Does the lens work ok without the teleconverter? Or is it black with and without the tc?

I would be surprised if the lens AND tc combination work with the D3400. The lens ok but not both.

Besides, combining 500mm + 2x tc =1000mm. Add the 1.5x DX crop factor of the D3400 and you are looking at 1500mm. Good luck holding that steady!!

Forget the tc, you won't need it anyway and it will screw up your exposure, iso and shutter speed options...even if you can get it to work.

Most African safaris get you close enough to animals to use much shorter focal lengths than you expect.
