Visiting the South African Embassy
There are no parking facilities for the public at the Embassy, although street parking spaces sometime can be found nearby. However, if you plan to visit the Embassy for consular services, please plan to arrive by public transportation or drop-off.
White House Tour
The Embassy of South Africa cannot arrange tours of the White House for South African citizens. The US Department of State has advised the Embassy that, at present access for foreign citizens to White House tours as part of an Embassy-sponsored public tour group, is on hold. We are therefore unable to process any requests at this time. We will post an update on the website immediately if conditions change.
