Kora National Park

Kora National Park is a remote and wild park along the Tana River in eastern Kenya, forever associated with George Adamson — the 'Father of Lions' — who lived here for 18 years rehabilitating captive lions to the wild until his murder by poachers in 1989. His grave and the ruins of his Kampi ya Simba (Camp of Lions) remain within the park. Covering 1,787 square kilometres of semi-arid bushland along the Tana River, Kora is one of Kenya's least-visited national parks. The park supports lion, leopard, hippo, and diverse birdlife along the river corridor, while the hinterland hosts lesser kudu, oryx, and gerenuk. Kora's wild, untouched character appeals to adventurous travellers seeking genuine off-grid exploration.
