Our Journey to Bitcoin Tourism
Growing up in Uganda, we witnessed firsthand the challenges of international payments and financial exclusion. When we discovered Bitcoin and became friends in 2021, we saw more than a currency—we saw a bridge connecting East Africa to the world.
“Why should tourists pay 5-10% in international fees when Bitcoin offers a borderless alternative?” This question sparked Gorilla Sats.
Today, we're proving that Bitcoin isn't just for tech enthusiasts—it's a practical tool that makes travel easier, cheaper, and more direct. Every satoshi spent here supports local guides, communities, and conservation.
