Time difference between Nairobi and Cape Town

Cape Town is 1 hour behind Nairobi. Put the other way round: Nairobi is 1 hour ahead of Cape Town.

Nairobi is UTC+3 in summer and UTC+3 in winter; Cape Town is UTC+2 and UTC+2.

When you can both be at your desks

Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 7 hours in common: 10:00 to 17:00 in Nairobi, which is 09:00 to 16:00 in Cape Town. Those are the hours to aim a call at.

Daylight saving

Neither Nairobi nor Cape Town changes its clocks, so this gap is the same every day of the year.

Plan a meeting across more than two cities

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
