A rare almost full-circle rainbow has been photographed at Victoria Falls - by an amateur snapper.

Beginner Nicole Cambert was stood on the Zambian side of the impressive natural spectacle when she took the picture.

Nicole, a 42-year-old lawyer from Brussels, captured the shot from Livingstone Island, which is perched on the edge of the Falls in the very midst of this thundering mass of water.

She explained: "Capturing the rainbow over the falls was more challenging than I thought especially with the spray. On Livingstone Island on top of the falls I finally managed to capture this full rainbow."

While the picture shows most of the arc, it is very rare to see a full circle rainbow as the bottom is usually blocked by your horizon.

Victoria Falls is said to be the largest waterfall in the world.
