We strongly recommend travel insurance at the time of booking.
While the train has no practical weight limit for your luggage – you must be able to lift and carry your own luggage. This includes carrying up a flight of stairs and carrying over open ground. Please note that this is an outback tour and that paved areas are the exception rather than the rule (ie. wheeled bags are not an acceptable alternative to carrying your luggage).
Generally we ask our passengers to limit their luggage to one piece (approx 20Kg) plus a smaller carry-on bag (ie. handbag).
By booking with us, you acknowledge and agree that you are fit to travel independently, unless you have fully informed us of any special requirements at the time of making your booking and we have agreed to provide the special assistance to you.
We require that all our passengers self-assess their fitness to travel -we have an online guide here at http://www.savannahlander.com.au/
If you think that there may be an issue – please contact us. We do have a DDA Compliant railmotor and can suggest changes to your tour that may assist with your specific needs.
The Savannahlander is strictly a non-smoking service for all types of cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes. This includes smoking in the toilet area and within 5 meters of the doorways and eating areas.
All our accommodation providers operate non-smoking rooms and facilities, although there may be provision for smoking in a Designated Outdoor Smoking Area (DOSA). Please make your enquiry direct to the accommodation provider when you arrive as to the location of the DOSA.
If you would like to smoke while travelling with us you may do so when the train stops for morning tea, lunches etc. Please talk to your friendly driver about the timing and where you can go to smoke at the specific stop.
Please note that we take the comfort and safety of our passengers seriously, passengers found smoking on the train may be asked disembark the train and leave the tour. In the event that you are removed from the tour there are no refunds available for the unused portion of your tour package.
We will try to ensure that any special requests or requirements noted at the time of booking can be met by the Savannahlander.
Please advise any dietary requirements including diabetic, coeliac meals; allergies etc. to ensure the necessary arrangements are made before your arrival.
Please note that all meals are catered for by third parties and while all care is taken we cannot be responsible for the meals that are served. Most providers are happy to provide alternative meals for breakfast and dinners, but morning tea and lunch selections may be more limited.
Please also be aware that you are travelling in remote areas with limited medical access and facilities. Your care in this matter should be related to the severity of your allergic response.
If your reaction is manageable and regarded more as an “intolerance” then you should be fine. You may want to consider bringing some appropriate snacks with you in case you cannot find a suitable morning tea or lunch option available to your needs. There is an “Esky” on the train in which you can keep things cool.
If your allergic response is severe (such as anaphylactic shock), then you may need to consider bringing food with you for your meals. Our providers are happy to facilitate your needs in this respect but cannot provide segregated food preparation environments which may carry a risk of cross contamination. An example is that the chopping boards and utensils may have been used previously with other foodstuffs. Please contact us if you intend to do this.
If you do have the potential for severe reactions, please advise us of the nature of your allergic reaction and access to any medications that you may have with you to treat severe reactions (ie. Epi-pen). On boarding the train please inform the drivers of your medical needs and the location of your medication so they may be able to assist in the event that you are not able to.
The tour operates in remote areas which sometimes have limited medical access. If you have any doubt about your medical needs please contact us prior to booking to discuss how we may assist.
The safety of our staff and passengers are always of the highest priority for the Savannahlander. The following new procedures and facilities will be in effect for all travel on the Savannahlander:
Thank you for considering the Savannahlander for your next outback rail adventure. Whilst we aim to provide an amazing outback experience, we hold the safety of our staff and passengers as our primary concern. In light of the ongoing corona virus pandemic we have taken advice and risk assessed our business practices and have come to a considered position on the vaccine status of our passengers.
In 2022 we will require all travellers on our tour packages to be double vaccinated two weeks or more before the date of travel.
We ask for proof of vaccination one month prior to travel and your tour will be cancelled if this is not received two weeks prior to travel. In the case that your travel is cancelled at this stage no refund will be available.
If you have any problems or concerns regarding this policy, please contact our office.
As in previous years, you will be invoiced prior to departure and full payment will be due one month prior to travel.
As with a lot of rail travel, you may be driving to your chosen departure point for your journey with us on the Savannahlander.
The good news is that all of the stations along the route have space available for you to park a car. You should note however that while all care is taken and incidents are very rare that your vehicle is parked at your own risk.
The Cairns central railway station has the provision for FREE parking for travellers on the Savannahlander. It should be noted that Cairns Central has recently moved to “ticket-less parking” which uses cameras to read your vehicle number plates. To access this service you should do the following:
1) Please note your vehicle registration number on your booking form. If you change vehicles between the time of booking and the time of travel you will need to contact our office to update the registration details.
2) On the day please park your car as normal.
3) When you exit the parking facility simply proceed to the exit and the gate will open for you.
Please note- if you do not provide registration details you will need to pay at the pay-station prior to leaving the carpark.
Please note that if you have a large vehicle, motor-home or RV that you may need to make alternate arrangements as not all parking facilities can accommodate larger vehicles. We would advise that you visit the station prior to departure to check or make alternative arrangements.
