Bonfire Adventures co-founders Sarah Mtalii and Simon Kabu have once again captured public attention—this time after being seen vacationing together in Tanzania. A video of the two dancing and laughing aboard a yacht in Dar es Salaam surfaced on June 30, 2025, sparking rumors of a possible romantic reunion.
The two, once Kenya’s power couple in the travel industry, had previously confirmed their separation, with Sarah dropping Simon’s surname and rebranding herself as “Mtalii,” a Swahili term for tourist. The sudden reappearance of the duo enjoying leisure time together has left Kenyans questioning: are they rekindling their relationship, or is this just another business trip cloaked in nostalgia?
SPOTTED: YACHT VIBES AND VIRAL DANCES
In the viral footage, Simon Kabu is seen grooving to the popular “Wa Wa Wa in the World” dance trend while Sarah watches from the deck. Another video shows the two dancing side-by-side, setting social media abuzz with mixed reactions—some fans hopeful for a romantic reunion, others skeptical, calling it a calculated PR move.
Bonfire Adventures later confirmed via an X (formerly Twitter) post that the duo was attending the 2025 World Travel Awards, where the company was named Kenya’s Leading Tours and Travel Agency. The trip, according to the company, was part of a celebratory business retreat with their top performers.
A LOOK BACK: SEPARATION, COURT BATTLES & REBRANDING
Earlier this year, Sarah publicly declared she was no longer using the Kabu surname, confirming their separation and hinting at emotional detachment dating back to 2022. She opened up about living a “double life” in a candid interview, saying she had mentally exited the marriage long before announcing it publicly.
Their breakup was far from private. In June 2025, Simon won a defamation case against Sarah, with the court placing restrictions on her public statements. Their legal troubles were compounded by a February lawsuit filed by a former nanny who accused them of unfair dismissal and emotional distress.
Despite all this, their ability to appear united at industry events has left many confused about the true nature of their relationship.
🏆 BONFIRE ADVENTURES STILL SHINING
Amid their personal challenges, Bonfire Adventures continues to soar. The company’s latest win at the World Travel Awards solidifies its reputation as a leader in the East African tourism space.
Their joint appearance in Tanzania—possibly part of a strategy to protect the brand image—may be a calculated move to maintain investor confidence and public goodwill, especially as they both remain key figures in the company’s operations.
MIXED PUBLIC REACTIONS
The internet was quick to react. While some celebrated the pair’s apparent reconciliation, others questioned their motives:
- “We love to see healing and forgiveness,” one fan posted.
- “This is all optics. Don’t fall for the PR stunt,” another user commented.
REUNION OR STRICTLY BUSINESS?
While no official statement has been issued by either Simon or Sarah regarding the nature of their recent rendezvous, all signs suggest this was more about Bonfire Adventures’ success than a romantic revival. Still, the chemistry in the clips leaves room for speculation.
