Is that because Africa is equatorial? Day length and Sun rise/set times don't change much over the year right?

No, Africa extends between 30 south and 30 north, roughly. Same latitude as the south of the US.

The US also has a North. Most people in the US are above 30 North, and daylight saving is pointless in the south.
