Broom style.  The straight trunk starts branching at one point forming a crown of many fine branches.                
Photo left:-  After rare rains the pale patches of grass on the red dunes will last as food for many months. The camelthorn tree Acacia erioloba is a hardy large tree up to 15 m high with nourishing leaves and seedpods that are eaten by many different animals, including humans.
I have not seen the camelthorn  tree as Bonsai. It can stand any treatment in nature, but do not touch those very long deep roots. Grown from seeds it tends to aim for 15 m with a long thin stalk. etc.
 
         
The scented flaking bark of the Commiphora sp. 
There are many  species of  Commiphora, also known as balsam-tree and kanniedood(cannot die).  They are relative easy as bonsai trees if grown from seeds.  Wild trees do not want to be disturbed.
