He was born into a rich and influential family of Kenyan Asians but, rather than joining the family engineering business, he became a professional guide, leading parties on safari to hunt large animals, especially elephant. He was the first Muslim to be recognised as a white hunter and won the Shaw & Hunter trophy for best professional guide in 1966. He also competed in the Safari Rally, placing fourth in 1961. He died in 1970, following severe goring by a Cape buffalo. Early lifeHe came from a rich family as his father, Chaudry Mauladad, was a successful civil engineer in East Africa.[3] He attended the Government Indian School in Nairobi and his father then taught him construction and contracting.[2] But, from the age of ten, he had learned to shoot a rifle and so, 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.[3][2][3] CareerHe joined the well-established business, Safariland, after World War Two and was successful as a big game hunter, leading rich clients on safari and killing many game animals, especially elephant.[3][9]{{rp|179}} The hunters he guided included the King and Queen of Nepal and the Governor of Colorado, Teller Ammons.[4] 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.[9]{{rp|175}} Though he was from a Kenyan Asian background, he was admitted to the East African Professional Hunter's Association which was normally only open to white hunters.[5][6] He was the first Muslim to be recognised in this way.[2] 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 Kenya.[7] He was a large, powerful man, weighing 250 pounds and standing over six feet in his prime.[3] He had a distinctive moustache and a warm, extrovert manner which made him popular with clients and the other hunters.[8] He liked joking and jazz, racehorses and rifles, fast cars and food, women and whisky – his favourite was Johnny Walker Black Label.[7]{{rp|235}} Besides hunting, he was also an enthusiastic cricket player and rally driver.[5] He took part in the Safari Rally four times.[5] In 1961, he and Californian doctor, Lee Talbot, placed fourth, driving a Humber Super Snipe over 3,000 miles.[9][10] He also took part in the 1956 production of the movie Bhowani Junction on location in Lahore.[11] He was awarded the prestigious Shaw & Hunter prize for leading a client, Donald Harris, to the finest trophy of the year on October 4, 1966.[2][12][13] This was an Oribi antelope whose horns measured 7 inches, beating the previous world record of 6¼ inches.[2][12] The small size of the antelope was incongruous because Bali was himself known for his prowess in hunting elephants with enormous ivory tusks of up to 152 pounds.[14][12] Hunting was dangerous as he was once mauled by a leopard[5] and finally gored by a buffalo in Kibwezi.[7]{{rp|235}} The buffalo inflicted injuries which ruptured his liver and, despite treatment and recuperation, complications subsequently led to his death in 1970.[1] See also
