Mashuru is a division in Kenya's Kajiado County in the former Rift Valley Province.[1] [2] [3] [4] It is inhabited by the Maasai people.[2] [5] [6] The most populated settlement in the district is also named Mashuru, but is often called "Mashuru town" — similarly to many other districts and counties in Kenya named after the most populous town or vice versa.[7]
