Anyone know about how many people the safari "buses" hold? I'm sure its much greater than 15 (the number of our party). Will we be given any difficulty/dirty looks requesting to ride together?
 
There are at least 7 or 8 rows that will hold 4-5 in each row depending upon size of adults/children. Just tell the CM 15 when asked and they will likely either be able t put you all on the next boarding or ask if you want to wait for next truck or split up.
 
15 will be able to fit into one jeep. You just tell the seater person how many and that you would like to be in the same vehicle. They will know how many can fit into the next one so will direct others behind you to fill in those places and then you will be seated in the next one. Really no big deal.

I'd say anywhere from 32 to 42....From these pictures here, some trucks look like they have 8 rows, & some 7...Most likely with a very comfortable 4 in a row, & possibly up to 5, gives a decent amount of people.
Try here:https://www.google.com/search?q=pic...e of Kilimanjaro trucks&imgrc=YyEVdRLSuUjczM:
 
there are 9 rows - we always sit in Row 9 - back is the best. They put 5/6 people max per row (sort of depends on if you have little ones or not)

they won't even blink an eye at 15 people - they'll assign you to 3 rows no problem.

OOppps that's what I meant...9 & 8....rows... Judging from the pics.. Either way as u said...15 people shouldn't be a prob.

As long as you don't mind waiting for the next vehicle to arrive for your group, you should be fine. There should only be four adults in a row - when they try to cram on five, it gets very uncomfortable. I'm small, and so is my adult daughter, but we still got squished when a group of three was seated with us. I don't need someone else's fleshy, sweaty leg and butt pressed up against me while we bounce around the savanna. Two inches of space (at least) should be between people.
 
This is an easy one. When you get to the head of the line, the CM will ask how many in your party. Tell the number, and they will put you all in the same bus.
 
We have done 12 and just asked for the same bus. More often then not they asked us to step aside they finished filling that bus and put us on the next one
