Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You should be able to find a file "KEGE8AFL.dta", which gives the (displaced) coordinates of the clusters. You can merge with the IR file, for example, matching v001 in the IR file with DHSCLUST in the GE file. In the IR file, v024 is region. "Region" is the generic label for v024, the first administrative level, but in Kenya these are counties. When the clusters are displaced, they are kept in the original county--they are never moved into an adjacent county.

I don't believe any smaller geographic units are coded in the data. Let us know if you have difficulty with the merge.
