The distribution of this subspecies is in Zambia west of the Luangwa river and west to Kariba, Shaba Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, north to the Kibanzao Plateau. In Tanzania north from Nyangaui and Kibwezi into southwestern Kenya as fas as Sotik. It can also be found in eastern Kenya and east of the Rift Valley into southernmost Ethiopia. Perhaps it also occurs as far as the Juba River in Somalia.

Duncan (1992) recognised the Upper Zambezi Zebra (Equus quagga zambeziensis Prazak, 1898). Groves and Bell (2004) come to the conclusion that the zebras from West Zambia and Malawi cannot be distinguished cranially and that they differ only slightly from other northern plains zebras. The rather minor size difference does not justify a separate subspecific status for the Upper Zambezi Zebra. Therefore, they combine these zebras with the Grant's Zebra (Equus quagga boehmi).

Recent civil wars in Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda have caused dramatic declines in all wildlife populations, including those of Grant’s zebra. It is now extinct in Burundi. Civil war in Angola during much of the past 25 years has devastated its wildlife populations, including its once-abundant plains zebra, and destroyed the national parks administration and infrastructure. Consequently, the Grant's Zebra is probably extinct or nearly so in Angola, although confirmation will have to wait until future surveys are conducted.

Hi Chris,
Beutiful pov on this zebra emphasizing the stripes. Colors, sharpness, and DOF are right-on. I have seen many good posts from you of a, b, and c. I would be curious to see postings of birds as they are far elusive and difficult to photograph. Excellent work. Danilo
~ oops, greenie to follow

Hi Chris,
Very nice shot of this zebra, with an excellent focus. This tight crop showing nothing more than black and white stripes was an excellent idea. Very good details. Very well done !
