Tamou is a village and "Rural commune" in Niger.[1] The town is capital of its Rural Commune in the Say Department of Tillabéri Region, in the far southwest of the nation.[2] It is southwest of Niamey, on the right (western) bank of the Niger River, between the departmental capital Say and the border of Burkina Faso.[3] [4] Tamou Commune is home to the Tamou Total Reserve, a wildlife reserve which is part of the larger W National Park and Transborder Reserve. The Tamou Reserve, in which local people also live, is primarily dedicated to the protection of African Elephant populations which migrate through the region.[5][6]
As of 2012, it had a population of 89,782.[7]
