Sclerophrys kisoloensis occurs in mature, undisturbed montane forests at elevations of 1,500–3,000 m (4,900–9,800 ft) above sea level, possibly wider. Breeding takes place in pools and slow streams. It is a rarely encountered species in most of its range. It can be threatened by habitat loss caused particularly by agriculture and wood extraction.^[1]
