Safari Vehicles

Mini Bus / Coaster Bus

The Toyota Coaster and similar minibus models seat 20–30 passengers in air-conditioned comfort, making them the practical choice for larger groups that want to travel together on multi-day safari circuits. Commonly used for airport transfers, lodge-to-lodge transfers, and full group safaris across Kenya and Tanzania.

Select Coaster configurations are fitted with a pop-up or raised roof for game drives; others serve primarily as comfortable transfer and road vehicles supplemented by open-sided 4×4 game-drive vehicles at each park. Either way, reclining seats, generous legroom, and large panoramic windows make long drives between parks comfortable for all passengers.

A full-width luggage bay beneath the passenger floor stores hard cases, duffel bags, and camera equipment securely. An on-board PA system lets guides share wildlife information and itinerary updates with the whole group while in transit.
