If you're short on time and have to choose between hiking Lions Head or taking the cable car to Table Mountain, it really depends on your preferences and fitness level. The hike up Lions Head takes about 2-3 hours round trip, depending on your pace and fitness level. The trail is steep in places, and there are ladders and chains to help you climb up the rocky sections. The views from the top are stunning, with panoramic views of the city, ocean, and surrounding mountains. If you're not up for the hike or have limited time, taking the cable car up to Table Mountain is a good alternative. The cable car ride takes about 5 minutes, and you'll be rewarded with similar breathtaking views of Cape Town and the surrounding areas. Personally, I would recommend doing the Lions Head hike if you have the time and fitness level. It's a great way to experience the natural beauty of Cape Town and get some exercise in. Plus, the views from the top are truly unbeatable.

When it comes to walking alone, safety is always a concern, and it's important to take precautions no matter where you are. In the case of hiking up Lions Head in Cape Town, it's generally considered safe to walk alone during the day, as long as you take certain safety measures. Firstly, it's always a good idea to let someone know where you're going and when you expect to return, just in case something happens. It's also a good idea to carry a fully charged phone, plenty of water, and sunscreen, as the climb can be strenuous and the sun can be strong. Additionally, it's recommended that you stick to the main trail, as taking shortcuts or veering off the path can be dangerous. Lastly, it's best to avoid walking alone at night, as the area can be poorly lit and more dangerous.
