Strange could be in Wakanda to get away from Thanos. Since he knows that he has the Time Stone, he's not going to go to Xandar to fight him, he's going to go to Wakanda as a safe haven. The Outriders will invade Wakanda for the Time Stone and Mind Stone, and while that goes one, Thanos is on Xandar battling Iron Man, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, and Gamora. The film is meant to jump around a lot. Plus, the Outrider invasion of Wakanda and the fight on Xandar are at the end, whereas the Stargate attack on New York is closer to the beginning. It's not like Strange would go absent after the Stargate attacks.
