It lives in an area reported in 2012 to be less than 100 square kilometers[5] and is threatened by habitat loss due to logging.

The tail is red in young Rondo dwarf galagos, and darkens with age.

By clinging to forest life and leaping, the species can feed in the leaf litter and the understory.

[2] The Rondo dwarf galago is known to live along the coast of Tanzania at elevations between 50 and 900 meters above sea level.

The eight subpopulations can be classified into two broad populations, one in southwest Tanzania and the other about 400 km north from there, surrounding Dar es Salaam.
