Khan River

This initially started as a trip to Khan Mine, but we could not find it, so we ended up in the Khan River instead.

The Khan River has beautiful rock formations which caused the awesome mountain you see in that picture. There is also a Welwitschia plant along the river but please do follow the map on the board (the board is along the Husab Mine road) before you go exploring all willy nilly.

Word of advice before you venture off to the Khan River:

1.       Go with a 4x4 or an off-road vehicle

2.       Take water along because the air is dry

3.       Take sunscreen along if you plan on walking in the river

4.        Have your phone with you (mind you, you will lose network once in the river but there is a network closer to the Husab mine)

Please note that this is certainly not my last attempt at the Khan Mine, next time I will go further up the river.

Location: The Khan River is located on an off-road to Husab Mine
