Habitat:
This little known species is a dry savanna specialist that is not present in mountainous areas.
Range:
This species is known only from two East African locations, the type locality of "Nguruman" in southern Kenya, and Himo in Tanzania. These two localities are not connected as suitable habitat at Nguruman is isolated by Lake Magadi to the north, swamp to the south, and the Rift Valley escarpment to the west. Until the taxonomic issues surrounding the relationship between Crocidura voi have been resolved it is difficult to determine the full extent of the species geographic range. This species has been recorded at approximately 800 m asl.
Conservation:
There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. It is not known if the species is present within any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, general ecology and threats to this species. There is a need for additional taxonomic research, especially concerning the relationship between this species and Crocidura voi.
