Thanks for the great reply. Doing some research last night, I found that Toto Tours did a nice trip several weeks ago to South Africa - the exact time frame we are looking home (like leaving the day after Christmas or even very late on 12/25). Doesn't look like they are offering that tour again in 2003 :-( We very much enjoy small group tours (did VentureOut and loved it, but AtlantisEvents-type things are too big). Anyone have ideas on gay group travel in Africa?
