Proposal
This proposal suggests to map designated routes where tourists can take their car or attend a bus ride, usually inside safari zoos, as route relations. The tag route=safari should be established to use on these kinds of relations. The routes should be official and established. The tag is not supposed to be used on roads/routes that happen to be used by some hotel for their safari tours sometimes.
Rationale
Tagging
Examples
Impact on Data Consumers
Because this proposal does not affect existing tags and would only lead to new relations being created, data consumers are not impacted. However, there are new opportunities for specialized renderers, travel planing platforms and other 3rd party services, if they decide to implement safari road specific applications.

External discussions
The idea for the original proposal started in Note 4330704. I then proposed Proposal:Safari Service Road, pivoting to a route based approach instead after gathering community feedback.
