The migration of carnivores differ widely from that of herbivores and is controlled by many other factors other than lack of prey.
Carnivores, especially lions that you have mentioned, live and control certain specific regions of the land. The lion prides can hunt prey comfortably in the area where they have control.
If lions from one pride intrude in another pride's land, conflict can arise if they are noticed.
Therefore, most often than not, lions do not migrate and only rely on the little food that is left in their territory for survival until the prey move back to their lands.
On, the other hand, there are carnivores that have been documented to migrate along with the herds of their prey. The examples of such carnivores include wolves and lynx.

Animals like lion prefer to live with their pack. However, a male lion is separated for some time to gain strength so that he could protect the female members of his pack.
Lions prefer to own their place but they move from a place to place in search of food but don’t really migrate. After all, a king represents his throne.
