German translation:Banga Wanga
Explanation:
I do not think there is a German translation for that, as it is an African tree name. I would write Banga Wanga in the translation.
However, if that is any help, I have found the Latin name:

Amblygonocarpus andongensis

see here:

Many customers stay away from using Tropical hardwoods because they feel it is their duty to conserve the rainforests, and good for you. We at Country Woods do not support illegal logging and believe strongly in reforestation and putting back what we’ve taken from the earth. One of our stops on this last trip was at Mozambique’s one and only FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) accredited mill. This particular mill has a 45000 ha of natural forest in their concession and they are planting 4 trees for every 1 that is cut down. They also have effective fire controls in place and stick to 20 year rotational foresty cycle, where only mature trees over a certain diameter are taken out. So now you can buy Panga Panga, African Mahogany, Kiaat, Chanfuta and ***Banga Wanga (Amblygonocarpus andongensis)*** from Country Woods without having a guilty conscience.
