Afropavo congensis occurs in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Research in 1993-1995 confirmed its presence in 13 out of 20 survey areas, although it was not abundant in any. This work also identified new sites that significantly extend the species's range north-east into the Ituri Forest4. Subsequently, it was also located north of the Lomako river and along the Yekokora river1, as well as further south between the Lukenie and Sankuru rivers7. Forest between the Lomami and Congo rivers may also hold significant concentrations, but information from that area remains limited4.
