The Khan has its origin near the settlement of Otjisemba, north-west of Okahandja. From there the river course passes westwards to the town of Usakos, and further in a south-western direction through the Namib desert. It has its confluence with the Swakop River 40 km east of Swakopmund.[3]

It is a popular tourist attraction due to the proliferation of mammals such as the klipspringer antelope,[4] ostriches and jackals.
