Kora National Park, National park in Tana River County, Kenya

Kora National Park is a 1,788 km² protected area in Tana River County, Kenya, mostly covered by acacia bushland with riverine forests of doum palm and Tana River poplar. The Tana River marks 65 km of its northern boundary, with Adamson's Falls, Grand Falls and the Kora rapids. The land slopes from 490 m in the south-west to 270 m in the north-east, and rocky inselbergs such as Mansumbi (488 m), Kumbulanwa (450 m) and Kora Rock (442 m) rise above the peneplain.

The area was first designated as a game reserve in 1973 and then raised to national park status in 1989, giving it stronger legal protection. That same year, George Adamson, who had lived and worked here since the late 1970s, was killed in the park, an event that drew international attention to Kora.

Kora is closely tied to the conservationist George Adamson, who lived and worked here for decades rehabilitating lions into the wild. His former camp, Kampi ya Simba, still stands in the park and gives visitors a sense of how he spent his life in this landscape.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle is necessary to move around the park, as the tracks are unpaved and can become very difficult after rain. The dry season is generally the better time to visit, when animals tend to gather near the Tana River and are easier to spot.

George Adamson is buried in the park beside three lions he had released, near the site of his former camp. He lived at Kora from 1970 until poachers murdered him and two assistants in 1989, the year the reserve became a national park. In 2012 the orphaned cub Mugie was brought here, the first lion introduction in 22 years; hyenas attacked it and it did not survive.
