Kora - Where is that? And why am I going there?

Kora: Where to start?

Maybe an introduction to my brother, Jamie (Brother Jim):

Sadly Mugie, his lion was killed by hyeanas in May 2013

So where is Kora? 

Kora National Park lies adjacent to Meru National Park. It is 1,788 square kilometres. The map below gives you an idea of where it is in relation to Nairobi and Nakuru (where my parents live).

George Adamson lived and worked in Kora, rehabilitating lions and protecting the ever diminishing wildlife from poachers before he was killed by Somali shifta (bandits/poachers) in August 1989. This poem commemorates his life:

Before you read anything that I will write, have a look at this website to see some of the fabulous photos that were taken of George Adamson when he was alive.
