I am sure that every traveller who goes to Africa on a wildlife safari for the first time, goes with certain hopes and expectations. Although I did see most of the mammals I had hoped to see, there were four big misses; rhinos, buffalo, leopard and cheetah. Was I disappointed? Yes, I guess so, but I certainly did not feel cheated, after all I saw lots of amazing animals. Besides, missing those four just gives me an excuse to go back again (like I really need that kind of excuse). And I did see and photograph the four-striped grass mouse, which for some obscure reason caught my imagination before I left and was on my wish list. I think that this just reflects my attitude that all animals, from the largest to the smallest, are fascinating
