As of January 2024, the number of South African resident travelers departing from South Africa amounted to just over 357,200. Compared to the previous month, this represented a significant decrease from roughly 620,600. The number of South African leaving the country was highest that month, December 2023, with over 620,600 citizens leaving the country. This is likely due to numerous South Africans going on vacation as many employers have a shut down period over December.
