The Lazy Cisticola is distributed in Africa south of the Sahara. The distribution is spotty and is determined by the habitat requirements, namely rocky outcrops and boulders in savanna country. For a distribution map see Birdlife International.

It runs mouse-like across the rocks while it hunts for insects and beetles.

A common vocalisation is a series of squeaky notes described as resembling squeezing a rubber toy interspersed with clicking and sucking notes.
