The video was filmed by neighbour Howard James Fyvie in April, after he and his friends witnessed the primates climbing through an upstairs window of a house in Betty's Bay on the Western cape of South Africa.
Once inside the house, the gang of baboons proceeded to ransack the house in their search for food, helping themselves to chicken in the kitchen
Eventually Mr Fyvie managed to chase off the creatures using a broom. The video which was posted onto YouTube last month, has been viewed over 225,000 times.
