Serengeti is really far from the Crater, about a 5 hr drive. Generally once they roam to the crater they stay there. It’s much cooler with herds that stay put all year round. While the shoulder mane isn’t nearly as prevalent outside of the crater it can happen from time to time.

I dunno, it surprises me how far nomadic lions can travel. Back in 2017, Hjalmar was ousted from his pride in the crater - the next year, he was spotted near the border of the Serengeti!

It can happen it’s just rare. But fear of losing their life could definitely force them to take that risk. Reply
