Kora National Park, spanning 1,787 square kilometers, is a hidden gem for travelers seeking adventure and natural beauty in Kenya. Established in 1989 and dedicated to the conservationist George Adamson, the park showcases a stunning variety of landscapes, from semi-arid plains to lush riverine forests along the Tana River. Wildlife enthusiasts can spot elephants, lesser kudu, wild dogs, and the rare maneless lion, while birdwatchers will delight in over 200 bird species. Key attractions include the scenic Adamson's Falls, Grand Falls, and the Kora rapids, which add a rich historical and cultural layer to the park's untamed wilderness.

Kora National Park is the former home of famed wildlife conservationist, George Adamson, or ‘baba ya simba’ (Father of Lions). It was here that the lion Elsa, of Born Free fame, lived. The former reserve had serious problems with poachers in the 1980s and 1990s – George Adamson was murdered by poachers here in 1989. There are plans for creating a lion sanctuary at Kora. Until then, the main appeal is its pristine, untouched wilderness, which can be explored by any self-sufficient adventurer.
