Yes — you absolutely can. At Embryo Logistics which is the specialist embryo division of Greenplace Healthcare, we specialise in helping families, clinics, and fertility professionals safely transport embryos, sperm, and eggs to and from Kenya using the most secure, compliant, and reliable methods available.
But while international transport is entirely possible, success depends on working with an established cryo shipping company that understands the complex regulations, logistics, and sensitivity of these precious samples.
Why You Must Work with an Established Transport Company
Shipping embryos, sperm, or eggs is not like shipping a parcel — these are irreplaceable genetic materials that require precision, documentation, and constant supervision.
Our team at Embryo Logistics manages every step for you:
Coordinating directly with both the sending and receiving clinics.
Handling all necessary paperwork, including Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) and import permits.
Maintaining continuous temperature and chain-of-custody from pickup to delivery.
Working with an inexperienced or unregulated courier can lead to devastating results — including customs delays, temperature loss, or even sample destruction.
Permits and Regulatory Support
To import reproductive materials into Kenya, an import permit is required. Our team works closely with your clinic and local authorities to acquire this permit on your behalf, ensuring a seamless and legally compliant transfer process.
We also handle any supporting documentation, including:
Export paperwork from the sending country
Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs)
Customs declarations for biological material
Clinic-to-clinic verification and ethical compliance
With us, you never have to worry about missing paperwork or customs confusion — everything is handled from start to finish.
Hand-Carry vs. Medical Cargo: Why the Method Matters
There are two main ways to transport reproductive samples internationally — hand-carry (on-board courier) and medical cargo.The difference between them is enormous.
Medical Cargo: High Risk and Frequent Failures
While medical cargo might seem cheaper, it often leads to heartbreaking outcomes. Many patients have had their embryos stuck in customs for days or even weeks due to incomplete paperwork or airline restrictions.
Once a cryogenic tank is held in customs, there’s no way to refill or monitor it — and the tank’s liquid nitrogen levels only last a limited time. By the time it’s released, the embryos or eggs can be compromised or destroyed.
Hand-Carry Transport: The Safest Option
With our hand-carry method, a trained Embryo Logistics courier personally escorts your samples from clinic to clinic, maintaining full control through airport security, flights, and customs.
No risk of loss or mishandling
No unnecessary stops or temperature fluctuations
No customs limbo
Every sample is personally delivered into the hands of the receiving embryologist — never left unattended.
Security Seals and Constant Supervision
Your sample’s safety is our highest priority. Every cryogenic tank we ship is:
Sealed with a tamper-evident security tag before leaving the clinic.
Supervised constantly by our courier from pickup to delivery.
Accompanied by complete documentation for airline and customs officials.
When your samples arrive, the receiving clinic verifies the seal is intact — confirming no one has opened the tank since departure.
Temperature Monitoring: Continuous Protection
Each shipment includes a temperature data logger that continuously records internal tank conditions throughout the journey.You’ll receive a detailed temperature report showing your samples remained within the correct cryogenic range the entire time.
This is one of the key reasons why Embryo Logistics is trusted by clinics and fertility professionals across the UK, Europe, and Africa.
Insurance for Peace of Mind
We understand that what we’re transporting is irreplaceable. That’s why we provide comprehensive insurance coverage for your shipment — up to $20,000 USD, depending on your selected plan.
Our pricing tiers are flexible, ensuring that every client — from individuals to clinics — can find the protection and service level that fits their needs.

Kenya: A Growing Destination for IVF and Surrogacy
Kenya is rapidly becoming one of Africa’s most dynamic fertility destinations. Many families are now shipping embryos, eggs, and sperm to Kenya for IVF or for surrogacy arrangements with licensed Kenyan partners.
Fertility clinics in Nairobi and Mombasa are now internationally recognised for their expertise, affordability, and success rates — making Kenya a preferred destination for African, European, and diaspora patients.
Greenplace Healthcare: DNA Testing and Support for Surrogacy Families
Our partner company, Greenplace Healthcare, provides DNA testing and diagnostic services required after surrogacy.Many parents working with Kenyan surrogates must obtain a DNA test report to register their child’s citizenship in the UK, Europe, or the U.S.
Greenplace Healthcare handles this entire process — offering accredited testing, documentation, and fast results so your family can move forward with peace of mind.
