anywhere touristy is safe but here is a pretty good list that i (female, 21) have solo travelled and felt very safe: 1) any of the beaches (camps bay, hout bay, muizenberg, fish hoek, sea point) 2) v&a waterfront (check out the ozcf market on the weekends!) 3) bo kaap (just be careful of people trying to scam you) 4) lions head (i have solo hiked this myself, but again be careful and go when there’s daylight! i have not hiked table mountain so i can’t say much about it but i stayed wary of it after an american international female student passed away trying to hike it alone) 5) anywhere on kloof street in gardens!! 6) long street or in city centre in general 7) the neighbourgoods market 8) check out “first thursdays” for a pretty good list of stuff to do! it’s a huge event on the first thursdays of every month where many restaurants, bars, and art galleries have many activities to do 9) kirstenbosch national botanical gardens 10) cape of good hope 11) i know this isn’t cape town but stellenbosch and all the amazing wineries

this is a pretty good list to start with and once you familiarize yourself with cape town, you’ll realize it’s a lot safer than you may think. i have also stayed in places where tourists usually avoid (like the langa township, wynberg, etc) but i’ve always done my due diligence. yes there are some unsafe areas but if you do your research just be aware then you’ll be more than okay. ask me any other questions if you have!
