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.

Rangers star Hamza Igamane ‘wanted by SEVEN clubs' across Europe as asking price ‘revealed'
It could be an EIGHT-figure profit A WANTED IGAMANE Rangers star Hamza Igamane 'wanted by SEVEN clubs' across Europe as asking price 'revealed' HAMZA IGAMANE is attracting new interest from France, with up to SEVEN clubs across Europe keen on the Rangers star. That's according to a report in France, which also lists the asking price the Ibrox club is reportedly demanding. Advertisement 1 Hamza Igamane celebrates his winner in the 3-2 win over Celtic in March Credit: Willie Vass Igamane, 22, only joined Gers last summer from FAR Rabat in his homeland of Morocco last summer. He cost the Light Blues £1.7million and is sure to net them a profit whenever he does leave. The forward took a while to impose himself on the starting XI under Philippe Clement but around the turn of the year was the main man up top. He dropped behind Cyriel Dessers in the pecking order once Barry Ferguson was named interim boss but still produced a stunning winner against Celtic in a 3-2 Old Firm derby victory at Parkhead. Advertisement Dessers is also the subject of transfer interest so while Rangers are in rebuild mode under Russell Martin, it's unlikely both of them would depart in the same window. According to Foot Mercato in France, Lens, Lille, Rennes and Strasbourg have joined Premier League side Everton in adding the striker to their wanted list. It's also said that Brentford and West Ham are keen on the player. Interestingly, Igamane could then feasibly end up replacing the ex-Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi, who has been outcast at Rennes. Advertisement It was reported back in March that La Liga outfit Sevilla were also exploring a potential swoop for Igamane. Sevilla baulked at the thought of a £10m transfer fee but according to Foot Mercato, the price has only gone up with Gers now demanding £12.7m for their young star. Rangers fans react to news Russell Martin is their new manager The links with Everton go back months as well, with the Toffees being connected with him during the January transfer window. Everton are also believed to be keen on Gers midfielder Mohamed Diomande. Advertisement Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
