It is found in the highlands of western Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda, and in the extreme eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

[2][4] Common names Kisenyi forest treefrog and Kivu tree frog have been coined for it.

[3][4] Dorsal coloration is variable and adult males may be tan, reddish-brown, or light green.

The onset of heavy rains causes the eggs to hatch, and the flooding washes the tadpoles into water.

[1][5] This species is probably affected by habitat loss caused by agriculture, wood extraction, and human settlements.
