Blueberry Lounge: The ultimate dining experience at RGM International Airport.

Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, formerly known as Harare International Airport, stands as a vital artery for Zimbabwe, serving as the nation’s largest and busiest airport. Situated approximately 15 kilometres south of the capital city, Harare, it acts as a central hub connecting Zimbabwe to various corners of the globe. Major airlines operate regular flights to and from the airport, offering convenient travel options to destinations across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

The airport boasts a runway stretching an impressive 4,725 meters, allowing it to seamlessly accommodate even the largest commercial aircraft. This ensures smooth operations and caters to the growing demands of international air travel.

A recent addition to the airport’s infrastructure is the luxurious Blueberry Lounge, strategically located at Gate 10. This haven for weary travellers serves as a testament to the airport’s commitment to providing a world-class travel experience. The lounge’s inauguration in March 2024, graced by esteemed officials from the Airports Company of Zimbabwe, marked a significant milestone.

This timely addition coincides with the airport’s ongoing renovations and expansions. These efforts aim to bolster the airport’s infrastructure and facilities, further elevating its standing within the international aviation landscape. The Blueberry Lounge perfectly complements this modernization drive, adding a touch of sophistication and comfort for discerning travellers.

Blueberry Lounge, managed by the established Blueberry Group, offers a haven of tranquillity amidst the airport’s hustle and bustle. The group also operates Blueberry Travel Zimbabwe, a prominent travel agency conveniently located at 179 King George Road, Avondale, Harare. Interestingly, a significant portion (nearly 90%) of the lounge’s clientele stems from bookings facilitated by their sister company, highlighting the synergy within the group to create a seamless travel experience.

Stepping into the Blueberry Lounge, guests are greeted with a symphony of luxurious comfort and
cutting-edge amenities. High-speed Wi-Fi ensures effortless connectivity, while a curated selection of entertainment options keeps guests engaged and entertained. The lounge caters to diverse needs, offering a tempting array of premium beverages, delectable culinary delights, and tranquil spaces for those seeking a moment of peace. It’s a space where efficiency gracefully blends with luxury, leaving a lasting impression on every visitor.
