I frequently get 2 or 3 year old 777s on the ADD & EBB routes.
Have a look at FR24's lists and you will see it's not all bad. However, you don't state where in Africa you fly, so hard to confirm your particular route. Regardless, all 777s have the angled flat business seat. The only way to get consistency is to be right up the pointy end in F, which is usually very empty on African routes.
