EURO or USD in Africa?

We are a small european operator and have 2-weeks trips in Africa 2-3 times a year visiting 10-12 countries. Up until now, I´ve always taken only dollars with me for landing fees etc. (around 12´000 USD). On this trip, I noticed
that some airports offered to have the bill paid in Euro (e.g HAAB or FCBB).
Countries in northern africa always have accepted payments in Euro (Algeria,
Tchad etc.)

What are your experiences. You take only dollars with you or split it up to
half euros/half dollars (e.g 5000 Euros, 7000 dollars)?
