The oribi occurs in a variety of habitats - from savannahs, floodplains and tropical grasslands with tall grasses to montane grasslands at low altitudes, up to 2000m above the sea level.
This antelope is highly sporadic in distribution; it occurs mainly in eastern, southern and western Africa, ranging from Nigeria and Senegal in the west to Ethiopia and Eritrea in the east and southward to Angola and the Eastern Cape (South Africa) [REF].
