Ndugu M’Hali or Kalulu ( – 28 March 1877) was an African slave and adopted child of the explorer and journalist Henry Morton Stanley. Although Kalulu died young, in his short life he visited Europe, America and the Seychelles. He had a book dedicated to him, a model in Madame Tussauds, and was a guest at David Livingstone's funeral.

==Biography== thumb|left|A studio picture of M’Hali and Stanley now in the Smithsonian Institution. Henry Morton Stanley was the adopted name of John Rowlands from North Wales. Stanley became famous for saying, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume." M’Hali was born in Africa and became Henry Morton Stanley's favourite after being given to him at Tabora in Tanzania. M'Hali was freed but was renamed by Stanley. His original name was "Ndugu M’Hali", which meant "My friend's brother". Stanley disliked the name, calling him instead "Kalulu", the Swahili word for rabbit.
