Simon Kabu recently found himself beaming with joy after receiving a grand and thoughtful Father’s Day surprise from his daughter, Maurine Kabu. The entrepreneur was treated to an all-expenses-paid getaway to Zanzibar, a destination that perfectly matched their mutual love for travel and adventure.
Leading up to the reveal, Simon had kept fans on edge by sharing cryptic photos from JKIA’s departure terminal. Social media was abuzz with guesses about where he was headed, with many followers eager to find out what surprise Maurine had in store. When the secret was finally out, Simon shared an energetic video showing him enjoying the crystal-clear waters of Zanzibar, swimming with turtles and engaging in other exciting activities.
The trip was Maurine’s way of celebrating her father in a truly memorable way. This year’s Father’s Day, which fell on Sunday, June 15, saw numerous public tributes, but Maurine’s gesture stood out. She didn’t just post a sweet message—she flew her father to one of East Africa’s most beautiful beach destinations. Their journey included bonding moments on the beach, horse riding through the waves, and plenty of picturesque snapshots that spoke volumes about their close relationship.
Simon, clearly moved by the surprise, expressed gratitude and reflected on the importance of taking breaks. “Zanzibar is lit. Every day is a learning session. After working very hard, it’s time to relax and rejuvenate,” he shared in his post, encouraging others to take time off and indulge in well-deserved rest.
Maurine, who is at the helm of her own travel company, Adequate Safaris, couldn’t hide her pride in successfully pulling off the surprise. In her own update, she wrote, “Finally I did it, another surprise for my dad. Happy Father’s Day!”
Online, the post sparked a mix of admiration and humor. Many users were touched by the warm father-daughter bond, while others cheekily suggested it was time for Maurine to start letting go so she could explore relationships beyond her close connection with her dad. Some even joked that potential suitors might be intimidated by how tight-knit the two appeared.
Aside from the vacation, Simon has also shown solid support for his daughter’s entrepreneurial journey. In another proud fatherly gesture, he recently gifted Maurine three new Land Cruiser tour vehicles to help scale up her company’s operations. The gesture was both symbolic and practical, as it signaled his confidence in her ability to carry the family’s tourism legacy forward while offering her mentorship and resources.
This show of support for his daughter’s growth, paired with the public display of affection and gratitude through the Zanzibar trip, painted a heartwarming picture of modern fatherhood—one that blends business wisdom, emotional support, and shared adventures. The whole episode became a trending feel-good story, with many followers commending both father and daughter for redefining family moments with class and deep affection.
