wikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Mohamed Iqbal Mauladad (1926-1970), known as Bali, was a Kenyan big game hunter.
He came from a rich family as his father, Chaudry Mauladad, was a successful civil engineer in East Africa. But rather than join the family business like his brother Basheer, he chose to be a professional hunter in Kenya where he was born and spent his life. He joined the well-established business, Safariland, after World War 2 and was successful as a big game hunter, leading rich clients on safari and killing many game animals, especially elephant. British shooting-brakes were converted into safari cars for these shooting parties and he designed a lightweight rifle rack for these which was made in Naroibi for him and most of the other hunters by the gunsmiths Wali Mohamed & Co.
Though he was from an Asian background, he was admitted to the East African Professional Hunter's Association which was normally only open to white hunters. His closest colleague in the hunting business was another Asian, Ikram Hassan, whose business was African Hunting Safaris, and they hunted elephant together in the coastal regions of Keyna.
He was a large, powerful man, weighing 250 pounds and standing over six feet in his prime. He had a distinctive moustache and a warm, extrovert manner which made him popular with clients and the other hunters. He liked joking and jazz, racehorses and rifles, fast cars and food, women and whisky — his favourite was Johnny Walker Black Label. Besides hunting, he was also an enthusiastic cricket player and rally driver. He took part in the Safari Rally four times and placed once.
Hunting first with Safariland, in 1964 he was the first non-white hunter accepted onto Ker & Downey's lists.
A keen photographer as well as a fine marksman and sportsman, many Americans were numbered amongst his clients, but his most celebrated were the King and Queen of Nepal who, on safari with him incognito, were referred to simply as 'Mr. and Mrs. Shah'.
It was the hunting which was most dangerous as he was once mauled by a leopard and finally gored by a buffalo in Kibwezi. The buffalo inflicted injuries which ruptured his liver and, despite treatment and recuperation, the complications subsequently killed him in 1970.
