'''Tambourah''', also spelled ''Tamboura'', is a village located in Haut-Mbomou Prefecture, Central African Republic.
== History == On 19 January 2016, LRA fighters raided Tambourah and abducted 16 people. Consequently, the residents fled and sought refuge in Zemio.<ref>{{cite report|author=ACTED|date=10 April 2016|title=RCA RRM : Evaluation Multisectorielle à Zemio (Haut Mbomou), Rapport Préliminaire (ACTED / 10.04.2016) |url=https://assessments.hpc.tools/attachments/2261dee9-1c44-4e45-b4ac-8b286c6e57df/acted_rrm_rapport_preliminaire_msa_zemio-tabane-tambourah_vf_2.pdf|page=1|access-date= 13 February 2023}}</ref>
