Motsumi Darts at the Thaba Tholo 2025 Annual Auction

We were proud to recently attend the Thabo Tholo Annual Auction, a highlight on the wildlife calendar.

The event brought together breeders, conservationists, and wildlife professionals — all united by a shared commitment to sustainable management and the future of African wildlife.

It’s always inspiring to connect with the community that makes such a difference on the ground, and we are grateful to play a role in supporting the tools and technologies that help keep wildlife management safe, effective, and innovative.

World Rhino Day
Protecting rhinos begins with dedicated individuals — veterinarians, rangers, and conservationists who work tirelessly in the field. Every safe immobilisation, every treatment, and every relocation is a step towards securing the future of this iconic species.

At Motsumi Darts, we are humbled to provide the tools that help make these life-saving interventions possible. Today, we stand with all those on the frontlines of rhino conservation.

Because every rhino darted, treated, and protected is one more chance for the species to survive for generations to come.

Exciting News from Motsumi Darts!

We’re proud to announce the addition of a manual mill to our factory. This upgrade increases our flexibility and efficiency alongside CNC machines, helping us speed up production and expand capacity on specialised products like pole syringes, which are seeing growing demand.

It also allows for quick adjustments, small-batch parts, and custom components without lengthy programming — meaning faster turnaround times and a more reliable supply.

At Motsumi Darts, we’re always looking for ways to innovate and improve, so we can continue to meet the unique needs of wildlife veterinarians worldwide.

Wildlife Vets Namibia, thank you for highlighting this important point. At Motsumi Darts, animal welfare and handler safety are always top priorities. The prodder is designed as a professional tool to be used sparingly — helping vets and wildlife teams minimise handling time and ultimately reduce stress for the animals.

We’re proud to see our rechargeable Motsumi Prodders being put to use in such skilled hands.

Zebras on Their Way to Auction

Transporting wild animals is a process that requires skill, care, and the right equipment. These zebras were safely loaded into secure crates under the supervision of experienced wildlife professionals.
Specially designed tools such as the Motsumi Prodder and Motsumi Pole Syringe are sometimes used during the process — not to cause harm, but to ensure:
✅ The safety of the animals and handlers
✅ Calm, controlled movement during loading
✅ Safe administration of medication or sedation when required

With the right training and equipment, every precaution is taken to keep stress levels as low as possible and safeguard these magnificent animals on their journey to auction.

Contact us on +27 87 351 8324 for your specific requirements.

When to Use a Pole Syringe?

A pole syringe is a valuable tool for administering medications, tranquilizers, or vaccines to animals while maintaining a safe distance. It is particularly useful in wildlife, veterinary, and livestock management.

Ideal Situations for Using a Pole Syringe:
✅ Close-range drug administration – When a dart is not necessary or practical
✅ Sedation or medication in confined spaces – Pens, crates, or transport enclosures
✅ Minimizing animal stress – Reduces the need for capture or excessive restraint
✅ When dealing with sensitive or aggressive animals – Enhances handler safety
✅ Emergency treatment – Quick administration in the field without requiring darting equipment

Common Applications:
🔹 Wildlife conservation & management
🔹 Zoo & exotic animal care
🔹 Veterinary use in large & small animals
🔹 Livestock handling

World Wild Dog Day

African wild dogs are among Africa’s most endangered carnivores. Known for their speed, resilience, and strong bonds, these incredible animals continue to face threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and disease.

At Motsumi Darts, we’re proud to play a role in their protection — supporting wildlife veterinarians with the tools they need for safe immobilization, collaring, relocation, and medical interventions.

Today, we celebrate the wild dog — and the dedicated efforts to keep their future alive.

Testimonial from Dr HO Reuter

A recent visit to Motsumi Darts production factory was impressive. High-tech precision engineering machines operated by dedicated staff produce state-of-the-art, robust, accurate, and reliable remote delivery devices, we all know as Motsumi darts, in suitable sizes and with needle lengths for all species.

I have used Motsumi darts to administer potent immobilizing drugs on a multitude of species, from Damara Dik Dik to Hippo, and in different scenarios for over 10 years successfully now. David has not stopped adding new innovative ideas and upgrading his manufacturing equipment and technology and is always open to discussing potential improvements or additions to his range of darts.

Motsumi Darts manufactures and supplies marking vaccination darts we use for rabies vaccination of kudu from a helicopter, and sells some of the best blind folds, carry mats, prodders, rifle scopes, and other related equipment, allowing for a convenient one-stop shop of darting and game capture equipment. I am looking forward to receiving my Motsumi Sanna Remote Projector, which I believe will be an improvement on other projectors available currently.
