Papio cynocephalus is a broadly distributed species, ranging through most of Eastern Africa south of the equatorial rain forests. These baboons occur in Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Somalia, Tanzania, Zaire, and Zimbabwe. They are found east of the Luangwa in Zambia, in Northern Mozambique and throughout most of Tanzania.

This species is part of a complex of closely related African baboon species. We have an account of the whole genus under Papio. (Groves, 2001[2]; Jolly, 1993[3])[1]

Yellow baboons are found in savannah, grassland steppe, and rainforest habitats. (Groves, 2001[4]; Jolly, 1993[5]; Melnick and Pearl, 1987[6]; Primate Info Net, 2000[7])
