From the context it seems like this was something they got the chance to see/visit.
I would go for 'got to see several black/white herds'
or 'got to visit several black/white herds'.
Another option for your sentence is simply 'Despite that the group visited several...'
I would go for 'got to see several black/white herds'
or 'got to visit several black/white herds'.
