It is found in all strata of savanna woodland (e.g. miombo), dense to open brushland areas, montane forest up to 2400 m above sea level, and secondary and highly fragmented forest and woodland, including cultivated areas. It is also found in forests where no other species of galagos occur.

Two mating and birth seasons occur per year. Battles between rival males are frequent during these times, with combatants rising up to face one another on their hindfeet, their arms outstretched, and teeth barred. Males box, grapple, and bite during antagonistic interactions. These maneuvers are mostly bluff, and actual injuries are rare. Mating lasts 7-12 minutes, and individuals have been observed to mate 22 times on thefirst day of estrus. Normally a single offspring is born (rarely twins), after gestation of 140-142 days. Females have a postpartum estrus; the vagina is closed except during the breeding season. Young are 19 g at birth and sparsely covered with fur; their abdomens are naked. While the mother is out in search of food, they are either left behind in the nest or carried along in her mouth. Weaning occurs at 70-100 days. Adult size is nearly attained by about four months, and sexual maturity occurs at 11-13 months. Individuals may live for up to 16 years.

lives in large multimale-multifemale groups of up to nine members (usually 2-5) for much of the year. They are led by an alpha male. Several individuals will commonly sleep together by day. Their sleeping sites range from near the ground to 10 m up in the forest canopy and include tree holes in hollow rotten branches or boles, forks of trees, unoccupied man-made beehives with or without nest material, and self-constructed leaf nests, which they take 30 minutes to construct. They have been known to use wooden nest boxes placed for birds. During the mating season, groups break up into temporary breeding pairs that go off to live on their own. Individuals forage singly or in groups of up to three. The Northern Lesser
