TK lounge looks much nicer. Only restaurant worth going to is Java House which is also small and often crowded.

BTW, is there a good restaurant in the airport land-side? because I suspect the LX check-in counter won't open until 3 hours before flight time and so I need to kill 3 hours (out of my 6 hours) in the airport land-side.

Judging from the web images, TK lounge certainly looks quite enticing....definitely better than the Aspire or so-called "First class lounge".

We have something similar coming up and we are going to have dinner at the Aero Club at Wilson before we heard to NBO. Just book your transfer to NBO for a bit later. I hear the Aero Club is good and a good place to hang out for awhile.
