About the venue

BK Arena hosts basketball and concerts: the Basketball Africa League playoffs and final are played there. On an event night, the closer you stay, the easier the evening, and a private driver means no queue for a ride home.

Amahoro, in Kibagabaga, is about five minutes by car from the arena, with a pool, a fire pit and the Red Room cinema for the nights without a game. Urugwiro and Ikaze are about ten minutes away, Irebero about fifteen. The concierge can look for event tickets and arrange the driver for the evening.
