Leptopelis concolor inhabits savanna woodland and clearings in dry forest at elevations below 1,500 m (4,900 ft). It can survive in modified habitats as long as good vegetation cover remains. The eggs are laid in a nest buried in mud near water. It is a common species and, given its adaptability, it is not considered to be facing any significant threats. It is present in several protected areas, such as the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks in Kenya.[1]
