Its records concentrate most heavily in Namibia, South Africa and Kenya, followed by Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The atlas holds 268 open records of this mammal across 14 countries.

Because Mungos mungo is recorded in both the northern and southern hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
