About Tinashe Hunting Outfitters

Tinashe is owned and operated by Clayton and Sabrina Fletcher. The Fletcher family has been

involved in hunting for the last three generations and we have hosted visitors from all over

the world for hunting safaris at our luxury lodge. Tinashe is situated in the world-renowned

Kalahari, a wildlife oasis in the North West province of South Africa.

When we moved here, the Kalahari was wild and uninhabited, but nevertheless, hunters have

been drawn to the unique, sandy area by the promise of the safari experience of a lifetime.

Clayton grew up in big 5 country and he has been a hunter since he was a young boy. His

reputation as a hunting guide grew rapidly and he soon found himself hunting with likes from

the royal family from Saudi Arabia, king of Morocco, prime minister of Russia and many more.

With all his experience he is able to guide his clients safely and professionally. Clayton

takes pride in his success as a hunting outfitter and guarantees outstanding trophies, great

memories and new friends.

One of the best and experienced professional hunters / operator person I have ever had

the privilege of working with. Having known Clayton around 15 years now and have seen many

clients leave his camp and never have I seen an unhappy one. Well done, your passion shows

in your professionalism.

Charles Jones

You will not find a guy any better at making hunting dreams reality than Clayton. He tailors

everything about the trip to fit your expectations. From elegant air conditioned suites,

to culinary delights cooked by a chef, every possible thing you could ask for to drink in

a cool box, and fabulous companionship, you get it all. The hunting is whatever you want it

to be. I have enough trips under this old belt to know when things are perfect. We came

home from his one with just one word. ( Wow ). They are still probably the premier lion

destination in South Africa and have added dignitary treatment beginning to end. You will

always talk to people that have negative thoughts on hunting in South Africa by either

talking to someone with poor experience or booking themselves with some lesser outfitter.

The Tinashe experience is one for those who just want to start off with the best. I know

we made the right choice every time I talk to someone else that has anything bad to say

about hunting the game ranches of South Africa. Do like we have. Book with Tinashe and

believe. Your dream hunt is there and you can be confident of that. Just be prepared to

meet a new friend for life.
