Best Time to Call South Africa from Netherlands

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

Time Zone in Netherlands:

CET/CEST (UTC+1/+2)

Time Zone in South Africa:

SAST (UTC+2)

Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in South Africa for business calls. For personal calls, evenings and weekends are usually best, avoiding very late hours.

The Netherlands operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October, so aim to call between 9 AM-5 PM local time, which translates to 8 AM-4 PM UTC in winter or 7 AM-3 PM UTC in summer. Be mindful that the Netherlands observes daylight saving time with slightly different start/end dates than North America, which can temporarily create unusual time differences for a few weeks each year. When calling South Africa, keep in mind the country operates on South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 year-round with no daylight saving time changes. The best times to call from most Western countries are early morning or late evening your local time to catch South Africans during their business hours (9 AM-5 PM SAST), and remember that their consistent timezone makes scheduling easier since you won't need to adjust for seasonal time shifts.
