 The historical range of the impala , spanning across southern and eastern Africa , has remained intact to a great extent , although it has disappeared from a few places such as Burundi . The range extends from central and southern Kenya and northeastern Uganda in the east to northern KwaZulu @-@ Natal in the south , and westward up to Namibia and southern Angola . The black @-@ faced impala is confined to southwestern Angola and Kaokoland in northwestern Namibia ; the status of this subspecies has not been monitored since the 2000s . The common impala has a wider distribution , and has been introduced in protected areas in Gabon and across southern Africa .
