Time Zone in South Africa:

SAST (UTC+2)

Time Zone in Madagascar:

EAT (UTC+3)

Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in Madagascar 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. Madagascar operates on East Africa Time (UTC+3) year-round with no daylight saving time changes. For optimal calling times, contact during Madagascar's business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (which corresponds to 5 AM to 2 PM UTC), and remember that the country is consistently 3 hours ahead of UTC regardless of the season.
