The movement of these animals has annual patterns and starts in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, in the Southern Serengeti, drawing a circle and covering the Serengeti National Park and the Masai Mara National Park. During the mass movement of these animals, you can see the predators pouncing on their prey and the prey sprint for survival.
