Do you usually check-in or carry-on your luggage for safari?

Small travel-size cans of hair spray or deodorant (though should be the "pump"-type) can be packed in checked bags.
Though I never carry nor have need of pepper spray anywhere, if you feel you must and thus choose to take, absolutely in checked luggage.
I wouldn't be surprised if your bag is opened for inspection, this item might very well be removed. Personally, I can't think of any dark alleys or parking lots which might necessitate the use of this product... leave at home.

TSA allows 4 ozs of pepper spray in your checked baggage. But, I don't know what the rules are for international travel.

Given the long term performance of both BA and LHR, not just the recent Terminal 5 fiasco, we are going to go carry on only on our September safari. Due to small plane flights on the safari, we are restricted to a duffel per person of 26 pounds anyway, which is quite manageable as carry on anyway. Unless you are spending a couple of nights in your African arrival city. delayed luggage would probably never catch up to you.
