Most motor coaches have seating capacity for between 48 and 52 people, however a smaller bus may be used for groups with fewer travelers. Transportation for our Kenya Wildlife Safari will be in a seven-person safari vehicle.

Can I request seat assignments for the motor coach?
In order to ensure that all travelers have the opportunity to fully enjoy the scenery during bus transfers, we ask that our customers rotate seats daily. Seats will not be assigned.

Do your motor coaches feature air-conditioning and restrooms?
Most motor coaches have both air conditioning and restrooms, depending on the destination and size of your group. Please note that in on tours to Russia, Scandinavia, the UK, Ireland, China, Morocco, Kenya, and Egypt, restrooms on the motor coach are rarely provided.
