"Mark's farm & lodge is located at Mangalali village on the way to Ruaha National Park, is a really nice place to be there. They have beautiful rooms with affordable prices, playing ground for the kids, farm area, amazing camping site and amazing picnic area. They are the best in customer services. I really love their ideas of helping people with disability and giving them a chance to learn and do other activities as other people. I really appreciate it, keep it up. I recommend this eco_ lodge to every visitor/tourist/local in Iringa region. Thank you"

Who is mark?
Mark is a happy man. He likes to sing and works during the week on the care farm in the east of the Netherlands. He has classic autism and an estimated IQ of 33. Mark certainly has his limitations, but also has opportunities. In the Netherlands there is space for his opportunities, in Africa it should be more challenging.
