There are a couple of coffee shops that you can hang out in till you are ready to go to Wilson airport (Paul Coffee Shop next to T1A - opp. T1E). Assuming you are on Safarilink at 8.00 am, they have a very good coffee shop that serves Spring Valley coffee. I'd leave JKIA at 6.00 am, and you'll be at Wilson by 6.30 am.
Thank you ! After considering how tired I would feel after a long flight I decided to pay more for a flight that arrives the prior day at 6pm and a hotel. Otherwise I may waste the first day of my safari napping! I'll be sure to stop by Paul's Coffee Shop.
