Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Windhoek uses the NAD ($) and Orlando uses the USD ($). Conversations can stay in English, which is official in both countries. Be careful behind the wheel: Windhoek drives on the left, Orlando on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Windhoek and Orlando?
Windhoek is 6 hours behind Orlando. Windhoek runs on GMT+2 and Orlando on GMT-4. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 2 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
How far is Windhoek from Orlando?
About 11,967 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 14h 35m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.
Can I send this meeting time as a calendar invite?
Yes. Pick a time on the slider above, open the meeting card, customize the title and duration, then download the .ics file. It imports cleanly into Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar with the correct timezone attached.
What currency do Windhoek and Orlando use?
Windhoek uses the Namibian dollar (NAD, $); Orlando uses the United States dollar (USD, $). Check the live rate before transferring money or paying with a card abroad — most banks add a 1–3 % FX margin on top of the mid-market rate.
How do I call Windhoek from Orlando?
Dial the international prefix used by your carrier (often 011), then +264, then the local number — drop any leading zero of the city or mobile code. For free calls, WhatsApp, Signal, and FaceTime work over Wi-Fi regardless of country code.
What language is spoken in Windhoek and Orlando?
Both Namibia and United States count English among their official languages, so business meetings often skip translation. Windhoek also has Afrikaans, German, Herero, Khoekhoe, Kwangali, Lozi, Ndonga, Tswana; Orlando adds no other official tongue.
Do Windhoek and Orlando drive on the same side of the road?
No. Namibia drives on the left, United States on the right. If you're renting, expect a learning curve on the first day — especially at roundabouts and when judging the centre of the lane.
