US President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are set to meet privately with members of ailing Nelson Mandela's family.
The White House said on Saturday the Obamas will not see the former South African president in the hospital.
Obama will not visit his political hero Mandela out of deference for the anti-apartheid icon's "peace and comfort," a US official said.
The 94-year-old Mandela had been hospitalised for three weeks with a recurring lung infection.
Obama is in South Africa as part of his weeklong trip and arrived in Pretoria for talks with President Jacob Zuma.
Obama had told reporters on Friday that he did not need a photo-op with Mandela, who he met once, in Washington DC in 2005.
His aides had said previously they would "gauge" the situation once on the ground before deciding whether Obama would visit Mandela in the hospital.
