Where Bonfire Adventures was born! The Kabus share throwback photo of old, dusty cybercafe where they started their multi-million company

Many have been told the story of how Bonfire Adventures started with just KSh 20,000 in hand but what many have not seen, is exactly where the couples dream was birthed.

As the world throws it back to the past, Simon and Sarah Kabu decided to inspire fans with a throwback photo of themselves in a dusty, old, crowded cybercafe somewhere back in 2008 when they officially started Bonfire Adventures.

The two at the time, were but young individuals who had a dream and a vision of the future, but could not afford an office so they had to rely on cybers.

Eventually, Kabu managed to share a desk with two other people in a small office at Koinange street, ditching the cybercafes.

That was the 2000s, and today, Bonfire Adventures, roughly 12 years of age, stands as Kenya’s finest and Africa’s leading tour company. Having grown to over 13 local branches, employing more than 200 staff and standing at an annual turnover of well above KSh 1Billion.

The Kabus story

Simon and wife Sarah Kabu, launched the idea of Bonfire Adventures while around a bonfire at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in 2008. According to Simon, it has been a lot of years of hard work, effort, prayers, challenges and most importantly the hand of God.

The Kabus

The inspiring yet disbelieving story of a matatu tout turned into the CEO of a now very well known multi-million tours and travel company within a decade. Just dare to dream!

His post was received with shock and awe from fans. Who could not help but wonder at how gracious and faithful God has been to the couple whose persistent hard work, sweat and patience has inspired many.

Bonfire Adventures´ couple, Simon and Sarah Kabu welcomed their third child late last week, in what turned out to be a surprise for many.

9 months and not even a single hint was sent that the stinking rich couple was expectant. Sarah successfully delivered and probably couple of days on, we were given the privilege to meet the little one.

As seen on his Instagram page, Simon broke the news where he and his junior were having their peace before the other two kids came running all over and pretty loud.

The Bonfire adventures CEO grew cold feet the minute the newborn started getting uncomfortable and quickly handed the little one to his wife, who was pretty worn out and lying on the sofa.

She asked:

Who can remind me of a lullaby?

From her end, Sarah Kabu shared a late night video of herself in the company of her three kids singing a lullaby to baby Amaya.

Bonfire Adventures MD slams Kenyans after shaming her ‘potty’: What have you helped people online with

Founder and managing director of travel company Bonfire Adventures was recently a hot topic at Kilimani Mums Facebook page.

A Kenyan mocked the MD, Sarah Kabu, for her body saying that she should hit the gym to remove her “potty” stomach.

Sarah wasn’t pleased with the comments and took to social media to ask Kenyans to try and post something positive other than mock people.

“You spend your time online gossiping. If you want to gossip about people it’s okay, life is not always serious business so udaku saa ingine ni important. Its therapy. So usiskie vibaya but also try and spread some love, what have you helped people online with? When you attack people with time you became bitter. There is a statement that jealousy is the last stage before you become a full-time witch. There are some people online who are spreading a lot of hatred, maybe they are depressed or going through a hard time ebu jaribu for once to spread love and encouragement and you will also start feeling better,” she said.

Gossip

Sarah went on to attack ladies who do nothing but gossip on the platform hiding in different Facebook accounts.

“Watu a Kilimani lazima walete udaku, its okay we appreciate, sometimes hii udaku huchangamsha watu for us who work so hard. I don’t go to social media until 10 pm when I go to bed so sometimes naonanga hiyo udaku usiku.”

“Ladies hiding in pseudo accounts…why do you imagine am rich? Am struggling like anyone else just dancing in the rain…Why do u want me to be a supermodel? My villageness is my heritage. Why do u think my husband wants a slay queen like u…he can’t even stand ur makeups n dry bodies…wish u know how he comments! He so loves the natural woman with a touch of innocence…nkt! Now u have the secret try ur luck next time u meet him,”Mrs Kabu commented.

Bonfire Adventures denies that it exploited chokora couple to further their business 

Bonfire Adventure has denied that it used viral chokora couple to get millage online.

Couple Sammy Githae aka Blackie and his wife Virginia Njeri are back to the streets again. The two became internet sensations after a local photographer called Muchiri, shared transformation photos of them after a Valentine’s shoot back in 2018.

Several companies jumped on the trend including Bonfire which gave them a fully paid for trip to Diani but in a recent KTN interview, the couple said that they are back on the streets because they can’t make ends meet.

“He only paid our four months rent. After the four months elapsed, things became tough for us. We couldn’t secure a job to pay rent.” said Blackie adding that he usually gets depressed whenever he looks at the photos.

“When I look at the photos, I remember that journey and I fall into depression. The situation becomes worse when my colleagues laugh at me saying even if you go leave and fly anywhere, you will always come back here.” 

Lies

Bonfire’s Bonfire co-founder Sarah Kabu however, denied the report saying that the company helped the couples for six months.

“I don’t like lies by KTN journalist the street couple went for the holiday na photos ziko online… we paid 6 months rent and gave them cash to start a biz. I don’t know what else they want we cant feed them forever! They were also given a job at kericho and they turned down the offer. Githeri man was ever drunk and his voucher is still open. From now henceforth let me not see anyone tagging me in a post to give a holiday to anyone being celebrated online… everyone knows we keep our word. All photos online.” she said.

Intimidated

Simon reveals that he was intimidated by another man who Sarah chose to sit with while heading to Lukenya. He reveals that the guy was speaking in fluent British accent while he could only manage to speak in sheng.

“The guy was conversing in some British accent while I could only manage some makanga sheng. I could see them excitedly discussing and laughing. I over heard him say he’s just clearing his MBA. Sema kiwaru….But God was always on this Boy shaud side. When we arrived Lukenya and started teambuilding I put myself in the same group as Sarah and made sure my competitor was in another group. I started throwing some ‘ newly learned poetic words’ without any compe.”
