Mashuru is a division in Kenya's Kajiado County in Rift Valley Province.[1][2][3][4] It's settled by 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]
