Terminus is located on the left bank of the Niger River in Niamey city center. The adjacent neighborhoods are Kombo in the northwest, Kalley Center in the northeast and Gamkalley Sébanguey in the southeast. The district is located in a plateau with a layer of sand less than 2.5 meters deep, which means that only limited infiltration is possible.

Terminus belongs to the Niamey-Bas district ("Nieder-Niamey"). The standard scheme for street names in Terminus is rue NB 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by the abbreviation NB for Niamey-Bas 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.
