Interestingly, the predators are the happiest creatures in the wild during the season when the wildebeest give birth and migrate.

This is a period for survival battle because as these creatures move, they meet several obstacles that make watching them more exhilarating. Talk of the hills, the rivers and valleys, the predators (the lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, the crocodiles, Hippos, and vultures) that cannot follow the migrations but rather wait to kill the weak as they cross their territories, and the Mara River where the climax of the migration is witnessed make up the trip highlight. This exodus is very dramatic from the start to the end, right from Serengeti national park, where the creatures after giving birth, feed on the existing pasture that gets scorched off with time, living them hungry and in need of help thus the start of the mission to Masai Mara national park in Kenya; adorned with fresh pasture and water.
The Mara River in Kenya offers a new revelation about this entire wildebeest migration, and people call it the climax of the event and a taste for survival for the fittest. The struggling mammals and the happy predators leave the onlookers with: Lots of keenness on who is next to fall into the trap of the hungry hippos and crocodiles, sadness of watching the brutal killings, and excitement of watching the drama and the motivation of grabbing the best and clearest photo as possible.
Those that are triumphant and enter the land full of freshwater and pasture are still stocked, and hunted by the merciless predators searching for survival at Masai Mara national park; a habitant of the unmatched population of lions, as well as several predators such as leopards, cheetahs and hyenas among others. Doubtless, the weather is a significant element in determining the movements of these creatures: December to March has a short dry season, whereas April to May is known for long periods of rain, and June to September having moderate rains and prolonged drought, making it hard to predict the exact dates these creatures will decide to migrate.
