The strategic site, where Congolese troops had been positioned, is the last military obstacle to the anti-government force before the city of a million people some 30 kilometres (17 miles) away.
M23 fighters seized Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu, in a lightning offensive in late January and have since pushed south towards Goma.
Bukavu previously fell to soldiers who deserted the Congolese army in 2004 and the capture of the city would effectively give the M23 total control of the Lake Kivu area.
Motorbikes laden with mattresses and personal belongings began to be unloaded on the streets of the city.
In Bukavu, the city authorities sent their staff home and shops closed.
