It is a widespread species which is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya south to South Africa, and in The Gambia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Chad in west Africa. This is a close relative of the widespread Asian black-necked stork, the only other member of the genus Ephippiorhynchus. Order: Ciconiiformes, Family: Ciconiidae, Genus: Ephippiorhynchus, Species: Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis (Shaw, 1800).
