An individual was photographed at Ngonye Falls campsite, and individuals were also heard calling from the western bank of the Zambezi River in the vicinity of Ngonye Falls. Additional material was collected from the eastern bank of the Zambezi River below Ngonye Falls. This species is widespread in Zambia ( Broadley 1971a; Channing 2001), although the only other published record for Western Province is Sesheke ( Channing 2001; Poynton and Broadley 1985b, 1991), 110 km to the south-east.
