Range and distribution edit
Coastal topi occur in Kenya in the Lamu, Garissa and Tana River districts. They were formerly found in southern Somalia in riverine grasslands on the lower Shebelle and Juba Rivers and around Lake Badana; no current information is available on these populations. In 1999, the total population was assessed at ~100,000 individuals.[3]
