About Kora National Park

Former home of George and Joy Adamson — Kampi ya Simba — Kora National Park offers an authentic wildlife safari experience set within a pristine wilderness of towering inselbergs and dramatic riverine landscapes. The park is graced by the Tana River, where Adamson’s Falls, Grand Falls, and the Kora Rapids add both scenic beauty and historical significance tied to Kenya’s conservation heritage.
Rich in cultural and heritage value, Kora preserves the legacy of the Adamsons’ pioneering wildlife conservation efforts, inviting visitors to connect with a significant chapter of Kenya’s conservation story. Seasonal rivers crisscross the park, while the Tana River forms its northern boundary with Meru National Park, creating expansive wildlife corridors that enhance movement, exploration, and safari experiences.
