Mohamed Iqbal Mauladad (1926-1970) known as Bali Mauladad was a big game hunter in Kenya.
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, he chose to be a professional hunter in Kenya where he was born and spent his life. He was successful as a big game hunter, leading rich clients on safari and killing many game animals, especially elephant. He designed custom equipment for hunting which was made for him by gunsmiths in Naroibi. 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.
Besides hunting, he was also an enthusiastic cricket player and rally driver. He took part in the Safari Rally four times and placed once. His hunting was dangerous as he was mauled by a leopard and gored by a buffalo, but it was his whisky drinking which probably killed him as he died from a ruptured liver at the age of 43.
