Khaya anthotheca trees may grow between 30–60 metres (100–200 ft) tall. They have greyish-brown bark. On mature trees, white scented flowers are borne at the ends of the branches. The tallest tree in Zimbabwe, the "Big Tree in Chirinda Forest", is a Khaya anthotheca, located in the Chirinda Forest Botanical Reserve. In 1990 it measured 58.5 metres (192 ft); more recently, it has also been reported as 65 m tall, though this measurement is unverified.

Chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest, Uganda have been observed eating bark and resin of Khaya anthotheca. As the bark is quite low in nutritional value and the observed chimpanzees were suffering from various ailments including wounds, leukocyte levels suggesting infection, long lasting coughs, or high parasite loads, the presumption is that it is consumed to aid recovery. In laboratory settings it inhibits the growth of the bacteria Enterococcus faecium and Escherichia coli.

It is widespread, occurring from Guinea Bissau east to Uganda and Tanzania, and south to Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It is fairly widely grown in plantations within its natural area of distribution, but also in South Africa, tropical Asia and tropical America. It is easily confused with other Khaya species like K. grandifoliola, K. senegalensis or K. ivorensis in the north of its natural range. Habitat The East African mahogany grows in medium to low altitude areas in evergreen forests. They require damp lands in order to grow.
