Capparis fascicularis  is widespread, from Senegal and Gambia Eastward to Eritrea and Ethiopia, and Southward to Eastern South Africa and Swaziland. This species generally occurs in deciduous bush-land and thickets, grassland with scattered trees, upland dry evergreen and riverine forest, and sometimes on termite-mounds in East Africa up to 2100 m altitude. In Kampala, this tree can be found in Makerere University.
