US President Barack Obama is set to meet South African President Jacob Zuma, as the country continues to hold prayers and vigils for ailing former leader Nelson Mandela.
Mr Obama's Air Force One landed in Pretoria on Friday evening, as part of his three-country tour of Africa.
The US president has described Mr Mandela as a "hero for the world".
But prior to his arrival he said he did not expect to see the former leader, who is critically ill in hospital.
The 94-year-old was admitted on 8 June with a recurring lung infection.
