Distribution: This species is widely distributed in semi-arid to mesic savannahs of southern Africa, generally south of the Caprivi strip, in a wide variety of habitats that contain rocky outcrops (Monadjem et al. 2015). Its distribution extends marginally into the western parts of Angola and across the Zambezi into central Mozambique and southern Malawi (Monadjem et al. 2015). It has also been recorded in rocky areas at Shangani Ranch, southern Zimbabwe (D. MacFadyen unpubl. data).
