The current range is South-West Sudan west of the White Nile (Bahr-el-Jebel). It includes the whole or part of the provinces West-Equatoria and Bahr el Ghasal.
Boundaries of the range, in the East: White Nile (Bahr el Jebel) from Nimule to Shambe, the line Shambe -Bentiu (confluence of Bahr el Arab in the Nahr el Ghasal). To the east of this line the swampy parts of the Nile, the so-called Sudd, forms a natural boundary.
Boundaries in North: The Lol River at about 9 deg. North. Possibly a few animals live north of the river between the Lol River and the Bahr el Arab. The Lol is not a natural boundary as it is often dry.
Boundaries in the West: The boundary between Sudan and CAR, except for the gallery forests in the south of the common boundary.
Boundaries in the South: the boundary of Sudan with Uganda and Congo, except the forest areas along the border.
Within the range the distribution is limited. Areas with large population (Nimule, Shambe, Yei) are besides those with small or very small populations.
