Businessman Simon Kabu was at the center of social media discussion following a viral video from Bonfire Adventures’ 18th anniversary and end of year party. The celebration, held on December 11, 2025, had a safari theme and was attended by company staff, executives, and notable personalities in Kenya’s tourism and business circles.
During the event, Simon Kabu was captured in a video walking alongside a young woman. The clip quickly spread online, with some viewers mistakenly interpreting the woman as his romantic partner. Simon later clarified that the woman is his niece and a staff member at Bonfire Adventures, and the footage was part of content creation during the party. He emphasized that the appearance was entirely professional and familial, highlighting his niece’s achievements as a tour consultant within the company.
The event marked a significant milestone for Bonfire Adventures, a company co founded by Simon and former partner Sarah Mtalii. Despite their personal separation, both continue to collaborate on the business, which has become a recognized name in Kenya’s tourism industry. The anniversary and end-of-year celebration was a testament to the company’s growth and influence, attracting media coverage and social media attention.
Simon also addressed questions about his personal life, confirming that he is not publicly in a relationship and prefers to maintain privacy regarding romantic matters. His comments underscored a desire to keep family, work, and private life separate amid public scrutiny.
Public reactions to the video were mixed, with some applauding Simon for clarifying the situation and others speculating further. The incident highlights the challenges public figures face in balancing personal life and professional presence, especially during highly publicized events.
The party itself successfully celebrated Bonfire Adventures’ achievements over the past 18 years, bringing together employees, partners, and guests in a festive safari themed environment. Simon Kabu’s handling of the viral video reinforced a message of professionalism and family acknowledgment while maintaining discretion over personal matters.
