He told BBC Sport Africa: "We have to sit down again and see what's next.
"And then I'd be happy to come back here for next season.
"Scottish people and the community, they really look after visitors.
"They are good people and they embrace their culture."
His future at the club is contingent on Lennon's, who is currently in talks with Dunfermline chiefs having also signed a short-term deal.
The Kenyan midfielder has spoken highly of his reunion with Lennon, who first brought him to Parkhead in 2011.
He said: "He made me get to the next level of football.
"He knows me very well, so it is easy when someone like Neil calls.
"He's passionate and he's a winner."
Wanyama also took on a leadership role within the squad, offering guidance to younger players.
He said: "We had a young team and I had to play a role in that, speaking to the young lads, trying to help them in training.
"I think that itself has been a big role."
The midfielder will be looking to continue this influence should he remain at the club next season.
