Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Nairobi is 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Auckland.
Keep meetings inside 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Nairobi — that maps to 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Auckland. Auckland is 9 hours ahead of Nairobi, so you only get about 1 hour of overlap a day — worth locking in a standing time like 8:00 AM in Nairobi (5:00 PM in Auckland) before it slips. Remember that Auckland shifts for daylight saving and Nairobi doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change.
