Swayne's hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus swaynei) is an endangered antelope native to Ethiopia. Two of the largest remaining populations are located in Senkelle Swayne's Hartebeest Sanctuary, Nechisar National Park and Maze National Park. [3] It has been extirpated from Somalia.

Coke's hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus cokii) or Kongoni is a large migratory antelope that is native to Kenya and Tanzania. It can breed with Lelwel hartebeest to produce a hybrid known as the Kenya Highland hartebeest ( Alcelaphus buselaphus lelwel x cokii ).
The bubal hartebeest ranged originally across Africa north of the Sahara, from Morocco to Egypt, where it disappeared earlier. [7] It was also present with certainty in the Southern Levant prior to the Iron Age, [8] but Francis Harper (1945) found only "none too well substantiated" recent historical records from Palestine and Arabia.

Lichtenstein's hartebeest have good eyesight but a poor sense of smell. Their main sounds are a bellow and a sneeze-snort sound. They travel in herds. Herds are mainly kept between 1-10 individuals (89% of all LH in Tanzania have been within 1-10 animals. The herd may be composed of more than 10 individuals but it is seldom. (Booth 1985).
