Ndejje is a hill in Central Uganda. The hill rises 1240 m above sea level. Ndejje also refers to the trading center that has developed along the southern slopes of Ndejje Hill.

Location

Ndejje is located in Luweero District, approximately 42 km, by road, north of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. This location lies approximately 8 km, by road, northwest of the town of Bombo, on the Kampala-Masindi Highway.

Population

The exact population of Ndejje is not known at this time. However, Barnabus Iga Matovu, a journalist from the area, in 2012 gave the estimate population of Ndejje as over 10,000 (in a news article in a local newspaper). Matovu says the population has rapidly increased from that of about 1,000 people after the NRM Liberation war (1981–86) due to the rise of schools in the area specifically the university. The trading center also has attracted many people from villages around and land has become expensive.
