Camponotus norvigi has been collected primarily by Malaise trap and beating low vegetation, and rarely from yellow pan traps. No colonies have been collected. It is distributed mainly in montane forest, rainforest, and high-altitude rainforest in southern, western, and central Madagascar; in tropical dry forest in northern Madagascar, e.g., Res Tsingy de Bemaraha, and in gallery forest and open areas on the western portion of the island. It occurs at elevations of 20–1606 meters. This species is sympatric with Camponotus darwinii at the edge of PN Isalo and Ranomafana, at Ambohitantely (Forêt sclerophylle).
