Til tross for at gruppa fikk besøke flere besetninger med svart/hvitt fe, fikk vi det inntrykk at tradisjonelt fe var mest utbredt.

were allowed to visit a number of herds
Explanation:
Were allowed to visit a nuber of herds
They got to visit several herds

Fikk is the past tense of (at) få, fikk, har fått - one of those multifuntional verbs, and the nearest English equivalent is to receive, get or acquire.

Få/ fikk + infinitive of another verb means 'were allowed to...' or 'got the chance to...'.

got to see several herds


Explanation:
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...'
