SCENIC IMAGERY · AN INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY

HUZEFA HAMID
AKA. AMERICAN SHIKARI
BORN TO
BE OUTSIDE
✳

MOMBASA → USA → THE OPEN WORLD

A Kenyan beginning.
An American journey.
A wild heart.

I’m Huzefa Hamid. Most people out here know me as American Shikari.

I was born in Mombasa, Kenya, and moved to the United States at a young age. That journey opened up a world where I could pursue the things I loved most: hunting, fishing, and being outdoors.

That passion kept growing. Today, I find my freedom in a paratrike above the coastline, beneath the water with scuba gear, on a ski slope, or out in the mountains and desert. Put me outside, and I’m in my element.

But adventure means more when it has purpose. I want to share what I love, teach respect for halal hunting, and encourage care for the land and wildlife that make these experiences possible.

Huzefa Hamid American Shikari

Rooted in faith.
Ready for the world.

I studied at Al Jamea tus Saifiyah, an institute that shaped me and made me who I am. It gave me a foundation I carry into every part of my life.

It taught me to balance faith with worldly affairs — to face challenges with resilience, pursue my passions with purpose, and stay grounded in my values wherever life takes me.

My faith travels with me. Into the wild, into the sky, and into everyday life.

The world is too big
for one passion.

Different terrain. Same restless spirit.
Pick an element and come along.

THE SKY / PARATRIKE FLYING

Freedom has
no ceiling.

Paratrike flying brings together everything I love: open air, a new perspective, and the thrill of seeing the world from above. This is the spirit behind Flying Shikari.

Take the experience.
Respect the wild.

For me, faith, adventure, and care for nature belong together. The outdoors gives us a great deal. How we behave in it matters.

Life doesn’t wait.
Why should we?

There is always another place to discover, another skill to learn, another reason to get outside.
