Tourism in Kenya dates back to the colonial era. Tourists have invented a map of Kenya that comprises mainly the Rift Valley and the Indian Ocean coast; and they divide the population into ‘noble’ pastoralists and less noble agriculturalists and urban dwellers. Tourists came originally to see and kill wild animals; most were members of ‘big game safaris’ organised by ‘White Hunters’, reportedly often the sexual targets of women tourists. Shooting is now prohibited, but tourists shoot with cameras: they now come to see both animals and ‘exotic’ Africans. Sexual relations with local inhabitants are often part of ‘capturing’ them.Tourists resemble pilgrims, in search of the sacred and the purity of the exotic and wild; many also see themselves as successors to the formerly dominant settlers of colonial Kenya. Local inhabitants compete with the tourists by dominating them and by forming new social categories of entrepreneurs in the modern Kenyan economy.Keywords: colonialismhuntingphotographysexualityethnicitysacrednesspilgrimage
