Habitat:
Inhabits primary and relatively unmodified equatorial forests ranging from lowland to mid elevations. While it shows a preference for high primary rainforest, it may occupy patches of forest within savanna mosaics; also occurs in old farmbush and old secondary forest (Kingdon and Feer 2013).
Range:
The Bay Duiker has a disjunct distribution, occurring in the forests of West Africa from Guinea-Bissau to Togo; and in Central Africa, east of the Niger River to the montane forests in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, and south to north-east Angola to about 11°S. There are no confirmed records from Gambia or Benin (Kingdon and Feer 2013, and references therein). Formerly occurred in Uganda, but now extirpated (East 1999).

The Bay Duiker occurs in a number of protected areas including: Sapo NP (Liberia), Taï NP (Côte d'Ivoire), Bia and Kakum NPs (Ghana), Campo-Ma'an, Lobéké NPs and Dja Wildlife Refuge (Cameroon), Dzanga-Sangha and Bangassou (Central African Republic), Monte Alén NP (Equatorial Guinea), Ivindo, Loango, Lope, Minkebe Mouakalaba-Doudou NPs (Gabon), Odzala and Nouabale-Ndoki NPs and Léfini Faunal Reserve (Congo) and Kahuzi-Biega, Maiko and Salonga NPs (DR Congo) (East 1999, Wilson 2001, Kingdon and Feer 2013).
