Okapis are found only in the tropical forests of northeastern Zaire. They prefer altitudes between 500 and 1,000 m, although they may venture above 1,000 m in the eastern montane rainforests. One sighting occurred at 1,450 m on Mt. Hoyo, in the upper Ituri.
The okapi is found exclusively in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Specifically they are found in the Ituri rainforest. They live in dense tropical rainforest and montane rainforests. They are surrounded on all 4 sides of their home range by unsuitable habitat. As such they are confined to the Ituri rainforest.
