Geographic range (Africa)

1,385 real GBIF-recorded occurrences across Africa — see this species on GBIF ↗.

This reflects real occurrence records submitted to GBIF, not a comprehensive range map — sampling effort varies significantly by country and region, so an absence here doesn't mean the species isn't present.
