Best Time to Call Ethiopia from South Africa
When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.
Time Zone in South Africa:
SAST (UTC+2)
Time Zone in Ethiopia:
EAT (UTC+3)
Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in Ethiopia for business calls. For personal calls, evenings and weekends are usually best, avoiding very late hours.
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. Ethiopia uses East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3) year-round with no daylight saving time changes, making scheduling consistent and predictable. For optimal calling times, aim for Ethiopia's late morning to early afternoon (9 AM-2 PM EAT), which corresponds to 6 AM-11 AM UTC, allowing you to catch business hours while avoiding early morning or late evening calls.
