It is known from the Inyanga Mountains of eastern Zimbabwe at elevations of 2,400–2,560 m (7,870–8,400 ft) asl; it is expected to occur in the adjacent Mozambique but has not been recorded there, probably because of lack of surveys.

[2] Natural habitats of these toads are montane grasslands with granite outcrops.

They hide under stones, in cracks in the granite, and in rodent burrows.

Breeding takes place in temporary pools.

[1] The species is hard to find but appears to be fairly common within its very limited range.
