Start near the middle of Uganda and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 1.3804° S, 147.4535° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Kiribati 🇰🇮, roughly 883 km (549 miles) east.
The closest settlement of any size is Papeete, French Polynesia, about 1,811 km (1,125 miles) from the point.
