We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Private jet catering with local specialities from Maun

Maun is the door to the Okavango Delta, and the private jet menu for Maun International reads like it. The inflight menu leans on what Botswana actually eats and serves guests: beef from Botswana's cattle country, bream and tigerfish from the delta, seswaa pulled beef, morogo greens and phaleche with a tomato relish. These local specialities travel well when cooked for the galley, so we pack them as private jet food that finishes in your oven or plates cold. Seasonal fruit from the region and rusks for early lodge departures round out the private jet menu around Maun and the wider North West District.

Private jet food at Maun is shaped by the bush: guests are heading to or returning from camps, and they want something that tastes of the place. Our inflight menu for the North West District starts with seswaa, slow-cooked and shredded beef, served with phaleche, and delta fish prepared without heavy sauces. Local specialities such as morogo and roasted vegetables sit beside a cold board for the drawer. Every dish on the private jet menu is cooked for the galley you actually have, and Maun's dry-season heat means chilled items stay sealed until you re-plate.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Maun International Airport (FBMN)

Maun's apron fills with light jets and turboprops each dry season, all bound for Okavango camps, and the galley brief changes with them. Private jet catering at Maun International is cooked for that reality: a drawer, a small oven, and a crew that may not see a shop again for days. We plate inflight catering for guests and cabin crew meals for the front and back of the aircraft, fit for business aviation catering runs and executive jet catering stops alike. Diplomatic flight catering is handled with the same care, and in-flight catering of every kind leaves our kitchen labelled by seat.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Maun International Airport

Corporate jet catering at Maun mostly serves flight departments running guests to and from safari camps, and business jet catering here follows the same dry-season pattern. Charter flight catering and VIP flight catering lean on grilled beef, delta fish and crisp salads. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the party and the aircraft, and luxury inflight catering at Maun means cooking for the galley you actually have. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders for FBMN come together once we know the type and the headcount.

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Maun International Airport (MUB)

Government flight catering into Maun follows a protocol your office sets. Head of state flight catering is traced by seat and cleared before cooking. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share the same discipline here: a named team, sealed trays and no names on the labels.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Maun International Airport (FBMN)

At Maun, the gluten question usually starts with bread: phaleche is naturally gluten free, but lodge rolls and rusks are not, so we cook and box gluten free dishes on a separate board. Kosher, halal, vegan, allergen free and kids meals are treated as a procedure: the dish is cleared with you, packed apart from the guest trays and labelled by seat number only. Special meals for a Botswana departure are confirmed against what the local produce allows on your date.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Maun International Airport

When the crew stays on the aircraft at Maun, crew meals are a separate line on the order, requested and invoiced like any other. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals in crew meal boxes, with crew catering sized to the rotation. Cockpit meals are easy to eat during duty, and different meals for pilots are available so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals ride in the same box set.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Maun International Airport (FBMN)

Maun International handles everything from light jets to larger business aircraft, and the aircraft type decides how galley catering reaches the cabin. A smaller jet takes airside catering delivery by hand through the door; larger types may need a high loader for aircraft provisioning. Tell us the type and we pack for that galley, with trays sized to the drawers and oven you actually have.

About the airportFBMN / MUB

Airport catering at Maun International Airport (FBMN)

FBMN sits at 3,093 feet in the North West District and sees heavy traffic in the dry months. Airport catering at Maun works around that seasonality, with general aviation, charter and government flights all handled at the same terminal.

Business aviation

Maun is a business aviation hub for the delta. Private jet catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering all follow the season, and aviation catering for business aviation catering runs and executive jet catering often depends on the camp schedule. Diplomatic flight catering sits alongside, with cabin crew meals packed as part of every order that asks for them. FBO services and ground handling services at Maun shape how general aviation flights are served.

Customs & food import

Customs and veterinary controls in Botswana are firm on animal products. If you are arriving from abroad, expect inspection of any meat or dairy on board; catering ordered locally avoids the issue.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Having 4 guests request a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables at FBMN meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a revised passenger count. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. The Galley Girls prepared the salads for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. It made a difference to have the sandwiches ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“My order at MUB covered avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 6 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a revised passenger count. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about galley preparation. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the fruit plates clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of snack boxes matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 7 passenger portions of chicken skewers with a couscous salad were the easy part; managing an evening cabin service at Maun International Airport took more planning. The Galley Girls labelled the fruit plates in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. I would discuss private jet catering menu with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination.”

Asked before every FBMN slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Maun?+

How much does private jet catering cost at FBMN? Look at the menu first. A lodge-style grill with seswaa will come in lower than a multi-course dinner built on Botswana fillet. We quote per order, never per airport.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Maun?+

For a dawn lodge-run or a late-evening departure from FBMN, send the slot with your request. That is what decides the kitchen schedule. Last-minute orders are handled, and we confirm what is available for the date.

What about customs for catering on a delegation or government flight into Maun?+

Official party, head of state or ministerial flight: customs at Maun looks at what is carried, so we declare it plainly and keep items sealed until service. The menu is set with protocol before cooking begins.

Can you bring food into Botswana on a private jet?+

Customs and veterinary rules for Botswana limit what animal products can enter, and the cattle industry is why. If you land at FBMN with provisions from another country, expect inspection. Ordering the next leg's catering in Maun means nothing needs declaring.

Is catering part of a charter into Maun?+

Charter terms rarely include food, and Maun is no different. You order catering with us and we invoice it apart from the flight. The handling agent opens the airside gate and we meet the aircraft there.
