The only place where one can find an okapi is in the forests of northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Their range is limited by high montane forests to the east, a swamp forest below 500 m to the west, savanna to the north and woodland to the south.
Okapi are found only in the Ituri Rainforest, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly called Zaire), in central Africa. They live in tropical forests at fairly high elevations, between 1,500 and 3,300 feet. Okapi are nocturnal.By day, they stay in the impenatrable swamps and thickets.At night, they move up in elevation to drier, more open forests, where they feed on leaves from over 100 species of plants. By getting food from such a diverse array of plants, they help ensure they can find enough food.kapi are nocturnal. By day, they stay in the impenatrable swamps and thickets.
