Habitat:
This species has been recorded from both dry and moist wooded savanna habitats. It is mostly associated with bushveld habitats in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It probably roosts in both buildings and hollow trees; in Zimbabwe it has been recorded roosting in small colonies in hollow trees (Cotterill and Giddings 1987).
Range:
This species is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, ranging from Senegal and Gambia in West Africa, to northern Cameroon and Central African Republic, from here into Sudan and Ethiopia, and then south through much of East Africa and southeastern Africa, being reported as far south as eastern South Africa and possibly Swaziland.
Conservation:
There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place. It has been recorded from the Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe, and likely is present in a number of additional protected areas.
