Range:
Ranges from Angola in the west to Malawi in the east, with its most southward extension in north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa (Stuart and Stuart 2013). A recent study indicated that it is likely to occur in the Lower Zambezi Protected Area Complex in Zambia (Bird and Mateke 2013). Similarly, camera trapping studies in the Ka-Ndengeza and Vyeboom villages, Vhembe district, Limpopo province in South Africa had numerous detections of Selous's Mongooses (L.H. Swanepoel pers. obs. 2014). They have not been recorded from Swaziland (Monadjem 1998, pers. comm. 2013), but may well occur.
Conservation:
It is known to be present in several protected areas.
