Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu has officially turned the page on a major chapter of his life. On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the travel mogul announced that his divorce from Sarah Mtalii has been finalized, ending their long-term union and leaving him “officially and legally single.”
Reflecting on more than 15 years of relentless hard work building his travel empire, Kabu expressed a desire to shift his focus toward personal exploration and relaxation. However, the businessman doesn’t plan on seeing the world in solitude; instead, he is inviting his followers to join him on this new journey.
A Global Invitation
Kabu has launched a new initiative to connect with his audience through travel. By creating dedicated spaces on WhatsApp and a Facebook page titled Travel With Simon Kabu, he is offering fans—including men, women, and families—the chance to explore new destinations alongside him while accessing exclusive deals.
“I now need to relax a bit, travel, and explore the world. But, not alone,” Kabu stated, signaling his intent to turn his personal transition into a community-driven adventure.
Two Sides of a Separation
While Kabu appears focused on the future, his former partner, Sarah Mtalii, recently shared the profound emotional toll the split has taken. In a candid interview on January 17, 2026, she compared the experience of divorce to the pain of death, noting a stark difference in how society treats the two forms of loss.
Sarah highlighted the isolation many women face during a separation, pointing out that while communities often rally around those who are bereaved, divorcees are frequently left to grieve in silence.
Moving Forward
As the dust settles on the end of one of Kenya’s most prominent “power couples,” the two are moving in very different directions. While Sarah speaks to the necessity of support and the gravity of emotional healing, Simon is leaning into his professional expertise, looking to the horizon for his next great adventure.
