It is found in southeastern Kenya and eastern Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Songo Songo Island.Its natural habitats are lowland forests, dense woodlands, thickets, and the forest-miombo woodland boundaries. It is regularly seen but difficult to detect. It is probably affected by habitat loss caused by agriculture, wood extraction and human settlement.
