Kora National Park

Kora National Park extends across 1,788 square kilometers of dense dry bushland and grasslands, bordered by the Tana River and Mount Kenya to the east.

The area transformed from a game reserve in 1973 to a national park in 1989, following the death of conservationist George Adamson at the hands of poachers.

Local communities from Asako village, Boka, and Kamaguru maintain traditional practices of subsistence agriculture while participating in tourism initiatives within the park boundaries.

The park requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle for access, with entry fees ranging from 150 Kenyan Shillings for citizens to 3,000 for international visitors.

The park features several inselbergs, granite rock formations that rise dramatically from the landscape, providing habitats for diverse wildlife species.
