Gjirafa eSIM Review (2026)
A Kosovo-built eSIM that is cheapest where the big stores are weakest: the Balkans.
Summary
Travel eSIM from Gjirafa, the Kosovo tech group behind Gjirafa Mall and the Gjirafa Travel bus booking site; strongest on the Balkans, with one plan covering Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and six neighbours. Priced in euros: Kosovo from 2.99 EUR for 1GB over 7 days, and a 12-country Balkans plan from 2.99 EUR for 1GB up to unlimited data for 7, 15 or 30 days, plus Europe-wide (49 countries) and global plans.
Sherpa Verdict
You are travelling around the Balkans, especially Kosovo, Albania or North Macedonia, or visiting family there. One Balkans plan covers 12 countries including Kosovo, which several Europe-wide plans leave out, and when the data runs out a reduced-speed Life Saver Mode keeps WhatsApp and email working.
