Terrestrial|Freshwater (=Inland waters)
It lives generally in lower-lying coastal regions, and at higher altitudes in some places. It is a species of open savannah, bush land and grassland. It can survive in some modified habitats, and can re-establish populations following serious disturbance. It breeds in shallow pans, vleis, open swamps, and dams with water lilies or other floating vegetation. It uses both semi-permanent and permanent water. It differs from the similar Hyperolius viridis in that it calls from floating vegetation, as opposed to grass in wet fields.
