Nyika National Park, Malawi, soon to be open for tourists again

Hi there, just got this from the Malawi Travel Marketing Consortium:

"Malawi's Nyika Plateau, with its iconic landscape made famous by Laurens van der Post in his Venture to the Interior, will soon be open to tourists again. After two years of effective closure to tourists wishing to explore Malawi's oldest and largest National Park, Wilderness Safaris (Malawi) have won the concession to run the tourism operations on the 2500m (8000ft) plateau in northern Malawi.
Chelinda Lodge is to be re-built with a tentative opening scheduled for July 2010 but the Camp (cottages) is expected to re-open later this year. Good news, too, that the horse safaris for which the Nyika was famous are expected to be revived."
