Ombella-M'Poko is one of the 20 prefectures of the Central African Republic.[1] [2] Its capital is Boali since 10 December 2020.[3] One important tourist attraction is the Falls of Boali; however, due to the Boali dam, the falls only carry water on the weekends.
The prefecture lies in the southwestern part of the country and borders the prefectures of Ouham to the north; Lobaye to the south; Ouham-Pendé, Nana-Mambéré, and Mambéré-Kadéï to the west; and Kémo, as well as the independent city of Bangui and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the east.
Lake Manuela is also located in this region.
