Time difference between Nairobi and Johannesburg

Johannesburg is 1 hour behind Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya is UTC+3 · Johannesburg, South Africa is UTC+2 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Nairobi does not change its clocks and Johannesburg does not change its clocks — so 1 hour is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
