Why safari here?
Adamson's Bridge joins the two parks, while the Tana remains the defining geographic boundary.
When to go
KWS lists year-round access, but the road network requires four-wheel drive and seasonal rivers can make rain decisive.
Gateway & getting there
This journey crosses Adamson's Bridge from Meru National Park, passes Kora headquarters, and continues to Kambi ya Simba. KWS also lists southern approaches through Mwingi and Tseikuru.
Typical visit
Treat Kora as a remote multi-day undertaking, with confirmed park arrangements and time for slow roads and changing conditions.
