The district is located on the southern edge of the urban area of ​​Niamey V. Banga Bana is bordered to the north by National Road 6 and to the east by National Road 27 . The neighboring districts are Karadjé in the north, Pont Kennedy in the northeast, Kirkissoye in the southeast and Nordiré in the west. Banga Bana covers an area of ​​approximately 208.2 hectares .

The district lies on an alluvial floor . The groundwater is at risk of being polluted. In the south and west, however, the groundwater level is so high that no infiltration is possible, which in turn increases the risk of flooding. There is a largely silted up temporary lake in Banga Bana.

The standard scheme for street names in Banga Bana is rue BB 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by BB for Banga Bana and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations.

Banga Bana is considered one of the most dangerous areas of Niamey in terms of robbery and theft.
