 They are said to favour unstable or transitional habitats.At least in the central part of Kruger National Park, South Africa, Steenbok show a distinct preference for "Acacia tortilis" savannah throughout the year, with no tendency to migrate to moister areas during the dry season (unlike many larger African savannah ungulates, including species sympatric with Steenbok in the wet season).Population density is typically 0.3–1.0 individuals per square kilometre, reaching 4 per km2 in optimal habitats.
