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 in the dense forest that is spread all across Central Africa in the Northern and Eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo and also along the northern and eastern part of the river Congo. Okapis have an impressively long prehensile tongue that is black in color.
