SaffronStays Launches JungleBrooke: India’s First Cageless, Pet-First Retreat in Kolad

/

SaffronStays has unveiled JungleBrooke, a pioneering hospitality concept in Kolad, Maharashtra, designed as a cageless, pet-first retreat where animals take center stage and humans are welcomed as companions. This unique property marks a milestone in India’s conscious travel movement, blending leisure with compassion

JungleBrooke is developed in partnership with Animals Matter To Me (AMTM), founded by Ganesh Nayak.

  • The retreat is envisioned as a safe haven for strays and pets, where animals are treated with dignity and freedom.

  • Unlike conventional resorts, JungleBrooke prioritizes pets—offering them open spaces, activities, and care—while humans enjoy the experience alongside them.

Spread across an acre within the lush AMTM Kolad campus, JungleBrooke offers a serene escape surrounded by greenery.

  • The retreat features 8 spacious cottages set amidst nature, designed to accommodate families, friends, and their pets.

  • Facilities include:

    • Pet-friendly swimming pool

    • Yoga and meditation sessions with pets

    • Pet karaoke and play zones

    • Guided nature trails and opportunities to interact with rescued animals


  • A portion of proceeds from JungleBrooke supports rescue, care, and rehabilitation of animals under AMTM’s sustainability program.

  • Guests are encouraged to participate in feeding rescued animals, fostering a deeper connection with the cause.

  • The retreat embodies responsible tourism, offering travelers a chance to contribute to animal welfare while enjoying a luxury getaway.


JungleBrooke is not just a vacation spot—it’s a movement towards compassionate hospitality. Guests can:

  • Bond with their pets in a cageless environment

  • Engage in mindful activities that celebrate the human-animal connection

  • Be part of a larger mission to support animal welfare in India

With JungleBrooke, SaffronStays has redefined hospitality by creating India’s first pet-first, cageless retreat. Nestled in Kolad’s natural beauty, the property offers a rare blend of leisure, sustainability, and compassion—making it a destination where every paw print matters.
