Is Maurine Kabu Dating Simon Kabu?
Maurine Kabu, CEO of Adequate Safaris, has responded to controversial claims linking her romantically with Simon Kabu, the co-founder of Bonfire Adventures and her alleged father. These allegations came to light through a court case filed by Simon’s ex-wife, Sarah Njoki, who claimed Simon only introduced Maurine as his daughter after their 15-year marriage ended.
According to Sarah, Maurine now lives in her former matrimonial home and has access to properties previously co-owned with Simon. In court documents seen by TUKO News, Sarah stated that she only discovered the connection between Simon and Maurine after the collapse of their marriage, accusing Simon of hiding the truth throughout their relationship.
What Did Maurine Say Online?
Maurine, who had largely remained silent amid the growing speculation, finally addressed the matter indirectly. In a social media post, she shared a photo of herself working alongside Simon and captioned it:
“My dad has been my biggest mentor, the one who shaped who I am. What’s that one unforgettable thing your dad did for you?”
She also posted scenic vacation clips featuring the two in Zanzibar, riding horses through ocean waters, and posing during what appeared to be a calm, intimate getaway. The two were later seen at a night event, which she described as a “father-daughter date,” leaving followers to interpret the message on their own terms.
