Known from eastward flowing rivers, including Athi and Tana drainages (Ref. 52331). However, The Athi-Galana-Sabaki drainage seems to be the only remaining system for Anguilla species for the conservation of Kenyan eels (Ref. 30558). Damming of the Tana River prevents the eels from reaching original feeding grounds, since eels only enter rivers where they were born to feed and grow before they travel into the ocean for spawning (Ref. 30558).
