(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - January 31st, 2014 - We take great pleasure in announcing the opening of a new, much awaited lodge in Malawi’s Liwonde National Park. Miyala Camp is set to open in July this year by Robin Pope Safaris. Miyala, meaning "rocks" in the local Chichewa language, has been the most spoken word on site since first breaking soil in October last year, when the team of architects and builders soon realised that one should merely embrace those hard "rocks" in life in order to move forward. Their natural grey hues have been drawn into the interiors, with huge external rock features marking the unique flares that only conceptual designer Neil Rocher could envisage.

Miyala Camp is set in the South of Liwonde National Park nestled into the base of the Chiunguni Hill, with extensive views over the Chikalogwe plain and the meandering Shire River. With only four guest tents and a maximum occupancy of 10, one is sure to enjoy the full exclusivity and personal touch one can expect from Robin Pope Safaris.

Each modern safari tent will comprise of a large open plan bedroom, lounge and bathroom, with its own private viewing deck and boasting evening breeze air conditioning (state of the art and environment friendly cooling system for the bed within the mosquito net), freestanding baths and outdoor showers.

Compared to many African destinations, Malawi’s parks have very few lodges within each reserve, which makes for a very private, not over crowded, experience. Miyala Camp will only be the second concession in the entire 220 square mile park, which currently is only home to Mvvu Lodge & Camp.

Liwonde is by far Malawi’s most established reserve when it comes to wildlife, with a mass of mammals including most of the Big Five, a huge variety of bird life, and a protection scheme that ensures the welfare and sustainability of the animals. A new lodge in such a beautiful and stunning part of the world will no doubt raise eyebrows as keen tourists start to hear about this fantastic and special place.

Robin Pope Safaris have already established successful lodges in the Majete Wildlife Reserve (Mkulumadzi) and in the Lake Malawi National Park (Pumulani). The addition of a third will allow them to further expand the tours available and add a new element to their clients stay.
