is 150-1200 m. It lives in drier and thornier habitat than any other galago (or indeed, any other African primate). This scattered bush habitat may require it to spend more time on the ground than other galagos. It uses small trees (2-15 m in height), many of which produce gum. It can be found in all strata in Acacia-Commiphora deciduous brushland and thicket.

is a solitary forager, usually alone but sometimes in pairs or trios. Allogrooming between mother and offspring has been observed. A species-specific loud call is the advertising quack that is possibly used to maintain long-distance spacing and territoriality. Other calls include yaps, “chitters,” “pings,” and “woos.” Over much of the range, density is probably less than 1 ind/ha, although densities are much higher at some localities.
